When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemon Meringue Pie

And if you don't want to eat all that pie, learn to sell it.Gig work gets decried as evil by a lot of people, but it was my salvation when I was homeless and sick and regular employment was simply not feasible for me. That was just a non-starter.But I have struggled to get the word out. I routinely am met with an avalanche of hatred, open hostility and ugly criticisms. I am trying to carve out a space to celebrate living well in the Butterfly Economy.I think we are seeing a new economy emerging in the world, one that is information-dense and which can help us live lighter on the land while having a high quality of life so that having nearly 8 billion people on planet earth doesn't have to be a disaster. We can adapt. I think we are adapting. I think if we focus on the right things, we can move things along faster and more efficiently.But I think I can't make this sub work as just a space to talk about finding gig work. I think there is a whole mindset and lifestyle that go along with looking for what I think of as "irregular employment" to fit around your needs, whether you have health issues or are a parent or that nine-to-five schtick just isn't your bag.This my small candle in the dark. (Sorry about my tendency to swear. My life has been dark a long time and old habits are hard to break.)Please see the previous Welcome message for a list of potentially useful resources if you are looking to find gig work or similar. via /r/GigWorks https://ift.tt/346qNSc
