Is there another path, whereby I might pay for a subscription via PayPal? I don't give out my card numbers any more. Identity theft has made me even more paranoid!

All's I know is that we need all the trans voices we can get at the moment, and I consider you a friend, if only parasocially. I would indeed miss seeing your posts.

I am now in as a subscriber. Carry on Cryp Dike! I will also send links to your substack to people I know who might not yet be in the know. You are an awesome writer who deserves to be seen and heard. AND subscribing to your stack is another way to RESIST. Sending hugs and kisses virtually your way!

If you lived near me, I'd let you have my spare bedroom free. Like, a whole room with a bed and shower and bookcase and internet!

I’m in! Hope you find a place soon! (I see your Washington housing prices and I raise you our California housing prices. I get it.)

I see you -- all of you -- who have chipped in. I really can't thank any of you enough.

Right now, I can only afford a monthly subscription, but hope to upgrade to a yearly one next year. I am so sorry that you haven't found a place yet, but will pray (if you don't mind) that you will find something soon.

I don't mind, and I appreciate every bit of the support. Nothing about this request is meant to make anyone feel guilty. We do what we can.

I don't feel guilty, I feel angry that with all of the available housing in this country, it's too expensive for many to find an affordable place to live.

Been following you for a while, I read almost all the posts here, passing by so much of the flood of articles from other Substacks I get alerted to. Well worth the upgrade. I hope you find stable housing soon to help easy your mind!

Thank you so much, Aaron! It's so good to get feedback like that.

I don't know if you remember older, eclectic magazines like The Sun. I sometimes feel like Pervert Justice falls in that mold. Although The Sun was pretty relentlessly upbeat, it covered a wide variety of stories using a wide variety of methods, from factual reporting to opinion and analysis to poetry. I know PJ has value, but it's hard to sell something that people can't pigeonhole.

I am so sorry to hear that you haven't been able to find a place! We've already talked and you know I don't have any extra rooms to offer, but if worst comes to worst,I do have a couch you are most welcome to occupy for at least a few weeks. It's not ideal and I wish fervently I could offer more than that, but it's something at least. 🫂❤️

it might come to that, it might not. We'll see. At the very least people have already donated enough that I can pay for movers to take things into storage while I crash on a couch for a bit.

Can you share your Venmo here in the comments? I don’t want to do a recurring payment (too much shit to keep track of) but would love to do a one-time payment with and option to remember to do it again later

I just added PayPal in the article. Here's Venmo.

Im here, CD, doing the same thing you are doing, and I pay for a sub to your pub, because I believe in what you are doing from day to day. You and I are not all that different, I need my readers as much as you need yours. Thats why I paid up first chance I could get. But I will see if I can scrounge up enough for a founder upgrade and do it immediately, because, like I said, if we need this for ourselves, we cant get anywhere if we dont help each other.
