Hello dear reader,
I started this Substack five and a half years ago. Over time, this page has become my truest expression, the work that I hold closest to my heart. It’s become a form of sustenance—not just creatively, but spiritually, as well as a place I can share my politics, creative ideas, secrets and my most recent writing.
In the last five years, I’ve also gained a readership of almost 25,000 readers. Thank you, you reading my work truly keeps me going ❤️🔥🧿
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know that my life lately has been...chaotic. But, I know it’s not an isolated experience, we’re all navigating precarious times. Fascists internationally are stripping resources from the very people and communities who make… society! This has directly impacted me in a multitude of ways. In enduring years-long shadowbanning, blacklisting, and silencing tactics, I’m trying to understand what my service is to this revolution. I’ve been underground, processing, thinking and metabolizing. All of my thoughts first go here, into this newsletter, so I am extremely thankful to have this space.
Primarily, this is a note to say that I will be having a sale of my annual membership.
I’ll be offering a 20% subscription sale on my annual pricing through June 30: so it will be $5/month or $40/year). I will try to do these sales at least once a year to make my writing accessible. Then, after a lot of thought, I’ve decided to raise the prices for the subscriptions. From July 1st, it will be $7/ $70 a year.
Many of you are new readers, hello! I welcome you to my place of creative and intellectual sanctuary, and I humbly ask for your support. I promise you, there is a lot here. Stored in these pages are my most impassioned and intimate writings, stockpiled into the archives I’ve built over five years. Reading and supporting a writer is the greatest support you can show them, so I ask for your generosity in a way that will sustain my writing and help me move through my current financial precarity. Thousands of you read this newsletter every single time I publish something, so it would be very meaningful to me if you could support me in a way that will directly help me. I understand not all of us can do so financially, so please engage with the essays or share them. Buy my books. However you can help me, I am grateful.
I hope this message reaches you, dear Reader, in good faith. I always write with humility, transparency, and care because it’s you who gives my work meaning. We come here together for truth, for beauty, for resistance, for community. Words are the foundation of our world, the histories we share, the stories we tell... how we understand each other better through the reflections others reveal; we are made and remade through writing. In sharing my writing with you, again and again, I’m forever reminded that it is you who sustains me. Thank you, always. For your support, for your love, for your trust in my work. I am endlessly grateful.
