I am pleased to announce that Thing of Things now has a paid subscription option!
The vast majority of my posts are and will always be free (I like attention too much). However, I intend to paywall posts about the culture war, social justice, sex, or things I will regret writing, as well as any posts which mention my kid or parenting experiences. According to Substack, I’m supposed to tell you how many posts you’re going to get, but let’s be real here it depends on how annoying people are on the Internet.
Subscribers will also get access to occasional AMAs and threads where they can suggest things for me to write about.
If I get sick or depressed and don’t post anything for a while, I’ll pause the subscriptions.
A subscription costs $5/month or $50/year. You can also give me more money if you want to. If someone gives me more money, I will have my four-year-old write/draw/dictate (as the whim takes him) a thank-you note, which I will then take a picture of and post for everyone (including free subscribers) to see. Disclaimer: he doesn’t understand thank-you notes, Substack, or indeed the concept of money.
