Hey, a lot of us here are a bit precarious and don't sign up for regular subs but do like to give one -off tips when we can. How about also adding a Buy Me A Coffee or Ko-Fi button?
Hey Caroline! I hear you, I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure how to add that particular button but I'l add it to my to-do list. Until then, there's a link in my bio. 😊
if yall need help. Once upon a time I was a software engineer. I'm on disability rn but can still finagle a little magic, I think. Lmk. Gratis for wims.
A few months ago when things were kinda crappy at mine and I was cutting the nice but not essential things out of my life that cost money, the subscription to your writing never came up in my mind. I'm privileged enough that I can afford it and it's really not that big amount. And frankly, I'm just glad I'm able to help you with this, not because I want to be the saviour but because ffs why is it so hard for other people to help others?! (I know, that sentence ended weirdly.)
The point is, when the thought that nobody would pay for your writing comes, then I'm here. I would pay a shit ton more if I could afford because your writing is good and important. (Also, I wish I had the fraction of your creativity.)
I'm beyond grateful to have people like you in my life who remind me (over and over again when I forget) that I am worth a damn. Thank you for that. ❤️
I'm glad you're doing subscriptions. Your writing and your insights and lived experience about poverty and social justice are MORE than worth the cost of a monthly subscription. And I'd totally upgrade, if I could. Alas, I'm living on SSDI and couldn't pay my rent this month. If you do end up finding someone willing to gift a subscription to someone who can't afford one, I would love to be one of the giftees.
What a generous comment, thank you! I receive that with gratitude. I'm a work in progress when it comes to acknowledging my worth. And I may have a gifter for you, I'll touch base when I hear back from them.
I just wrote about how much I've cried this month and this added to it - I appreciate your words more than I can say, Shelley. I’m grateful you’re part of the community. Thank you for seeing me and investing in my wellness as a human. (And always grateful for hugs)

As the Germans says when someone says something nonsense: Quatsch! Of course you are worth a damn, and way more than that.
