I run a free newsletter called Caferati Listings, which shares writing jobs, assignments, calls for entries and submissions and the like; basically, opportunities for writers. It has just over 1600 subscribers.
After a good run, I kind of stopped sending it for five years, but restarted it earlier this year. You can see the archives at http://groups.google.com/group/Caferati-Listings
If you have opportunities for writers you'd like to share, tell me.
(Boosts much appreciated. Thank you.)

It is important to understand that Bolivia was experiencing “remarkable Socialist success” under President Morales. This is an attack on a country that has turned its economy around under an Indigenous leader; lifting people out of poverty.

d. Imagining that most of the new waves of users consolidate on one instance, do you just plan to keep scaling up human moderation
@Mastodon
I have a few doubts which I know you may not have answers for, but I'd be interested to see how (if at all) you are thinking about it
1. Gab created it's own instance which was why you were able to blacklist them. What happens if trolls infiltrate Mastodonsocial enmasse
a. How would paid toots' content play out
b. What fact checking tools are available
c. Since usernames aren't unique across instances how do we deal with new ways of phishing

Now imagine how far they'd go to undermine elected left-wing governments in countries that DON'T have the "special relationship" the UK does with us.
Sanctions. Assassinations. Coups. Invasions.
They all can be done and they all have been done and some are happening now. https://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1193237083374149633

@VishnuNDTV@twitter.com I have one of my best friend who is right leaning and hates @ndtv@twitter.com to the core but admitted during #Abhinandan episode that he watched the whole thing on NDTV for information purely to cut noise on other TV channels. Slowly but steadily things are changing. Still miles to go. :-)

#AyodhyaVerdit won't satiate Savarna-Bamans hunger for violence. They will bring up communal issues every now and then to strengthen this Brahmin empire. Kashi, Mathura, Agra and many more places are already lined up to stoke controversy #RamMandir #AyodhyaJudgment #Ayodhya

This is why this is a strange judgment. Other than a nod to the "illegality" of the demolition, this seems to generate incentives for Hindus to take down mosques and resettle. That can't be good -- no matter what you believe in. https://twitter.com/Roshanjnu/status/1193044947621933057

#AyodhyaVerdict | Referring to the #BabriMasjid, the RSS ideologue Bhaurao Deoras told @saeed_naqvijour in 1990, "No Muslim goes to say his namaz there. All things around the mosque are connected with Hindu sentiments."

NDTV decisions on our coverage today of the #AyodhyaVerdict. Facts and only facts. No interpretation & speculation. No rabid voices to ‘ represent’ all sides. Focus on sanity & maintaining calm.This is what we believe our role as a news channel must be & will try our best to do
