weekly Rworld news

As of today I will post a weekly update.

Options to follow the weekly update:

I will also offer monthly & seasonal options for keeping up with me. It is unrealistic to expect corporations to keep us connected. Whenever possible I choose nonprofit spaces with no ads, no tracking, and where I have control. I recently purchased 2 new URLs: Rartsy.com is now showing available paintings & Humanissome.org embeds my video streams & social media activity.

The embedded post below is the topic for this week's update:

“I'm getting my affairs in order,” sounds like what someone in a movie says before they die. That's not how I feel; but that's how I felt at the time of my Winter Seasonal Update. I'm inspired by how I felt then. I wanted to have an estate sale while I'm still living. I am tired of my life as it is. At the time I was also looking for someone to take over my decisions for me, or to be an uplifting constant companion. Those roles are too much for anyone to take on, I know. What I've managed to do, since then, is up my painkiller dosage so that I can function every day. I have done this by giving up on my prior doctor's office. Getting my affairs in order has included/will include government, medical, financial, personal, family, business, internet, and more. Every day I do a little. I have a lot to do.

Speaking of corporations not keeping humans connected, Patreon is not loved by the creators who depend on it for income. If you are willing to pledge a monthly amount I encourage you to try Liberapay, a nonprofit alternative.

Ways To Show Financial Support

  One-time   Recurring
Zelle no fees, lean, instant Liberapay lean, no additional fees, credit card processing fee
Venmo no fee, slow Patreon bloated, fees
Ko-fi bloated, no additional fees, credit card processing fee Ko-fi see entry at left
Cash App no fees, slow (? I think, no one has used it in years)
PayPal credit card processing fee

I do not wish to discourage you from giving using your preferred method. I'm happy when I receive a payment notification from any of them! In a discussion once as to whether I had a default method of getting paid, I replied with one of the truest things I've ever said:

I accept money every way that it is offered to me.
