Journalism coops give me â and most of the journalists I know â a lot of hope for the industry. But I've been curious: What's it like to actually work at one? I spent the last few months talking to a bunch of brilliant worker-owners to find out.

Journalism coops seem utopian. Whatâs it like working in one?

For Bustle, I interviewed five women about the cost of their mental healthcare, which included exposure therapy, ketamine therapy, acupuncture, somatic therapy and more. It turns out it's pretty expensive to take care of your brain!

I think one thing we shouldn't forget about that one rapper lady is for several years--perhaps even more than a decade--if you said anything critical about her online, her fans would issue death and r*pe threats. One content creator even had her fans threaten the safety of her young nephew.

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon. A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly â without paying massive fundraising platform fees â through her website:
