Asking for funding is a wildly uncomfortable experience but we gotta do it: this newsletter is reader-funded, and I've got some goals I need your help to accomplish. This month, I'm hoping to reach 50 paid subs to the newsletter.

If I reach 1000 by end of 2026, I'll fly to you and fight your boss👊
Wanna help me reach my goal? [September Subscription Drive]
This month, I’m working alongside over 30 other indie creators to make their own work sustainable through reader funding. Will you help me reach my goal?
