I'm turning 25 this year. I have a completely useless master's degree in the arts (writing) and now I need to find a job.

My STEM GF says that programming jobs are in high demand and that I should do that.

I've started teaching myself HTML/CSS on CodeAcademy (is that a good site?) and I'm planning on learning Python next.

Is it possible for me to get a job that pays reasonably well without a degree? What languages should I be learning? What are the easiest coding jobs to get with zero experience (I assume I'll have to do some unpaid stuff)?

already did.

no one wants to buy it

If you know how to code a bit try becoming a tech writer. They're the people who write/improve documentation. Every dev loves a tech writer who understands programming, even a little bit.

Write a good one
In any case, programming isn't the magical moneymaking trick people make it out to be.

Tuning in to this thread, I have the same predicaments as OP but no gf and I have to fund my anime figures.

I keep getting mixed messages. All the jobs in my area need a software engineering degree, but then I hear stories of people who just put "lol I know javascript" in their resume and were hired for something.

I just want to get any IT job within a year or 2, I wouldn't care if I were paid minimum wage, anything is better than selling weed, petty theft, dumpster diving, browsing junkyards for things that might sell and scrubbing toilets part-time.
