Hello, new paid subscribers to this newsletter!
Oh my good lord. There are so many of you. I keep reading over your names on the paid alert emails. I have Googled many of you. Hi hi hi. Welcome. I am unbelievably grateful you are here.
This latest influx came at a time when I was thinking of jumping ship to other projects that would pay significantly more for my writing.
I am putting some of my most personal writing behind a paywall because I am trying to carve out a place on the internet where people who are fully invested in this project can hear a more unvarnished version of what I have to say on public-facing social media.
Also, after a long strike, I am feeling better about assigning value of my work. And after a year-and-a-half of doing this, I think I am worth six dollars.
If you agree, you can join the new legions of people who are finding community with me in this place on the godforsaken internet.
Thank you and I will continue to write for you as long as you are here with me for this.
Love (oh good lord who am I?),
Bess
