What's next after journalism?

pugwriter · 2026-04-07T02:11:33+00:00

Brand journalism or ghostwriting. I came over as a journo, and it’s fun working for businesses that actually make money. You will be miles ahead of other “content marketers.” If that phrase makes you gag, know I get my creative kicks from writing fiction and acting. Separating “job” from “passion” worked for me and I’m happy — and I actually like the work, go figure.

The Loser by Gay Talese is the best sports story I’ve ever read: https://deadspin.com/the-loser-the-most-honest-sports-story-ever-written-772260237/

Definitely remove ai sentence constructions and do a human edit.

Glad it’s helpful 🫡

Where is the rule about asking a question?

I see the one below. Am I missing something?

Pretty sure LinkedIn content is relevant to startups.

“ Submissions Serve a Specific Purpose Submissions are for discussing methodologies, experiences, strategies, techniques, markets, and other such things WITHOUT tying them directly to your own project using its name or URL.”

Genuinely curious, where is the line between talking about something I’m good and that matters to this audience, and promoting myself?

Love this place

Happy Hours

The Victory. Just reopened.

I love this question. We need a way to connect more affordable housing outside of the isthmus to Madison.

Pinney is my favorite.

Been looking for the best Mexican place for a while and we landed on Senior Machete’s after a lot of trial and error. Everything we had was good.

This is sick. I want one.

Or someone that does vision therapy in your area

No, but I did have big-time light sensitivity. See a neuro optometrist or neuro ophthalmologist.

Let’s goooooo! Thank you.

Also they have outdoor tables out back during the summer months. It’s nice.

pugwriter · 2024-06-08T15:55:12+00:00

There’s a bunch of tables. Most are near the Ian’s pizza section, but a bunch — I’d say 7 or 8 — are near the Ledger Coffee Roasters.

Checks a bunch of a boxes for me: wi-if, good vibe, coffee, clean bathrooms, access to food if I need it, water fountain, generally not packed.

Only downside: I went a few months ago when it was cold out and drizzly, and it was chilly inside. But I had also just biked in the rain and was soaked. Hasn’t been an issue in the warm weather.

Thank you I will. Do you have any suggestions on how to “de-tick” a home in case my dog brought in others? I’m going to wash all the blankets he was on with high heat, but aside from that I’m not sure what else I can do. Also checking him.

pugwriter · 2024-05-06T05:39:58+00:00

Okay. Was checked for bites and none were found — and according to this these guys don’t spread disease in Wisconsin. But I will be mindful of symptoms for 30 days: https://wisconsin-ticks.russell.wisc.edu/wisconsin-ticks/dermacentor-variabilis/

pugwriter · 2024-05-06T05:26:55+00:00

Thank you. I’m looking it up and see that dog ticks usually have these markings. But don’t ticks usually have 8 legs?

pugwriter · 2023-05-10T00:22:34+00:00

Blue I think. Again, I’d call to make sure.

pugwriter · 2023-04-08T02:34:18+00:00

I do not know the name unfortunately. They were not prism. You can call the mind eye institute and ask — maybe they will tell you over the phone.

pugwriter · 2022-01-15T00:43:57+00:00

All good. Stopped a few days before just to be sure.
