🎁 Shape my future

Whether you're a member or not, one-time payments help me immensely. The process is simple — no need for any account. I set the default amount to €10, but you can easily change it to whichever suits you best. (This is currently the only way to support me financially.)

Where does the money go?

All payments go through Stripe, my secure payment service provider. This means there are no non-essential middlemen involved. Apart from Stripe's standard transaction fees, the rest of the money (almost 100%) goes directly to me.

I separate the income into three categories:

☕

Coffee fund. I use a humble portion of the money when I need a break from the monotony of writing from home. It covers a cup of Americano and an (occasional) éclair.

🛠️

Operating costs. These are subscriptions that my site and all its parts require to operate year-round — things like domain provider, email service, website builder, newsletter hosting, software suits …

🐷

Savings. The rest of the funds go into two special vaults, one reserved for future creative endeavours related to my website and the other kept as a locked retirement account.

Oh! And your contribution has other effects too:

Support independent creation

As someone who grew up in a frugal household, I've developed a somewhat strict relationship with money in the sense that I don't like to spend it unless it serves a clear and meaningful purpose. For this reason, I feel confident that all the funds that arrive via the button below are being put to well-defined uses. (Terms apply.)

🔗 Spread the word

Financial support not viable? I completely understand. You can still help by forwarding my work — essays, newsletters, homepage — to a friend or foe.

💬 Start a dialogue

Writing is a solitary pursuit, and a bit of feedback now and then serves as a welcome reminder that I'm not typing into a void. So, feel free to drop into my inbox with questions, feedback, random thoughts — whatever gets you typing.

Thank you.
