I have a really crazy story to tell you

a tea-spilling spend recap

Listen. I know it seems like I’m teasing out a crazy story as a ploy to get more people to sign up to be a paid subscriber to my newsletter.

The truth is that, yes, we are just FOUR PAID SUBSCRIBERS AWAY from the goal of hitting 100 by December 31.

And yes, it’s still just $3.50/month to sign up right now.

And YES, I want you to sign up.

But, to prove to you that this story is ALSO crazy, here is a series of responses I’ve gotten from friends who I’ve already shared it with.

So, you know, sign up! So you too can open this newsletter and hear the tea.

Plus you’ll be supporting our existing and upcoming work and will have access to more fun things coming in 2024.

Before we get to the story, here’s a look at my Tiller budget for this week. As mentioned, I am making less money than I’d like right now, so I’ve cut my budget back a bit. So far, so good.
