It's a moment of sweet triumph when you see your name acknowledged on an exhibition text panel. 💪🏻
Too often #conservators and technicians are dismissed as behind-the-scenes, invisible, and irrelevant people, but without us it would often just be a curator with a hammer and a bunch of stuff in boxes. Thank you for remembering us! Especially us #freelancers. 🙏🏻
Just want to give a big shoutout to my #freelancers. The ones who've been in it for years. There's an element of exploitation that is often invisible to rest of the world. And the #freelancer often must deal with that alone. It's a weird and tough life sometimes.
Question for #freelancers: Discovered #mastodon last year, my first enjoyable #socialmedia. As a freelance artist, social platforms were in my business model but a drag until Mastodon. I had Instagram, checked it weekly, and can barely stand it. Mastodon aligns with my needs. Any similar experiences? Have you considered leaving mainstream social media, removing links from your websites? It got me thinking about the value of Instagram exposure. #FreelanceLife#socialmediashift
Paying your #freelancers on time is not only the right thing to do, it's the best thing for your business.
Freelancers sell their time so they prioritize what gets done based on who pays first.
If you work in a corporate office speak up— in meetings, retreats, email, water coolers. Accounting depts shouldn't have free rein to inflict financial pain on freelancers.
If you need it in Q4, then pay in Q4. Need it this week, then pay this week. I can't think of a more reasonable request.

"I hate talking about money" a blog post (and true story) about talking about money for #freelancers. https://lnkd.in/diKETtpy pic shows me in My previous incarnation as an electrician with my lorry on the set of a Bond movie in Spain. #freelance
One thing that I think tools like this should consider doing is figuring out ways to make it a one-stop shop for #freelancers. I could see a tool like this pulling from relations, connecting to Stripe, and spitting out a PDF invoice that looks good.
Freelancers get bogged down by this stuff, and all the FOSS options are insanely complicated. (Not to pick on them, but Invoice Ninja is a mess.) Lotta potential there to simplify.

If you need some #PHP development help, I can happily recommend Laura Tyler - @lauratyler - who has done lots of excellent freelance work for me in #Laravel and custom PHP, and can handle much more in programming as well. She's got a little availability every week and you'd be wise to hire her
A few years ago I gathered data on tabletop roleplaying game industry freelancer rates. I'm doing that again with this anonymous survey. The results will be published publicly. The idea is that freelancers will be able to compare their rates with the rest of the industry when deciding what to charge.
