Thank you SO much for affirming me! I love this work and it is my legacy work to guide us all (myself included) to liberated practices and build sustainable communities. Thank you for your consistent support
Excellent decision. It's a personal funny coincidence for me that just yesterday I happily went out of my way to go from being a free subscriber to a paid subscriber (I finally had funds for it). As a disabled single/solo mom living check to check, I often felt so guilty for continuing to be "free" when your work is so deep and valuable. The ppl with less money are often more willing to pay (when able) because they have experienced exploitation and do not want to be the source of the exploitation of another. In my personal experiences, because many ppl with the most money are unable to relate to financial struggle or exploitation, they might often be the last ones willing to pay for someone else's labor.
You absolutely NAILED IT! Thank you for paid subscription as well. That is the issue when you have experienced being marginalized you don’t want to do that to another, and I don’t like feeling as if I’m exploiting working class folks.
I think the balance is in providing the subscription scholarship if they say they need it. So next year if that’s you I will happily offer that.
I want to always remain accessible and still pay my bills
I will continue to support you and the work you do in any way possible. Your education is life altering and I can never thank you enough for the impact it’s made on my life. ❤️❤️
I support you 100% in moving to a subscription model. We all deserve to be paid for our hard work. You are no exception! Your work is outstanding!
