🍫🍫🍫THE CHOCOLATE CRISIS — an UPDATED thread🆕🆕🆕:

Hate calling stuff out on here, it's so not me, but with my emails now being ignored, I dunno what else to do. I invoiced Rolling Stone UK in early Dec for an interview I did with Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant. It's now nearly April and still no payment rollingstone.co.uk/tv/features/th…

Exclusive from my colleague Ellesheva Kissin

FTX is on track to repay out-of-pocket customers up to 140% more than the original value of their claims, ironically thanks to the soaring value of crypto.

This is dreadful. Freelance journalists are the poor cousins of an industry that already pays terrible rates to its most precious human resource.

Freelancers are seen as cheap labour to many news outfits. Lots of things for our industry to fix - but this is right up there.

Worthy of a push alert? Actually, if folks are being deprived off their breakfast pasty, then yes!

Some blue skies finally seen at London’s St. Patrick’s Day Festival. Best turnout in many a year ☘️
