I asked Deirdre Flynn if she wanted to write this anonymously, it’s scary to write as yourself and honestly. She was brave enough to write this: “I’ve taken every contract .. hourly, zero hour, part-time, full-time.. at the end of every month .. my wage won’t cover my expenses.”

[stormjameson @stormjameson91]

Well it’s about time somebody did...
