Seeing a number of millennials grappling with the knowledge that many of our aesthetic preferences were dictated to us by epstein and his type of people. As we are a very nostalgic generation I wonder how this will impact that.

Honestly having patrons mostly makes me feel good. Makes me feel like people care and value this adventure of mine.

Periodic reminder that Writing the Rapids has a Patreon. I put episodes out there about a day earlier than anywhere else. I try not to ask people for free books (though I do sometimes, and I accept if people offer) so the patreon helps offset those costs as well as the cost of my website.

I really recommend going to see some local bands, telling them at the show that you loved what they did, it warms the soul to be able to fuel a dream
