We Are Family - Two Additional Days to Save Half Off!

Thank those who carry me <3

Jul 08, 2023

I am carried. Every day, by people from around this good earth who want to see this experiment in independent investigative raconteuring succeed. Thanks to a very generous benefactor, I am able to extend the half-off sale through the weekend. Please take advantage of the great rate, as I will be paywalling more of my work moving forward.

I realize I’m competing for the same dollars as the New York Times and the Washington Post, a one-woman band, carried by you all, without gross spammy ads, and no Vichy normalizing of the fascist creep. We are inching our way toward my goal when I launched in December of 400 paid memberships — wow — so please join us if you can.

In addition, one of Bette’s lovely angels sent me gas money to get to the desert and in exchange, I am offering to gift three memberships in his honor (even though he told me it wasn’t necessary). So if you’re nickels down, and want to be added to the latest gifting lottery, please zip a note to: bettedangerous@gmail.com. Let me know who you are and what concerns you most about our trouble times.

Lastly, I do offer a great fixed rate for those who are retired, disabled, activists and members of the media. Zip a note if you would like that private link: bettedangerous@gmail.com.

Judging by the turnout for our July 4 Happy Hour, I’m not the only who needs this community. We had people checking in from all around the world, and what a beautiful time it was.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who sent kind words about my latest post:

Wash Our Spirits Clean

The desert sky is pink and subtle, muted like a faded postcard. I miss the astrophysicist, who used to tell me things about scattered light and black holes, gravitational waves and string theory. I understood little but loved the magic — a universe filled with wonder and beauty, particles colliding.

I was so tired when I arrived to the RV that was my home for the night, I thought I’d doze and write in the morning. But a book of Pablo Neruda poems caught my eye, and inspired by poetry, the moon, and the stars, I wrote, ‘Wash Our Spirits Clean’ — please listen to the podcast version if you can. It’s pretty.

When I was heading out — refreshed and ready to write some fierce new reports — I stopped at Joshua Tree Coffee, and realized it had been two years since I launched my Ko-Fi account — a tip jar activist and artists use to get support for their work. I had been a P.I. for the people for five years, investigating Trump Russia 24/7 as civic duty, for free. Heartbroken and alone for the first time in 23 years, I reached out through the Twittersphere and said I needed help to keep going, and I quickly learned angels are everywhere.

Thank you for all the love.
