I have paying work for a graphic designer with experience in web design and corporate identity (logos, letterhead, marketing collateral, etc.).

Don't worry about having to code on the web design front—that's my job. I just need someone who can work with a coder. I'm in the US, so it's probably best if you're in North America too. But I'm open to working with people elsewhere.

Figured I would throw this out to the fediverse to see if any of you out there do this kind of work. If you do, send me your contact information and portfolio by DM, or by email to info@roguerepairman.com.

Boosts welcome :boost_requested:

When I visit my old neighborhood, I’m required to eat at the Pershing Food Mart. It’s one of the best Puerto Rican restaurants that just so happens to have a gas station.

One day I’ll write about these things. I want to write about my experiences growing up in Orlando. One day. For now, I’ll share my lunch.

Ten years ago movie studios were like "no women superhero movies can work because we tried them with tiny budgets and bad stories and no one wanted to pay to see them"
That's been the DNC with their candidates.

I did not close all my tabs but does anyone know how to get Linux to stop waking up when the lid is closed on my Macbook? It should be straightforward, if no external monitor is connected, don't wake up until I open the lid, but I haven't found a way to make that work.

I have a lot of writer friends, good writers who I admire. But, I'm always horrified to learn what they use to write. lol

Ultimately, writing is the most important part of writing. Like with any craft, it's easy to get caught up in the tools.

But when a friend tells me he writes essays *in* the Wordpress editor, or in an email draft, I want to scream IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS LEARN MARKDOWN AND GET A PROPER WORD PROCESSOR 😭😭😭

What? This is apparently from the Paul Ford NYTimes article I haven’t read (paywalled, also not a fan) but is this really the going price for a personal website these days?
