Some matters are
non-negotiable.
The conditions under which this journal is written.
No paid advertisements. Ever.
No sponsored posts. No paid placements. This is a core tenet of Jimmy Jimmer's blog. My parents are already the patrons.
There are no affiliate commissions on creator links. A recommendation is an editorial decision.
People before publication.
Any creator featured in an account will have given permission. Enthusiasm for the subject does not excuse poor manners.
Private exchanges and images remain private unless their use has been agreed. A subscription is not an editorial licence.
Credit where it is due.
Each account identifies its featured creator and links to the profile they have approved. Images carry their own credits.
The person on the other side of the screen is a person. This is a useful fact to keep in mind.
The work takes the time it takes.
Long-form writing, careful observation, and the occasional walk outside. Dispatches appear when they are ready.
