PATRONS

support us and get access to our ePub/print issues

YOU CAN DO THAT, really.

also support tiers increasing in new year 😿

but if you sign up this year NO INCREASE,

really.

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

Pay Christopher Johnson using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/ApolloMan and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

while I live tweet this I'm starting my Decemberween Big Ask: my roommate needs $5000, preferably before January 1, to get his drivers license released from an accident he had years ago . If 200 of you have $25 we can do this #MutualAid easy. paypal.me/ApolloMan or cashapp $BlackGodSyrus
