We're moving to Ghost!

+ some other announcements

Hello to all the hotties reading this newsletter <3 Thank you all for your ongoing support.

I have a few big announcements to make:

1. We’re moving to Ghost! I’m tired of giving this platform a 10% cut of paid subscriptions, and I don’t want to continue supporting a platform that protects Nazis. You don’t need to do anything on your end. We got it covered.

2. I’m scaling back my financial coaching practice. As much as I love working with my clients, I can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing: I want to become a full-time writer again.

Here’s what to expect from this transition:

• Once we move to Ghost, I’ll launch a $10/month membership tier. Members will be able to ask me questions about their finances, and I’ll publish my answers. Your questions will be anonymized, and the answers will only be available to other members.

• The newsletter will have advertisements and sponsorships moving forward. We’ll keep it as simple as possible, and we’ll only work with companies and small businesses that align with our values and provide important services to our readers. To that end, if you’re a small business owner who wants to advertise on Queer and Trans Wealth, please reach out at leo@queerandtranswealth.org :)

• I’m raising $20,000 to hire more writers to share their stories with our audience. For context, each story costs around $500 to produce — $300 for the writer, and the rest for editing and turning the story into graphics for social media. $20,000 will fund 40 personal essays total.
  
  I want to pay writers in states like Kansas, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and others that have passed anti-trans legislation to share stories from the frontlines. I also want to pay writers to share about their experiences in the solidarity economy: starting worker-owned cooperatives, running time banks, and more. These are essential stories that mainstream media won’t invest in.
  
  Your contribution will be tax-deductible, thanks to support from our fiscal sponsor, the Tiny News Collective.

If you can’t afford to support us financially, please keep on sharing our work with your friends & loved ones. ❤️ Your support means the world to me.

See you tomorrow [on Ghost] for vol. 3 of Apocalypse Spending 🫡
