Every act of support for an artist is a vote for their concept of the world.
When you stream music, hire a photographer, share a writer's essay, buy a print — you are actively funding a worldview. If their work is mean-spirited and divisive, you're voting for a meaner, more divided world. If their work is nuanced, community-minded, and emotionally honest, you're voting for more of that. The artists who get our attention and our dollars shape the culture we all live in. So you gotta ask yourself...
Haven't we voted for Kanye enough?

IF YOU JUST WANT TO DONATE
A couple of bucks a month from a bunch of different people can do wonders in keeping the lights on and keeping the independent work going. I don't believe in paywalls and the work comes out when it's good and ready.
Or become a paid Substack member. Long-form writing, personal essays, dispatches.
