Here's what you need to know about setting up, building, and maintaining a travel fund.
Moving to a low-cost area could save you money, but will it cost your sanity?
BEGGING. Be involved at local & state levels. So much of what we see at the national level starts at school boards, council chambers & state houses. But state & local is where your voice is loudest and most effective. And where we are more likely to put a stop to this stuff before it gets to SCOTUS
Do you have freelance writing burnout? I've been there. Here are some things you can do to get through it and emerge on the other side.
Ugh sorry. Sending the hugs and the good vibes
In case you didn’t know, everyone who buys health insurance on the exchange is about to pay a lot more. Maybe double. Starting in 2026. This is the time to start preparing. If you need labs, scans, checkups get them now. And start thinking about your health budget now too.
That F. Scott Fitzgerald comment about the rich being different from you and me is obvious when you look at the U.S. tax code. A new study found that the total effective tax rate for the wealthiest 400 Americans was lower than the general U.S. population. www.dontmesswithtaxes.com/2025/08/why-...
Anyway, I’m in the process of hiring editors and writers and the test I constructed has two separate questions about sourcing. Because as someone trained as a journalist and hiring for a reputable institution, how you get sources and who you choose as a source are some of my biggest concerns .
Usually there’s a nice young man about to buy me a drink. Today it was an age appropriate man.
What in the weekend at Bernie’s are we talking about now?
This course has all the basics you need to establish yourself as a freelance writer and get your first paid client.
Are you destroying Western civilization if you don't procreate?
My hot take: yeah we on the left should be paying influencers and making it possible for the people who are fighting fascism to, like, eat and have a place to live while they do it.

You don’t HAVE to quit your 9-to-5 to have a good life and build wealth.
I travel much more than the average person. I'm often asked how I do it. Some of it's my travel fund. But I also save money on travel through other strategies.

Group case study in class. Chaos, talking in circles. With 3 minutes left, I cut in: should I tell how I’d list this out from my MBA days. Relief as they agree with my assessment and we turn it in just in time. Also, this is the 3rd grad level organizational theory class I’ve taken in my career.
Maybe you're already doing just fine as a writer but wondering how to tackle business aspects.
It’s okay just to do something because you enjoy it and not because it makes you money.

Leadership from @bradlander.bsky.social
You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.
This course will help you learn how to scale your efforts and add other revenue-producing projects to your business portfolio.

Most people won’t realize we’ve lost the republic until several years after it’s gone. Most of the eligible electorate has no idea what’s happening. They might have a vague feeling that things are worse, harder. But they don’t connect it to “politics.” I see it every day through the work I do.
I like you! Both of you!
I like you, friend!
Right? It was frustrating at first but now I’m like, ok?
Not sure about algo here; but I do know this is an account where I have fewer followers and, like other accounts, not much traction.
I’ve tried all sorts of things in the past, and crickets. So now I’m just living my life.
It really kind of is!
best thing about being ignored by the algorithm and getting no traction is that the pressure is off. I don’t post that much. because I don’t get the dopamine hit by seeing likes, etc., I check less. overall screen time is down by HOURS/day because the algo doesn’t like me and I just stopped trying.
Do you wish you could travel more? Do your finances get in the way of seeing more of the world?
Is buying a home the American Dream, or is owning a home making you house poor?
Why are 90% of op-eds scolding liberals for the way they talk about threats to democracy rather than scolding conservatives for threatening democracy
Perfect example of how these people think. Including the folks in charge here in Idaho. Would rather punish everyone than see one person they view as "undeserving" get something nice.

Watching Superman 2 for the first time. Obsessed with Ursa. Obsessed. Everything else about this movie is stupid.
Awarding myself partial points. I asked a polite question and then didn’t make a scene by calling bs on the bs answer.
Today’s goal at this so called listening tour for one of the most disingenuous politicians I’ve seen in awhile: keep my mouth shut, observe, and try not to make a scene.
Could marriage cost you more than staying single?

Three women. Keeping it afloat. Begging the rest of the board to take a specific action to get us out of last minute mode. The man board president: “That’s the miracle of this place. It just comes together and works!” My brother in Christ. It’s women. Not a miracle. It’s the unpaid labor of women.

The American press and public really need to figure out how to simply dismiss Trump's pretextual claims for authoritarian attacks and then resist the attack itself, not debate the claim. We have spent months asking "but is the Ivy League really antisemitic?" and now "but is DC really crime-ridden?"
Is Gavin Newsome my favorite? No. But his social media team is S tier

Hey you. Go drink a glass of water. (You’re probably a bit dehydrated like the rest of us)

Cutting Medicaid can seem like an easy way to slash the budget. But, the costs can spread to all of us.

Tbh. The hardest thing about coming back from days in nature and not having access to *all of this* is getting back on social media. I was bad at before. It’s worse now. I just kinda don’t wanna. But also. I work online. So I sort of need to be here.
This book truly resonated with my son when he was a tween.

Again, the choice to come back is a hard one. #idahoescape
1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

Via Threads "UPDATE: Missing sections of the Constitution Annotated website have been restored. Upkeep of Constitution Annotated and other digital resources is a critical part of the Library’s mission, and we appreciate the feedback that alerted us to the error and allowed us to fix it."
Learning being a "senior editor." Like making assignments, making sure the publishing process keeps moving along, and also handling things like "telling the writer they wrote something inaccurate without being a jerk." I have been working on this thing called "tact." Results have been mixed.
This is…concerning
“It’s not a coincidence that this resurgence of housewife iconography comes at the same time abortion rights have been stripped. What better way to quiet the next generation of girls, growing up without repro rights, than to tell them it’s actually progress? They’re making sexism aspirational.”
Smallest turnout we’ve had for Idaho Falls. But after doing this for a decade, and knowing how few people remain engaged, especially if it requires unsexy work in between, it doesn’t surprise me that even the “fun” stuff loses its flavor. Anyway props to the folks who showed up.
Ok but why do I know so many people visiting France right now?

A new study confirms what local docs & activists have been screaming about for years: Idaho lost 35% of its practicing OBGYNs after the state passed an abortion ban. These laws kill women in more ways than one idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/docto...
One of the most frustrating things about all of this, as someone who writes about things that impact the lives of everyday people, is the fact that what used to be a pretty reliable source of mostly accurate information just … isn’t … now.
Full-time entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone.
