Today I am launching a Patreon — if you get nothing else out of this post, GO SUPPORT MY PATREON. If you can’t afford to give, even just raising awareness about it for me would be awesome. I lost my job last week right before I found out I have narcolepsy, so really, any help supporting myself through writing is appreciated, even just shares or a dollar a month.
If you’re not familiar, Patreon is a way of becoming a patron of the work that I do – I produce cool and interesting things, and you pay me a little bit for each of them; you can even put a monthly cap on how much you’ll pay. Aside from rewards for your contributions, everything I write will remain available on my website and YouTube, donating here is just a way of making sure I have the ability to keep doing what I’m doing, but more and better.
Here are some of the rewards:

Not really comfortable with the auto payment stuff – I’m assuming the aol paypal id you had previously given can still be used ? (The donate button on the left hand bar on your blog doesnt work)
If you read my Twitter of Facebook you would clearly regret the $10 thing. Good luck with your fundraising.
