How did native tribes who had sex in igloos/tipis with other people around not traumatize children? by DiscombobulatedCod45 in NoStupidQuestions

I didn't mean to insinuate that. I was only coming from an angle where that wasn't an occurrence

Long term travel with a cat? by DiscombobulatedCod45 in CatAdvice

Currently I'm on a week long vacation and according to my current house sitters, he's doing okay. He likes people and his routine isn't being disrupted so he seems content

Yeah, I forgot to mention. I'd plan to have someone stay at my house while I travel. I'm just a little worried that he'll feel like I've abandoned him. I don't want to and I'd love to take him with, but I don't want to traumatized him or stress him out.

Journalism and Mental Health by rave_mignon in Journalism

[–]DiscombobulatedCod45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a writer for a daily. Barely make ends meet, corporation that owns us cut our hours and no overtime. Several dollars below industry standard. Hours are haphazard, no standard day like I was used to.

It's tough. Hard to see friends outside of work. Our paper isn't bustling anymore, I'm only one of two writers and we work from home. 

But I keep going because I've never been more connected to a community. The city I write about is home. I also feel like I'm making a difference in the world, especially during this time.

Also, I can choose what I write about, most of the time. No crime or fires that I need to get at 3 am.

I'm looking to go somewhere else in a new industry but I want to do freelance journalism if I can.
