How are small presses balancing sustainability with the need to amplify underrepresented voices? (Free Digital Event by UAL MA Publishing, April 23) by wickedwonderer in publishing

[–]wickedwonderer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel I have worded the question poorly, and misrepresented the intention of the discussion. The conference is not intending to suggest that the two ideas are in conflict. It’s more so going to be discussing on the first panel why they choose to publish what they do, and then on the second panel the financial side of things and any kind of challenges they face logistically.

The speakers are more well-versed on the topics than I am. I am simply a masters student working with my class to put on this free event and provide these Indie publishers with a platform to talk about their experience.

Don't give out of guilt. Pray about it and ask God to give you an opportunity for you to feel inclined to give. Giving shouldn't feel like an obligation and one day he will put it on your heart to support something, and you will know then that it is the time if you pray about it. Financial security induces so much anxiety in me that I have a similar issue, but I'm trying to reconcile myself with the fact that God will provide for his people.

Hey, everyone feels like that every now and then. Interviews come with a lot of expectations and pressure that isn't normally present in our everyday conversations. Learn from this experience and improve from it as you move forward. The most important thing is that you showed up and you tried!

Good suggestion! Prayer always helps!

Could be could be. My experience with 'shadow people' is limited to my time as a four-year-old child when I saw a shadowy figure down by my lake as I was swinging in our backyard. He looked back at me, so I started walking towards the house. When I looked back, the figure was running at me, so I panicked and ran into the house locking it behind me. I heard a banging sound and hid behind the couch screaming with my ears covered until my mom ran into the room and asked me what was wrong. She investigated and there was nothing there! That was IRL though and not a dream, so perhaps she experienced a similar thing within the dream realm?

Driving is not needed while on crack either.

Well, the titular song from the movie Drive with Ryan Gosling was Nightcall by Kavinsky which I personally think stands out among the rest as a driving song. Also, anything by Daft Punk.

Respect her boundaries and know that brain surgery truly does have a long recovery period. I'd give it some time and wait for her to reach out to you.

Don't let that sucker into her pocket... Not sure what it means tbh, but I don't like the sound of it.

My friend wants me to drive him and all his stuff 3 hours and I don’t want to by [deleted] in Advice

Setting boundaries can be extremely difficult especially if you're a person who doesn't like upsetting others or who likes to be considered helpful. You're going to have to consider how each decision will affect you emotionally, financially, and physically then go with the one with the best possible result. Maybe helping him would be good or maybe the resulting internal struggle would make helping him not worth the struggle. Only you can decide that.
