I really wish I could afford to subscribe to all the things. Already spending 40 a month on various patreons and I had to trim that back last year. If you have disposable income, please dispose some of it here for me since I cannot right now
I sat down to do my taxes yesterday for the first time as a #smallbusinessowner, and like any good writer, I instead wrote a blog post
It's what I've learned about subscription models over the past five months and a bit about the numbers of this newsletter.

This will be a long rant, so bear with us.
Our goals have always been to provided the best coverage of the conference, and to do that, it's important to us that our writers get paid. We can't stress enough that these are interconnected.

Ok, clearly there's an appetite for a distraction today, maybe I can get one started: what's your favorite sports tradition that does not involve one of your own teams?

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

It's 1990something and all my clothes come from the goodwill and it looks like it. I get made fun of at recess for being poor.
It's 1990something or another. I am wearing a Cliff Keen dazzle fabric white home Michigan #1 hockey jersey, a pair of khaki shorts, white socks, and white Nikes.
It is not fundamentally that different from 20XX.

It is 1990 something or another. I am wearing a backwards baseball cap, an oversize t shirt, and fuzzy shorts which appear to be made out of neon green craft fur. It is 95 degrees outside and the ball sweat smell is unimaginable.

My great grandpa was supposedly fleeing the Mafia in Calabria. My dad's side I dunno, it was turn of the century Poland, I assume they were just broke as fuck

A friend of mine (my age) lives in a condo complex that's mostly seniors. They actually had a vote awhile back about turning it into a 55+ place. The vote failed, but the consensus of our friend group at the time was "oh yeah Meg goes to bed at like 8pm she'll fit right in with the old people"
It's wrong that they won't let me live in a 55+ community simply due to my age. They should let you in if you match the "general vibe"

there is a part of me that genuinely believes that the standard of ads has gotten intentionally worse over the last 15 or so years in order to twist people's arms into buying premium ad free subscriptions.
Like if you see the shit that gets advertised on youtube, you want to pay to make it stop
