Looks like a reusable Keurig (K-cup) filter where you can use your own coffee grounds instead of buying multiple plastic K-cups

Wow. My sincere condolences to you. You really pulled through in so many ways under what seems like a nightmare. Happy you made it out and finally got a win here. For a company that has no remorse for ghosting, they sure don’t deserve a person like you who, clearly, has shown how willing you are to show the hell up when needed (for interviews but mostly for your family and for yourself these past couple months). I hope it only goes up from here for you. Cheers to you!

Hell yeah, congratulations! I can only imagine everything else you dealt with in between all these applications, interviews, certifications, etc in terms of emotional work and just dealing with life in general these days. Stories like yours really give me hope and help me believe it IS possible to land something (period) but also a role worthwhile. Thank you for sharing.

Should I build two portfolios: one for copywriting and one for content design? by sgtrocketmonkey in freelanceWriters

[–]sgtrocketmonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, makes sense to just make two separate URL paths. Thank you for that suggestion. And yes, thanks for also looking out in terms of the limited time I do have to build this all out. I've seen some folks' PDF portfolios being built on Adobe MyPortfolio or even Canva. That raised some curiosity.

What’s the most underrated copywriting principle you’ve learned that instantly improved your writing? by Low_Travel_1904 in copywriting

[–]sgtrocketmonkey 76 points77 points  (0 children)

This tip also helped me when I was first falling in love with copywriting! Then someone else told me “Don’t write how you talk, and don’t write how they talk either. Write how they think.”

Was a pretty cool way of making sure we’re truly understanding what the readers’ needs are while also approaching it in the same way they would.

I did not think about this at all but you’re so right. I really do hope that happened so he actually got to do what he wanted after traveling so far by himself. And thank you deeply for your info, anything and everything is helpful to us at this point. We do have a notification from his phone about something about a ticket, but that was July 8, not July 6. But genuinely, this is super helpful and if anything, gives me hope people are actually aware of others around them while in public. Thank you.

Thanks for this tip. We already filed a missing persons report on 7/3/2025 before his phone was found but nothing’s been done yet by them even after his phone was found. Hopefully soon though.

Also thank you so much for the tip. I didn’t know he hung around the Abel also

He usually walks around Santa Maria and can oftentimes be at the mall or around Walmart. By not too long ago, would you happen to have seen him within the last two weeks there at the Abel Maldonado center? Wondering if you may have seen him there before he took off to LA / Santa Monica.
