Just heard of the website Beamly while watching a Substack Live. Does anyone use it? What are your thoughts? Beamly looks really nice. I thought Podpage was the only podcast website
I unscrewed the faceplate, but I can't get the cover to come off at all at the bottom left; the top won't budge. Any ideas? I'm scared I'm going to break it
Hate this 😩 I've had surgery too maybe again not sure if i need to strength train or what but the smooth out is needed 😢
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on handling social media as a photographer and filmmaker whose process doesn't naturally fit the "daily content" grind.
A lot of my work involves building physical sets, hosting a massive shoot day (sometimes with lots of people/models/bugs/props), and then immediately tearing everything down. I might spend weeks preparing for a single day of shooting.
I find myself completely stuck when it comes to social media. I feel like painters and traditional artists have it easier here—they can show the blank canvas, the sketch, the underpainting, and the final piece, creating weeks of content from one project.
With my photography and film work, I can capture behind-the-scenes (BTS) footage on the actual day of the shoot, but that only gives me content for one day—not enough to fill 5 to 30 days of a social media schedule while I work on the next project.
For those of you who do set-heavy photography, editorial work, or filmmaking:
What else are you posting during the days or weeks when you are just planning, sourcing, or building?
How do you stretch a single, short shoot into multiple pieces of content without it feeling repetitive?
Would love to hear how you handle the "process" side of video/photo content. Thanks!

How do you market yourself when you're both a small business owner and looking for a full-time job?
I have a side hustle I'd like to grow, but I'm also actively searching for full-time work. I don't want potential clients to think I'm unavailable, and I don't want employers to think I'm not serious about working for them.
Has anyone successfully positioned themselves to attract both? How did you talk about yourself online?
If we all dislike the show and mock the writing, how does Lena, the creator, become so popular, given that everyone seems to make fun of the show?
What industry newsletters or podcasts are you reading and watching?
I read an article about blogging vs Substack and that you should post your Substack post to your blog. It made me wonder if you blog, and if so, do to u call it a blog? I want to have a blog on my site, but I'm not sure I want to call it a blog. Maybe call it a journal? What do you do?

I’m really proud of myself for decluttering my food storage! Now I have a bunch of plastic containers without matching lids (and vice versa). What do you usually do with these? I’d like to recycle them, but I found that TerraCycle charges $50 for a recycling bag, which is a lot! Do you have any suggestions for what I should do? I really don’t want to keep them around. I’m working hard to clear out my space.

My partner is Ghanaian, and I'm black American—Curious what Ghanaian men expect from their women. My American women we are pretty independent so i want a place to understand. Maybe we need a dating and marriage subreddit
Hey, y'all, can you help? I think Ben mentioned he has a food blog. I would love to check it out. Does anyone know what it is? I thought it would be in the episode shownotes, but it wasn’t
Thanks for your help
I'm overwhelmed and not making time to plan my meals. Most days I'm eating pizza, Chick-fil-A, wings, or sometimes skipping meals altogether. Vegetables barely make an appearance. When I do try to make a healthier choice, it's usually a Smoothie King smoothie.
I'm stuck in a loop and I need to break out of it.
I hate tracking my food, but I honestly think it might help me become more aware of what I'm actually eating and where I can make better choices. Right now, I feel like I'm running on convenience instead of intention, and it's catching up with me.
The goal isn't perfection. The goal is getting out of this cycle and building a way of eating that actually supports the life I want
If a gallery represents you, would you share what it's like to work with them? I feel that's the ultimate artist's goal to be with a gallery or two, and I'm wondering if it's all it's cracked up to be
A lot of these podcast conferences are all men. Is that all this industry is? Where is the diversity? Where does one find it? Just to hear more experiences and perspectives
Do you have gallery representation? What's that like?
The film's obsession and the art director who worked for no money had me wondering why no one called the job in. Or did they? Do you call in non-union jobs? Many fear they will be found out of not being cool if they do. What say ye
