$30/year; help feed the kitties!

Look at those adorable blue kitty eyes! To keep them adorable and blue, I need to pour cat food in the kitty intake valve. If you support the substack, you can help make sure the food is uptook and the eyes are blue! Also, you will get my writing more or less daily in your inbox, whoosh. The sale ends shortly; it’s only $30/year. Help me help the kitty! (And you too. But mostly the kitty.)

Okay! Enough of the desperate promotion exploiting the cat! This is what I published this week.
