Support the Project
This blog isn’t a business. It’s a strange little side-universe built out of curiosity, burnout recovery, and a compulsion to make sense of things through writing.
There are no ads, no sponsors, and no brand partnerships hiding behind the curtains — just one human trying to write honestly about what it means to stay human in a digital age.
Keeping this space alive — servers, hosting, coffee, and sanity — costs a bit of money and time.
If the writing here has ever helped, resonated, or simply made you feel a little less alone, there are a few ways you can help keep it going.
☕ Buy Me a Coffee (Ko-fi)
The simplest way to say thanks or keep the lights on is through Ko-fi.
Think of it as dropping a quiet “cheers” into the virtual tip jar — a small gesture that says, “keep writing, this matters.”

Crypto tips go directly toward hosting costs, storage space, and the occasional late-night takeaway that fuels these long-form essays.
🛒 Support Through Affiliate Links
Some posts include affiliate links — usually to books, tools, or projects that genuinely align with the spirit of the blog. You can find a simple list (this will be a living document so it will grow over time). You can find the list at “Stuff I use” or “Apps I use”.
Buying through them costs you nothing extra, but sends a few quiet cents my way.
It’s the digital equivalent of tossing a coin into the hat of a street musician whose song caught you off guard.
For the full explanation, see the Affiliate Disclosure page.
Why This Matters
I made a decision early on: no ads. Ever.
No pop-ups, no tracking scripts, no dopamine traps.
If this blog grows, it’ll grow slowly, like a garden — tended by curiosity and the occasional kind stranger.
Supporting the project helps me spend more time writing and less time fighting algorithms. It also means I can keep exploring topics that don’t always “perform” well but still feel important: attention, burnout, AI, creativity, compassion, and the beautiful absurdity of existing at all.
If You Can’t Donate
That’s completely fine.
Seriously.
Reading, sharing, or just being here already means more than it looks like on paper.
Every view, every message, every quiet nod from a reader who gets it — it all helps.
So if you’ve ever thought, “this post hit a little too close to home,” you’ve already given back in the best possible way.
Thank you for keeping this weird, fragile thing alive.
It’s not about profit. It’s about persistence.
A small light on the internet, flickering but still burning — powered by curiosity, kindness, and the generosity of strangers.
