I was thinking about you each day over the RNC! :( I love getting these updates -- you are truly so visual in your writing. We need to get our butts over to visit.
I feel you utterly on the paywall stuff. I can't bear to put almost anything of mine behind one, even though I sorely need money--same exact feelings you describe!!! Thank you for making your work available. I so love what you do, and when I am more able, I will gladly support it with actual dollars, and not only attention.
Ya- and it's confusing because Substack's advice for growing your income through writing is all about paywalls, even though all of the feedback I get about them (from myself and others) is negative. It feels like it comes out of a scarcity mindset- like people will only subscribe if you withhold! But I think we're all better and more capable of nuance than that.

Please come up! It's much nicer up here now :))

Abundance not lack. Give freely and joyfully and good will come back to you in surprising and meaningful ways.
