I’ve had mine so long I have founders pricing, I’m not sure I’d be as inclined to use it if I didn’t. But I tend to use mine more like a tip jar. I don’t like being obligated to fulfill “rewards” I think it’s antithetical to the artist/patron relationship.

I’m so mentally exhausted now and I’m still not 💯 sure where I’m going and I haven’t even started the move over yet. I’m fighting my brain’s wild urge to abandon newsletters entirely and just hire a kid to stand on a street corner and yell all my updates.

That’s it, in switching from substack I’m losing the subs I got through the platform, which weren’t a ton, but I suspect that was more due to me not using it very much. At least Patreon has a little more of that going on. This is why I put it off tho, I’ve been reading and comparing all day!

I was confusing it with another one, I think it was the language that was l confusing, when I went to actually sign up, it kept talking about a free trial, and I was like, wait, is it a free tier, or a free trial?! Make up your mind!! And then I panicked and got distracted by something else 😂

My inbox needs to stay zeroed out, for my sanity, but I was hitting over 100 unread emails and I just couldn’t keep up! Then I figured out at least one person I subbed to was sending 2-4 emails PER WEEK. And a couple times there were multiple emails a day! I lost my mind.

I was super into it but then it looks like the free tier limits are too low for my current subscriber count 😩

I got the ick from seeing the Jack Dorsey quotes on their features page. But otherwise it was one of the leaders.
January 13, 2026 at 12:11 AM
I haven’t heard of that one! Honestly I just wanted to send an dang email, I don’t even want analytics because they stress me out too much. Just blindly sending an email into the void is enough for me.

This! I’m so tempted to go with squarespace, and it’s the cheapest of the paid options and I like having my traffic all going to one place. Buuuuut the fee is still a bit more than I want to commit to, since in my best year I sent 6 newsletters.
January 13, 2026 at 12:06 AM
Ooh I actually REALLY like this! This is the closest I’ve seen to solving all my problems. I think I’m gonna go with Patreon, because I already have one and I didn’t realize they have a newsletter function now. And my adhd loves only having to post in one place. But this is the closest runner up.
January 13, 2026 at 12:04 AM
This is so infuriating! How about I don’t want this, shopify, how about that?
January 12, 2026 at 7:12 PM
I’m in this weird limbo, especially because I’ve let my newsletter wallow a bit, that paying even $20 a month still seems like a lot, but any of the ones with free options eventually scale to much MORE expensive than squarespace and have way more options than I need/want.
January 12, 2026 at 7:10 PM
I’m currently reading up on Kit? I’m not averse to paying but I am averse to paying too much. And I only want to send out a couple emails a month TOPS, as I personally find emails way too stressful and I’ve been unsubscribing from anyone (creators too) who floods my inbox.
January 12, 2026 at 6:42 PM
I’m spending this afternoon researching newsletter alternatives. Any artists following me using one they really like? I’m torn weather to use squarespace (where my website is) for ease of everything being in one place, all my traffic etc. Beehiiv seems to have a good free option but scales badly.

This year I've decided to make more trans mugs. Last year I raised money for our local gender affirming closet.

This year, I'm looking to raise money for an organization that helps trans people in Alberta.

If you know of any orgs helping, please let me know below.

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

Yeah, that’s one thing that brampton is reaaaallly lacking. The library doesn’t have a community board at all? I don’t remember because after I racked up a huge fine in my tweens I returned all my books and never went back 😬
January 12, 2026 at 1:18 AM
Hahah! You absolutely do not need to do that, but I won’t turn them down if they show up one day. I’m thinking I might turn these into garlands for the kiddo’s next birthday.

The ones I got are about 1cm wide, but I remember making stars at school with regular letter paper and just cutting it with my heart, rather than measuring anything.

It’s soooo cute! If I’d seen one of those on a lamp post or stuck to one of those big green electrical boxes when I still lived there, it would grab my eye immediately and I’d have pooped my pants out of sheer excitement!

Growing up in brampton I wish so hard that more stuff like this existed!! Please if you live in the area and this is your cup of tea, make an effort to go! Brampton could use more community like this. 💙
So happy with this style and branding I made for a collective I'm starting ☺️
