Yes, I'm increasingly finding that better self-care is a foundation stone for getting treated well by others.

- understanding and enforcing boundaries
- valuing your own time and energy
- learning how to spot and avoid abusive situations
- knowing your rights

.. help everyone negotiate from a position of strength, especially freelancers.

I've followed the a-n campaign for #PayingArtists and written about funding issues on my blog.

In the last 10 years pay has stagnated, partly due to cuts to arts grants and related funding.

IMO, the basic issue is that artists are freelancers/small businesses. They need stronger negotiation tools and legal support.

I could write more for you but you'll need to commission me first!

About #spotifywrapped… I ditched my account a couple years ago because I believe in #payingartists, but #BenFrost of #EtherMachines did a great roundup of reasons on his #instagram this week and here it is if you want to know.

And it’s #BandcampFriday today if you’d like 100% of your purchase to go to the artist.
