Has anyone gotten health insurance through Freelancers Union vs going to the ACA independently and had it be less finally awful? Especially if you’re in your 40s/50s. What my wife and I are currently paying is just not tenable and I’m trying to do my research

And now that I've mentioned the vet bills (emergency care, insulin, ongoing tests) plus child support, it's time for a promo post for my new release so we can keep Malala in diabetic kitty food! FALSE FLAG - now available in digital, print, and audio buy now: geni.us/FalseFlag

False Flag “Fiercely intelligent and deeply researched, False Flag is a righteous indictment of our disinformation landscape while also being a smoking hot romance. It gave me more catharsis than anything else I read all year.” - Emma Barry, author of You, Me, & the Conspiracy

Malala's blood tests came back mostly positive & she & Jocelyn are adjusting to their new routine. Here is the requisite pet tax. Malala is not pleased with having a feeding schedule (she likes small snacks all day), so she's following Jocelyn around the house w/her stuffed hamster demanding food.

Malala and her hamster looking at the camera. Her mouth is open as she voices her displeasure at not having food on demand.

What the Authors Guild is saying about the Anthropic settlement chaos, incl this: "Rasenberger was adamant that agents are not entitled to receive any portion of the settlement...'it is very clear you have to be a rights holder to file a claim.'" www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Authors Guild Addresses Anthropic Settlement Concerns

When claim notices in the $1.5 billion agreement went out last week, many authors were surprised to see they would not be receiving what they believed was their share of the settlement.

The settlement administrators have written back and explained to me that indeed, if you select either "author" or "author loan-out company" as your entity when you first signed up, it will assume that there is a silent publisher, unless you say that you are the sole owner of the work.

So I wrote to the Anthropic settlement administrators about this, and I think I got an answer, and their answer, uh, I have asked for clarification.

Authors who are members of the class in the Anthropic Settlement, please be aware that if you have a work in the settlement which has multiple authors but is self-published (or the rights have reverted), the settlement allocation is buggy. Explanation below

The Anthropic settlement allocation is buggy for self publishers with multiple authors
