The fact that Microsoft Word has to be a subscription is upsetting. I already paid for it why do I have to pay again

I thought maybe a practical resource follow up on "how to find job" might help

Some illustrators find clients through illustration agencies and while I have no experience myself, I have heard good things. I advice looking into testimonials and experiences of artists in agencies as there are many of them, some may be expensive and ineffective and beware of scam agencies. Different agencies also have different vibes so agency that works for one artist doesn't necessarily fit another person. Just be sure to check their track record and do a bit research

Also here is an impressive, always updating spread sheet about animation/games jobs that is legit, run by Chris Mayne. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eR2oAXOuflr8CZeGoz3JTrsgNj3KuefbdXJOmNtjEVM/edit#gid=0

And if all social media feels kind of poison and you'd have to choose, I do think Linkedin works. It's what it's designed for anyway. It is corpo ghoul town so buckle up but it is possibly the most direct way to just look for work.

PSA: Don't use Open Office

I keep seeing people recommending Open Office as an alternative to Word, and uh... look, it is, technically, an open source alternative to Word. And it can do a lot of what Word can, genuinely! But it is also an abandoned project that hasn't been updated in nine years, and there's an active fork of it which is still receiving updates, and that fork is called LibreOffice, and it's fantastic.

Seriously, if you think that your choices are either "grit your teeth and pay Microsoft for a subscription" or "support free software but have a kind of subpar office suite experience", I guarantee that it's because you're working with outdated information, or outdated software. Most people I know who have used the latest version of LibreOffice prefer it to Word. I even know a handful of people who prefer it to Scrivener.

Open Office was the original project, and so it has the most name recognition, and as far as I can tell, that's really the only reason people are still recommending it. It's kind of like if people were saying "hey, the iPhone 14 isn't your only smart phone option!" but then were only ever recommending the Samsung Galaxy S5 as an alternative. LibreOffice is literally a version of the same exact program as Open Office that's just newer and better – please don't get locked into using a worse tool just because the updated version of the program has a different name!

Harm Happening Around the World

Please note that there are actually more humanity crisis situations happening about the world.

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.
