I prefer to rely on crowd-sourced patronage. That way I stay independent of corporations, government, and NGOs so that I can write and speak free from their influence.

Relying on gifts also keeps me grateful—because none of my donors are getting anything in direct exchange for their gift. No exclusive access or content. Therefore your gift is a purely voluntary expression of trust and support. When I remember this, it inspires me to rise to the level of your trust. The donations say, “Charles, we trust you and believe in what you are doing!”

You may make a recurring gift or one-time donation using the form below, in whatever amount feels good to you and respects your own financial situation.

Recurring Donations

I appreciate recurring donations because they give me a kind of “salary” that supports me and my family during the periods when I’m not constantly producing short-term visible output.

Donate Monthly

One-Time Donation

Your gifts allow me to keep this site and all my offerings free from ads, paywalls, and sales pitches. Thank you!
