Support me

Why would you give any money to a charity in 2020? They've all gone woke, and now spend their money on clipboard-wielding harridans who go around searching cupboards looking for non-compliant coffee mugs. Support me instead by sending a bit of money my way via Patreon, or SubscribeStar, or buy me a coffee via Ko-Fi.

Social media

I can be found posting at Twitter, and Gab, and also Unflappabl, a British site in beta-testing.
