“Crazy Money” is about as close as you’re ever going to see me come up with an indictment of capitalism. Which is to say, not very close at all. It’s not that it’s perfect, but all the other systems are worse.

A new installment of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up.
As a reminder, THE BOLD MARAUDER is monthly, and only available for paid members. So sign up today! Only a dollar a month (although you can give me more).
I need some information about Substack.
Specifically, does it allow you to attach files, and/or have an archive of saved files? How do people using paid subscriptions handle PDFs attachments? Can it be done via Dropbox, or is there something inside Substack itself?
Hopefully these are just academic questions. Alas, hope is not a plan.
…Just how many of my Patreon patrons use the Apple app, anyway?
Is there some way to check? I mean, my Patreon uses a $1 base level, so it’s not as infuriating to me as it’d be to some creators. The subscription model is more annoying, but it’s more annoying to me. If my patrons don’t actually care about that, then that’s livable. But if nobody is buying subscriptions via iOS anyway, then why should I change at all?
Patreon Microfiction: First Contact.
“First Contact” is set in the same Unfiltered univers as GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND. …I really need to find a better name for this series than ‘Unfliltered.’ It’s a joke that I get, but possibly nobody else does.
The July Patreon stuff is up!
As I said, it finally gelled. Next month’s is probably going to be set in the same world as GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND, by the way. That should be fun.
Anyway:
- Short Story: The Real Thing. Wander the horribly clear streets of Lost Atlanta! A Tale from the Fermi Resolution.
- RPG Material: Resurgence, Part 4 (A): The Empowered. A bit of detail on the how the player characters are likely to be. Will there be interpersonal conflict? …Yeah, probably.

Patreon Microfiction: We Don’t Talk About The Face.
Fun not-actually-fun fact: I started seeing the odd Face in AI slop after I wrote “We Don’t Talk About The Face.” …Yeah, I’m sure that’s nothing. It’s got to be some sort of coincidence.
People saying nice things about me and my Patreon!
One of my favorite things in the world to have happen.
I heartily endorse both Shaenon/Jeff’s and Eric/Wednesday’s Patreons, as well. Shaenon does my Tom Vargas covers (she’s looking forward to starting on BANSHEE BEACH), and Wednesday is my increasingly long-suffering editor tasked with tempering my atrocities against the semicolon. Good folks, good creatives, check them out.
Patreon Microfiction: Lucidity.
Lucidity is not sanity. You can be perfectly clear and intelligible, while at the same time quite mad. For that matter, even if our protagonist succeeds he’s still going to be quite mad.
Patreon Microfiction: Market Equilibrium.
Is what’s happening in ‘Market Equilibrium’ a good thing, or a bad thing? I’m not sure. Mostly it’s just a thing. That’s a lot of time just how the world works.
