It’s very sunny this morning, a cloudless kind of sunny, and the weather is telling me it’s cloudy. It was cloudy earlier, and maybe it will be again, but I’m sorry to tell you this, weather, you’re wrong.
We’ve come to this Friday in more than the middle of July, and the year is just flying along. For good or for bad, who’s to say.
I just learned that my set up here will allow me to accept “tips” (that “buy me a cup of coffee” button) or “donations,” which I didn’t know. Spoutible accounts have the same feature.
Is that weird? I can’t explain why but it feels weird to me, to have something like that.
Maybe I’m allergic to money?
But seriously, does it impact your impression of what you’re reading? On the other hand, I do put my time and energy and often emotion into the writing that I do, wherever I do it.
And it’s not like writers shouldn’t be paid.
Maybe I’m out of sync with how things work now. Maybe the buttons are too in sync with how things work now. I guess I’m concerned it turns a conversation into a transaction.
I don’t know. Something to ponder.
Anyway, that’s me for the week. Have an incredible Friday and a wonderful weekend.
