I’ve never paywalled my articles because I know many of my readers are on disability & can’t afford it.
I’m in a terrible situation with my housing and may need to ask for help.
What’s the best way to do this? Paywall? Wish list? Go fund me?
Would folks be bothered by a GFM in lieu of a paywall?

SCOTUS has allowed the Texas gerrymandering to go forward, and Rep Jasmine Crockett is being booted out of her seat.
She’s one of the fiercest opponents of Trump.
She fights for healthcare and SNAP.
They couldn’t beat her, so they changed the rules and got rid of her.

Here’s what they had to say.
Let’s apply this logic to whatever Prasad produces Ok.
Let’s divide the number by 88 million.

Her water had broken before they kicked her out.
The nurse told her “I have to follow the rules. Once the doctor discharges you, you must leave”.
