it's really weird to have developed super specialized knowledge of the art industry and art crime for three years and then just suddenly stop developing it or reporting on it due to a layoff; but this happens to so many reporters and then I see discussions about declining public trust in the media

Whoever thought incorporating videos into the job application process was a good idea, I hope you're having a terrible day.

The amount of people I know out of work sure is not concerning at all.

Sending you all the good vibes on the search!

My latest for Star Wars dot com is up!

I'm trying to focus on applications in the pr/comms/editorial spaces, but I'm also just applying to like anything because bills. :)

And after two really bad vibe interviews in the last two weeks and a healthy stack of rejections, I am just:

(not really but AAAAAA)

Big shrug on the freelance/job search front lol.

I'm finding kind of hard to be excited for my birthday later this month given everything. 😔 But I will get to excited and whimsical about turning 30 if it kills me.

Watch that crossfire, boys.

#FF7 x #StarWars

the vibes are pretty bleak right now

Resharing again as I'm still on the hunt for my next freelance gig or any part or full time jobs I might be a fit for!

Had a really great weekend with friends that was a great distraction from real life shit going on and now we're back to reality. 😔

Omg, happy birthday!! 🥳🩵

The cover of Star Wars Dad Jokes Strike Back, depicting Darth Vader playing golf with his lightsaber while stormtroopers look on awkwardly. Vader says, "So two stormtroopers walk into a cantina..."

How many Sith does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They like it on the dark side.

A #StarWars Dad Jokes sequel?! Never tell me the odds! STAR WARS DAD JOKES STRIKE BACK, coming April 28, 2026 and now available to preorder ✨

So exciting Kelly!!

It's a weird time in my life lol.

"Got it memorized?"

Yeah, havent forgotten bout the dude in over 15 years.

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

A Kimono decorated with skeletons, from Japan, 1840-1860 CE,
now housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London

Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.

Any editors looking for a story on the current state of freelancing (either freelance writing specifically or just in general)? Because I sure have thoughts on it!

That it is!

Happy Visions Vol. 3 Day! You should definitely not consider reading this piece I wrote ok the first two volumes today. ☺️

I miss cosplaying so much. 😔

I love getting a rejection email that tells me I'm not qualified to be a part time admin assistant lol

I'm so sorry Karen. I'm also going through a massive loss of work and it's a really rough position to be in. I hope you find something soon.

That mural is so pretty 😭

Resharing because in the span of two days my remaining steady contract was ended out of the blue and ummm, I am in desperate need of work!

Ang full or part time leads would be appreciated too!

I'm glad you got some new work! But yeah, it's extremely frustrating to lose work and know so many other freelancers who've lost work too or who're struggling as well. 😩
