#InuendoStudio has been producing some really great video series, especially the #altright #playbook, a great help to anyone trying to figure out why #socialmedia have been so useful to #extremerightwing movements. He is now in deep financial difficulties and might be forced to put an end to this work.

His situation is not unique. Many #freelance #contentproducers are in similar difficulties. If we want to keep seing great content, we need to support them.

Must be competent:

- Making phone calls on behalf of others.
- With calendar management (putting my to-do list into my work calendar).
- Able to provide a check in call on weekday afternoons.

Must be knowledgeable and experienced with Autistic people.

Organisational skills essential. Must be reliable.

I'm trying to brainstorm other types of paid work I can do, on a part-time or contract basis, to help bridge the gap to financial sustainability for the writing and publishing work I've started this year.

Tell me I'm wrong? 🫠

Really interesting day. Some work on an article (yeah yeah bank holiday smoliday for Freelancers), an invitation back to Kosovo later in the year, an interview for an upcoming FreeCAD piece, and then a tricky but worthwhile bit of devrel work. #freelance

Et bien entendu il y a eu des prestataires pour y répondre (on sent le besoin de payer les factures et l'absence de vrais projets dispos) et l'un d'entre eux a emporté la mission.

Les sites pour freelances et de recherche d'emploi sont vraiment devenus n'importe quoi.

just sent out one of those emails where I ask the client to double my hours;

I don't do it often, but after looking at actual hours spent last year on their site, I need a bit more $ to keep up the good work we're doing together;
