before you go
i recently reopened paid subscriptions. while the pool will always be 100% free, i’m frankly in a place where i could use any additional income i can get right now. if you’d prefer not to ferry your money through substack (i get it), you can also set up a recurring donation on ko-fi or send me a tip (scroll to the bottom for payment links).
