Readers, I want to thank you for reading this blog for over a decade. I started this blog in 2012. Originally it was a blog about being a father, but I realized the platform could be useful, and so I kept at it for twelve years.

I’ve covered topics from religion, to politics, to parenting, to literature, to the different ways to describe Tom Waits’s Voice.

In all this time, the blog, of course, has been free. And I intend it to stay that way.

And while I believe in free resources and I don’t like asking for money, I’d like to give readers an opportunity to support the work of this blog. Writing takes work. And when it comes to doing research, that work can sometimes take hours.

Not to mention that I’ve had work published outside this blog, and believe it or not, some journals don’t pay their contributors. But I try to provide links to them anyway.

So if you have found this blog enjoyable, useful, or even tolerable throughout the years—or maybe you just feel the urge to support another “starving artist” in this world— today you have the opportunity to give a little something to help support that work. At your discretion.

So if you feel so inclined, here are three venue options through which you can support a hard-working writer.
