50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (July 10, 2023)
A few days ago my daughter found two baby birds on the ground outside the front door. One was dead, the other was only just alive as it squirmed about on twisted, broken legs. We gave it a torn-tissue bed and fed it water through a pipette, and within 30 minutes it had revived. It fluttered its fluffy wings, cheeped for attention, and tried to stand, though its legs would not comply. The cheeping brought the mother, who flew for the full day back and forth with grubs and bugs, poking them into the makeshift nest, trying to feed the struggling chick. We left them alone, and hoped nature would provide a fighting chance. But the next day the mother did not return, though the chick was still fluttering and cheeping, and by noon the small ball of fluff that my daughter had named Feathers was dead. We gave her back to the Earth, among the grubs she refused to eat herself, and the cycle rolls on.

HELLO! i thought it would be cool to experiment with how people are paid when they write for my newsletter. i'm introducing a pilot revenue sharing program that i think will 1) give writers more money and 2) help figure out what the best model is for freelancing moving forward.
