A giant thank you.

Paid subscribers will make this sustainable after 5/23!

This is just to say a very heartfelt thank you to all the subscribers of The Grudge Report.

I was extremely lucky to be paid by Substack directly for the first year to see if this was something that people enjoyed. And over 10,000 (!!) people subscribed for free, which is great. I appreciate anyone who reads what I write. I hope you liked it!

A few hundred people are paying subscribers. I’ve listed them (by first name!) below.

After May when my initial contract is over, The Grudge Report will be $5 a month for a year’s subscription. That is roughly the price of five one-dollar bills.

If you feel like upgrading your subscription so you keep reading this after May, here is the link:

I am so, so grateful for all of you who have subscribed even though I’ve given so much away for free this year, and when I read through the email spreadsheet I was FLATTERED to see how many people whose writing I love and admire are supporters of mine. You have bought my children fancy little alpaca sweaters. Consider joining the following excellent patrons of this newsletter:
