Support my writing by tipping as little as $0.50 USD. Tipping at least $1.10 ensures that the majority of your tip goes to me and not to the payment processor, regardless of how you pay or what country you live in.






With the exception of Ko-Fi's Free tier, all major platforms for content creators take a cut of their creators' earnings. Ko-Fi's Contributor tier, Buy Me a Coffee, Gumroad, Patreon, and Substack all have fees of 5 to 12% in addition to payment processing fees.

Screw that noise. My preferred way of receiving money is by carrier pigeon with cash tied to its leg, but I also accept Stripe (debit, credit, and Cash App) and PayPal (including Venmo).

If you want to calculate how much of your tip I actually receive after processing fees, check out this calculator spreadsheet I made, which you can use in LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets, or (if you must) mIcROsoFt eXcEl.
