These Friday weekly recaps have been really fun to put together lately. Friday is usually a quiet day and doing these helps settle and engage my brain. Thanks for being a supporter and reader! bsky.app/profile/kate...

In the past, my physical and mental health has kept me from the coverage pace I've always wanted, but this year I've made strides in this area, and with my sleep apnea getting fixed next week, I couldn't be more excited.

I plan on keeping up the 3 post/week pace until Christmas at the least as I've spent this year transitioning from relying primarily on freelancing for mainstream outlets to pay my bills into this more reader funded model.

At the same time, I've launched another way to support me and keep up with my work, launching BurnsNotice.com on Ghost. There you can buy an annual subscription for $40/year.

I do not want to ever have to paywall my work, and you can help me keep from doing that by becoming a paid subscriber.

There's 3 months left in the year, so I would need to average 66 new paid subs each month until the end of the year. Heres the good news: there's never been a better time to support my work

In the last 3 weeks, I've made 3 new posts every week and will continue at that pace patreon.com/katelynburns

It's been awhile since I've done a serious paid subscriber drive on here. I came into this year with 509 paid Patreon subscribers and set the ambitious goal of hitting 1000 by the end of this year. I'm a little behind pace on that now at 802. patreon.com/katelynburns

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
