So something like the #PostOffice #HorizonScandal could then happen to all #SelfEmployed people... a software bug creating the impression they have something wrong when they haven't. What a bright idea.

Having #editor buddies (aka #edibuddies) is vital to #MentalHealth when you're #SelfEmployed. I've enjoyed talking & planning this week with The Quad, the #mastermind group I've been part of since 2015. It's great to analyze biz plans, compare work tools, & get support. 💖 https://quadlings.com/

Fellow #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditors, #ScienceEditors, & #AcademicEditors, you need to read this entire Bluesky thread about #reference list #fakery created by #AI. #Researcher–#authors aren’t verifying or reading what they cite as source papers. https://bsky.app/profile/benpatrickwill.bsky.social/post/3mae76wbmcs2n

(Sorry in advance for bombarding with hashtags, but..)

Yet again I plead to the #Fediverse to get #Fedihired as a paid or unpaid #DataAnalyst #intern. I'm not formally trained but (as uncomfortable as it is for me to boast) I truly feel that I have the cognitive *capability* of learning as I go. I want to see whether I actually *can* do so.

Unfortunately I'm guessing this is probably the worst possible time to try and break into the industry, however I am desperate and hoping for a miracle.

I've always been "self-taught" because I've never been an ideal student. It's how I learned to program #PHP, #SQL, and how I learned to work with #spreadsheets.

I might not be an expert with any of those topics but I usually managed to stumble my way through, and accomplish the goal I needed, serving my purpose for a previous employer for 8½ years, until their financial position necessitated my layoff.

I need real-life experience working with #Data and hopefully build a portfolio I can use for #gig work or a job or something.

So I'm reaching out to #selfemployed any #Data experts to ask if they might need help. Let me take a stab at some non-critical things.

If I suck, you're not out more than just a little bit of your time interacting with me; you were going to do it yourself anyway, right?

If I do it *well*, then you just got free labor, I get experience and potential portfolio fodder.

Plus you get the sense of pride from helping someone struggling to survive, and helping a #neurodivergent, #LGBTQ couple who both struggle with #MentalIllness and #poverty.

Obviously I will take *paid* work as well; remember, #MinimumWage in my state is still a measly seven dollars and twenty-five goddamned cents per hour, so you can go super cheap.

Think of it like you're rummaging through the bargain bin for temp workers and you decide to give some no-name brand a try: Me!!

The best kind of day for me as a #SelfEmployed #editor: When an #author emails me to say they’re very happy with my #edits and feel that I helped them say things very #clearly, so they will be #recommending me to their #colleagues. ☀️

I've been a #SelfEmployed #editor since 1995, & I can say it's worthwhile being a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA). I still often wear the first #EFA T-shirt I ever bought, because it carries #work memories for me. But they have lots of cool new #shirts too: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/efashop

I’m speaking to more and more people who are considering going #freelance / #contracting - and I’m loving it.

Great to see people going for the autonomy to build something for themselves.

Hey are there any other #introverted , highly ethical, justice sensitive, rejection sensitive, reluctant #entrepreneur #selfemployed #anticapitalist s out here just trying to figure out how to do your thing? I feel like if I’m going to find you anywhere, it’s here on mastodon, and I feel like we should stick together and figure out the whole strength-in-numbers thing.

#RSD #neurodivergent #adhd #ActuallyAutistic

I can’t believe how good it feels to be able to speak these truths (and be actually doing it for a living).

I heard every reason under the sun that I wouldn’t succeed at making a living this way for decades before I opened my doors a little over four years ago.

It’s not been easy, but I am so proud of how far this business (and I) have come.

In the way-back days of my other life, I had a garden retail shop that opened in 2001. The Great Recession brought that to a crashing conclusion, so I had to re-invent myself and start over, focusing just on garden design and installation. But here's my storefront at Easter, circa 2008 just before the bottom fell out.

I've done a regular intro but not a hashtag intro. Feels like high time I shared current interests (alphabetically) so that we can help each other find supportive communities.
