Hire Candice!
Today is the first anniversary of this post. I'm still looking for more work/a new job. If anyone here is looking for a culture journalist with deep experience in reporting, critical analysis, cover stories, etc, let's connect. Highlights of my work are below. Full portfolio and email are in my bio.
As I am back on the job hunt (and, in the meantime, the freelance work hunt), I'm dropping a thread of some of my proudest work here for consideration. Contact info and journalism portfolio are both linked in my bio. www.huffpost.com/entry/future...

These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions - The Sick Times
While most of the music industry has moved on, COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

I really like doing 15-20 minute studies of classic art that I connect to. It makes me go to wikipedia and learn a little about it, which is nice. I never knew what this poster was for or who made it before it became a tin sign at every Home Goods. Now I do.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Great thread
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
