Goal 200% Achieved!
I checked my PayPal account… 8 hours after posting “I need help. $95 in two days” Tuesday night. My wife had a medical appointment and I was away.
Frankly I was afraid to check…
Your generosity blew me away! All extra funds will go to fund some expansions of the site. I’ll post about them tomorrow for subscribers.
Everyone of you kind souls will now have a permanent paid subscription… on me. You helped me when I needed it most. If you forgot to send me your email, I’ll do my best to find you in my subscriber rolls.
Welcome New Founding Members!
Several of you actually gave as much or more as a Founding Member subscriber.

So that is noq your now permanent status. With gratitude. I have you listed on our front page. I just have to research a bit how to make it stand out better. Tomorrow…
One of the benefits Founding Members receive is a signed physical chapbook of “every clock is a handgun pointed at my head.” I’ll contact you directly to get your shipping address, so look for the email. It will take about 4 weeks… production takes awhile after I put in the Amazon order.
You guyz? All you guyz? You make this all worthwhile! (“Guyz” is non-gender specific. I hope I hope I hope…)
Your Feedback Made Me a Better Writer.
I also posted When “Kind” Words… Hurt: An Autistic Elder on Microaggressions. I’m grateful to report it’s getting about 25% more readers and podcast listeners than my average post
Thank you!
But some of you wrote me with questions. Deep-thinking freaking questions. So I spent today deep thinking and slow processing.
I added an informative intro to the piece. And some links for deeper reading on the experience of microaggressions for autistic and other neurodivergent folks.
If you’ve read the original bare bones piece, it might be worth another peek? I give the original personal story of my struggles with an advocacy group that inspired this work.
