@hosford42 @meltedcheese The advice was specific to my (admittedly rambling "illogical" ordered) blog post draft.
But to summarise:
Opening salvo: "This is how your life is impacted by this thing. This is why I'm writing about it. This is how other people taught it to you. These are the misconceptions people have about it. Indirectly-related 'interesting' / 'quirky' anecdote to keep you invested in reading."
Main body: "This is why you need to know about this topic. This is why you need to finish reading most of this in order to take value from my writing. This is how you can explain it to other people. This is how you can avoid misconceptions."
Wait, in writing this, I'm noticing how goddamn cyclical this shit is. They want bedtime stories, ffs!
Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Week of Jan 18:
Progress: $70/$340 (food/gas)
I just wanted to add: Thank you, to the community, for keeping us fed in this difficult time.
If you happen to have paid odd jobs that can be done remotely, I'd be happy to take them on. Please DM me with details. I'm skilled with automation and machine learning.

Our phone and internet will be cut off in 2 days (1/11). We still need $626 to pay that. (It's multiple months.) Without it, I won't be able to job hunt or ask for help feeding my children. This is terrifying.
Please boost this post, and the one it's in reply to. You can unboost the original post, and then it will let you boost again.

Apparently my wifi hot spot is *not* the solution I'd hoped it would be, for not having to pay for internet. I have run out of usage and it has throttled back so hard that I can't even get to the internet speed test page. I was able to load the Google landing page after some time, at least.
This means that I can't apply for jobs, much less attend any sort of interview that requires a live coding session to prove my skills, until my hot spot usage renews. But I'm two months behind on my internet payments, so I owe $131.90 to get it turned back on.
I don't want to ask for this because it's not necessary to survive and I already am completely dependent on the community. At the same time, this is my ticket to being able to support myself instead of asking for handouts. So here I am. Can anybody help me out with this?

Furious that European forces have arrived in Greenland, Donald Trump now adds another 10 percent tariff on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland, and threatens to raise it to 25 percent by June.
That is a 25 percent increase to all Americans dependant on European medicine.
He is steering directly towards a total trade war. Follow the US stock market closely, because this can go completely haywire.

Massive, unprecedented payouts with few strings attached could signal that big banks are seriously short on cash.britney (Truthout)
Remember that after the 2016 USA election, Germany and Denmark requested that their gold be sent back home from the NY Reserve.
They were told to wait... 🤦
They also asked that they be "allowed" to inspect their gold reserves, but had been getting refusals...

“And, gloriously, the judge read it out in court,” Dr. Christie added. “So my recommendations went from the judge’s mouth” straight to the A.N.C.
Two years later, in December 1982, Koeberg was bombed by white A.N.C. operatives who had gotten jobs at the facility. They followed Dr. Christie’s instructions to the letter.
The guy who actually planted the bombs, and then escaped to Swaziland by bike.

In 1982, Rodney Wilkinson planted four bombs inside the Koeberg nuclear power station in Cape Town and rode to safety on a bicycle.Rebecca Davis (Daily Maverick)
Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”
