Social media sucks. Sign up here, and I'll send you my articles over email and you'll never have to go on Facebook again.

I respect your privacy. No one will see your email but me, and I'll use it only for this listserv.

Thank you!

A quick promise

I hate advertising with the fury of a thousand suns, but I do want to get paid to do this. Right now, there are Amazon Affiliate links in my articles to kinda get that ball rolling. I will (eventually) be putting up a Patreon and PayPal account on here and selling eBooks and, I dunno, merch, I guess? to try and get away from ads entirely.

Ads compromise good media, so if you like what I’m doing, I’d really appreciate your support. I will try my hardest not to suck.
