patreon / unsolicited advice for patrons
if you can afford to keep your pledges with the added fees, please do. maybe talk to people to see if there are similar ways to support them outside patreon; I had a good conversation with one of the creators I support, & they're thinking of alternatives, but that's not an option for every creator.
if you can't afford to keep your pledges and you have to lower or cancel them, please let patreon know the impact of their change. it's their fault, not yours.

Shameless self-promotion
So anyway, boost my stats so I can impress my (entirely fictional) media professional soon to be colleagues, who will swoon at my feet upon noticing my ridiculously tubular numbers
Friend-promotion
The best promotion is to tell others about what your friends are up to, so do that when you get the chance. "Somebody once told me" is not just a masto meme - it's usually the way people get into things
No, don't tell them about me, tell them about your better friends instead
barter economy talk
im really interested in using the internet to bring back barter economies. sure, maybe the person selling the laptop you want doesn't want what you have to offer, but with the internet, you can set up a trade with someone who is offering what the laptop person wants; with sufficient technology, even if you're 100 steps removed from the person with the laptop, you could set up the trade that same day
