Some 'stack authors have a "buy me a coffee" option - (they spell it "Kofi," not "coffee") in addition to the yearly or monthly subscription options. If I weren't in financial straits, I'd definitely buy a monthly subscription to your 'stack, but I honestly can't afford to do so these days. It'd be great to be able to give you a one-time donation, at any time, ideally often, in lieu of purchasing an ongoing subscription.
A huge thanks for keeping all of the reading content free, as well as the ability to post! Your subscription fees are very fair, and I hope to be able to subscribe with my next paycheck. However, I am blessed to have a paycheck coming in, but a lot of each one seems to go to the D.C. crowd so they can "give it as Ukraine Aid", then have it flow back into their pockets. Too bad we can't choose what our tax dollars are spent on. But I digress.
All of that being said, a one time donation option would be nice too.
A very deep thank you to you, Spartacus. I have paid for so many subscriptions the last year…. I can’t afford to continue and there are so many good ones too. But I needed the info available to educate myself. So to you, Spartacus, a kind, ethical, caring person(s)- THANK YOU. You’ll never know how much we appreciate you. May good health be yours for many years to come. Mel.
I appreciate you offering your insights without a paywall. I, also, believe in the gift economy and offer all my content gratis. But I agree with whoever wrote that having a donation option is a great middle ground. You offer your gifts and can be gifted something in return by whoever can afford it at the time. Cheers!
Very grateful for the Substack and especially book recs on the previous post. I’ll definitely be checking those out, and will continue to follow your posts. This Substack has been a motherlode of incisive analysis.
Not sure about this “nonewnormal” guy though. From his Stack, “Imagine a world where a brotherhood of man is unified by the shared belief that people should be free on all terms.” I’m hearing John Lennon in one ear, and in the other, “We hold these truths to be self-evident ...”
It does not take a whole lot of thinking to see that this mindset is what got us into this mess in the first place. Transhumanism is the logical endpoint of the Enlightenment.*
This has the fewest comments and no discussion to interrupt to leave a message. Adore the Biotech Mafia map & super happy to spot less popular nodes.. these folks are more incestuous than the royals when you start to wire the orbits of these wankers everyone is in bed w the same crews.. that said the campfire wiki has an assortment of players w good reference/document links that may help.. also hunting dirtbags is my favorite sport so if there's a rabbit hole you want help searching let me know.. it may even be in dusty archives waiting for rediscovery.. thanks for digging mate! :~)
I’ve thought how handy it would be if it were possible to sign up for X number of substack articles/month. I love SO MANY of them, but don’t have time to read “all” of their work on a daily basis—much less, pay for all the stacks.
Thank YOU for making your available. I don’t knock any of the writers who need/want to be reimbursed for their efforts, I just can’t afford to feed my voracious appetite!
Thank you, Spartacus.

Good for you. Thanks.
Thank you. I envy fish for their wealth. Getting by on $24,000 a year for two souls in urban USA ain't so easy.

Thank you, Sir. Time for us all to be more Spartacus.
