https://t.co/aBfhaBmneN As I'm told that Monday is a great day for new content. Here's a shameless plug for Dispatches from Appalachia.

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

I grew up with guns, but in a state with fairly strict gun control laws. Wondering how many states would allow you to bring home that working pre-1987 machine gun you purchased at Knob Creek. #guns

No humor in this Dispatches. Just tooth and claw as we take on guns in The Cult of Pig Iron and The Taste of Copper. Enjoy!

https://t.co/QTlPmuTbNq <--- Alright, word fam - I don't settle for Dispatches that only get 12 views so.......

Maybe do a struggling humorist a favor and share? #humor #gonzo #Appalachia

I've been mentoring a writer from Eastern Kentucky. Last night he sent me this, a devastating personal look at what #healthcaredisparities look like in his area of Appalachia. Follow him on Medium, give him a tip. https://t.co/U0FYzScTPG #healthcare #poverty

I remember the vampire killers incident, and the fear from Columbine. And hearing from peole with nonconforming kids today … has anything really changed? There are still bullies, backed up by their parents.

Brand new Dispatches from Appalachia. This time dealing with the Satanic Panic of the late 90's, The so called 'Vampire Killers' and small town America.

@SaraWebbScience It’s going to take laws a long time to catch up with the ethical considerations in AI art.

I have to hustle a bit harder, but I get to spend more time with blood and chosen family. I can take care of my own mental health needs. Just tired of being treated as a second-class citizen by the establishment. #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers

3 in 5 freelancers say they make the same or more than they’d make working for a traditional employer. 60% say no amount of money would convince them to take a traditional job.

Freelancing allowed me to earn a living while being there for my mother slowly dying of cancer and my dad experiencing heart failure. If you want to be helpful, give editorial freelancers real, uncomplicated tax deductions. #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers

@cafwu @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh @POTUS @VP Join us by sharing your stories on social media regarding why you chose to become a self-employed #smallbiz owner instead of an employee, just like the 70%-85% of ICs who prefer to work on their own terms, per govt/private studies dating to 2015.

This sums up my thoughts admirably. If this is implemented my main client will not be able to survive, and I like the freedom of having a variety of clients. #WhatTheHellDOL

@CashSupport Addendum: in PA, you cannot use the simplified business deductions on the federal Schedule C. You have to itemize. Note what the rejection said. Thanks for taking what used to be a great product through @creditkarma and completely trashing it.

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@CashApp Taxes, just tried fixing the error and refiling for the 14th time. Got this error message the 15th time. I DIDN’T CLAIM THESE EXPENSES. FIX YOUR GLITCHY CODE. @BrianFitzUSA get a load of this. #cashapptaxes

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@CashSupport Customer support contacted me. After implementing their “suggestions” and trying once more to refile, getting a 17th rejection, I used @FreeTaxUSA .

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@CashApp Taxes. Just fixed the SAME ERROR and REFILED FOR THE 12TH TIME. FIX. YOUR. GLITCHY. CODE. OR GET BACK TO ME. #CashAppTaxes #TaxTwitter #freelance

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@CashApp Taxes. Fix your faulty code. I have tried to file my completed forms 8 TIMES in the past 12 hours. Keeps generating the same error on my state tax form, which I fix and refile. Opened a case file. Please someone get back to me.

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@IamRageSparkle Ha! I have friends in Silver Spring and noticed that about the streets in Columbia. Wild!

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@colefurd Well this is the reason I just spent half an hour hiding in my basement.

[Christiane Truelove @ChristianeTrue]

@samgleesonart @neilhimself Honestly, I've never watched the Good Place, but this interview with actor won me over. Death in the comics was also a go-with-the-flow, "ADVENTURE!" kind of gal:

@neilhimself @samgleesonart My black goth friends are loving this casting, and so am I. Just refound my issue of Sandman No. 2 you signed all those years ago! Looking forward to the series.
