I'm requesting donations because:

  1. I'm not independently wealthy, and we've all got to eat.

  2. I am absolutely unwilling to turn to advertisements.

  3. Adopting a paid subscription model is antithetical to the sort of norm-building I'm trying to achieve.

  4. Access to the technology and publications that enable ambitious, timely projects does not come cheap.

  5. The more I make, the more I can pay others (humans, not AI) to help produce good work.

  6. I'd like to serve as another data point suggesting that prosocial work and moderate pursuit of profit are not mutually exclusive.

  7. There is an upper limit to my "avarice," so excess funds will go to worthwhile causes.

3% Cover the Fee

NB: If a single $10 payment is burdensome, then please spend your money on other things.
