Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to read, and thanks for clicking on this page.

Who am I (today)?

I’m from Columbia, SC. I’m a teacher, writer, a researcher, a musician, a volunteer public education advocate. I’ll share more at some point about why I started this newsletter/ blog, and about the process for writing these essays, but for now I’ll just say that I find it very rewarding and a great outlet, but it’s also sometimes a lot of work. If you can help out by sharing, I really appreciate it! If you’d also like to learn about subscriptions (free and paid) please keep reading.

If you want to support me in another way, you can also check out my music on Bandcamp (the discerning gentleperson’s choice) and other streaming services.

Subscriptions

Upgrade to a paid subscription to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update. You won’t ever have to feel left out of the water cooler conversations about school funding or niche South Carolina politics or dream pop, or whatever.

As of May 2022, I’ve also opened up optional paid subscriptions for anyone who has a few extra bucks to throw my way. If you already have a free subscription, thank you!

At the moment the last 6 months of posts are still completely free. If you’d like access to the older archive and you can afford to do a monthly subscription, I’ve set the price at the minimum allowable by Substack ($5). I’ll also try to throw in some extra bonuses as a thank you to for subscribers (maybe some free music or merch). If you need access to the archive and can’t afford a subscription, please reach out and I’ll give you access.
