RE: Frittering Away
July/August would not be pleasant. I read the feels like hovers around 110 during the day in August. The food I had in Austin was incredible. They even have good BBQ at the airport. As good as the BBQ

RE: The Mute Swan, Beautiful and "Prohibited" in New York
I had no idea these swans were considered an invasive species! We have small numbers of them landing in the ponds in the wetlands around us during the spring migration. I think they have their babies elsewhere

You're welcome! I loved him and, still, he never fails to crack me up. : ) White shirts are the devil, or at least they are for me. I should carry those stain removing wipes with me at all times.

RE: How Much Are 1.8 Million Reads Worth?
You're telling me! It's absurd. Before I wrote this I was thinking of how much a Hive post could earn from 1.8M upvotes. Even if a majority of the accounts were smaller it would earn much more than $5.

Yes, that was in early March, I think. Thank you! It does have some scratches on it already from our trips. I've also started writing down every major city I travel to with the bag on the inside of the

Thank you! I remember the Bass and Co. brand. I think they made deck shoes too. 40+ years is a long history with something like that! I'm kind of the opposite in regard to my "stuff"—I try to

Thanks! For sure, that kind of choice—deciding what's worth it—is so subjective.

You're welcome. Ten years into freedom I sometimes get amnesia and forget how lucky I am. It doesn't take long for me to come to my senses again though.

I'm intrigued about the rest of her story! Sorry to hear she's so unhappy and confined to a wheelchair. Having money definitely solves some of life's problems and can easily create more/different problems

So happy that you've made this kind of life for yourself. When you've found a way to realize that kind of freedom you've won.

Oh yes, I miss the days of larger rewards too. I find that I keep coming back here, even through the slumps, for the engagement and camaraderie. I hope the community can find a way forward that encourages

It's really eye-opening, isn't it? They're estimated to have made about $120M last year according to some accounts. Small potatoes when compared to other social media platforms but it's still a lot. I

RE: How Much Are 1.8 Million Reads Worth?
You're welcome. Yes, I agree. The monopolization of attention is what it is. What's purely evil is making indie content creators pay to reach people who want to read them--X, Facebook, Medium. Quora isn't

I don't think it would be impossible if we had a cohesive roadmap. Onboarding could be made much more simple and a rebranding would probably be required.

Oh yes, 1.8 million upvotes in the golden days (2016/7) could have bought you a house. : )

Sponsorships are a huge part of the equation. I'm shocked by how much some people are making on X now. Some make their payouts public but that pool of creators who are thriving seems very small. The worst,
