I always assumed my stutter would go away on its own when I grew up, but here we are and I still struggle ordering my food. The older I get the more I realize how debilitating my stutter is. I think it unfortunately taught me that there’s something inherently wrong with me and that I’ll never receive the respect I give other people. I also feel that my stutter has stolen my personality. I’m naturally curious about other people and want to engage in conversations but I avoid doing so to protect myself from judgement. Lately my stutter has been significantly worse since I just moved and am looking for new jobs. I felt like I had somewhat of a handle on it but now it’s rogue and I have no control. My dad was just telling me I need to figure out a way to deal with it and he mentioned that it’s difficult for interviewers to handle it and that really bothered me and I felt it was insensitive but in a way he’s right and I just feel so defeated. I’m sure many of you relate and I truly hope stuttering becomes better understood in my lifetime.

I just moved to a city outside Boston and I’m eager to start dashing but I’m so worried about not finding parking! I could park inconveniently on the street but that sounds awful. Does anyone with experience dashing in cities have any tips or advice on how I can best plan for this? I thought abt making a sign that says something like “DoorDash delivery in progress” so nobody tickets me or anything but I’m worried

I last dashed back in January and I’ve been doing it again this past week and I’ve been seeing a lot more orders for $2.50 than I did back then. Or just orders with such shitty tips… like gas prices rn are through the roof I can’t accept all these fuckass orders! It’s bringing my acceptance rating down too, soon it’s gonna be below 50% 👺

I was just asked what my day rate is and I don’t know how much I should say. I’ve PA’d on two films in the past few months that were unpaid and other than that I’ve just done student films. What is a good starting rate?
