The default demo is "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

To that end, if anyone has any info on TL or editing projects looking for an experienced hand (9 years and counting), I would love to hear about them!

I love working in loc so much and would love to be able to keep sharing my talents and put out the best possible works for readers.

I have a lot of skills, but I'm not being given the chance to utilize them

I know we have a lot of problems in creative spheres in general lately thanks to the rise of AI and economic concerns, but it's looking bleak. I still have a couple projects on my plate that I'm really excited for, but still

I never depression post so I think I'm owed one- Starting to wonder whether I'm going to be able to remain in this industry. The past year or so it has been increasingly difficult to find work for some reason, and all the stable positions seem out of reach.

lost years, by SandReckoner 9 track album
