I also want to make it clear that:

* We've already asked for all the money we can from friends and family

* We have 2 rent free months after the end of May, which means we basically just need money for the internet bill, insurance and food.

* We are both looking to find a stable income that's not asking for one time donations. By the end of the year we want to have our shit together and look a head.

#TipYourFriends

** Look ahead = build a family and home

@woozle not really. Since I've spent most of the past 6 years sick.
I could work with Mastodon because it was a passion project.

I but I'm starting to consider what I could do in regards to work that I haven't tried before, but I'm not very optimistic, because of my chronic pain.

@woozle that said, your question did make me think that I probably should write a CV soon, see what I got and where I'm at. :)

@maloki Chronic pain is awful; I have friends who deal with it, and... yeah. :-( The closest I've come is incapacitating headaches at random intervals, and that was plenty bad enough.

I'm still catching up with your other messages, but over the longer term I'd like to find some way to fund a small team for "stuff that really should get written" -- so that's my primary reason for asking.

A secondary reason is that I occasionally come across... (cont.)

@maloki ...paying part-time distance-work that I only _partly_ qualify for -- but if I know someone else whose skills matches the _rest_ of the requirements, it might be possible to do the work as a team of some sort.

(That's pretty much how @LottieVixen and I landed some regular coding work together just this past week.)

Will read the threads you linked next.

@woozle Ohh. I do want to get into writing again, does having a BA in English good enough? A copy-editing course, and a lot of writing.

I'm still misisng a few points to actually get the degree, but I wrote and passed the BA paper last year.

@maloki Oops, by "writing" I meant "coding" -- but now you've got me thinking about other kinds of writing and how that could dovetail with other projects I've got going, like Issuepedia. ...because it does seem like there's also a good deal of non-coding writing to be done as well.

On a related tack: do you know anything about shopping writing to potential publishers?

@woozle No.
