I'm a conservative protestant who is very sympathetic to my fellow catholic believers. I found you from Scott and have very much enjoyed your Trump, Synod, and Minnesota takes. This essay though is spectacular, I'll have to subscribe once I'm more employed.
Congrats on those first few paragraphs! If I’m remembering you last exclusive-to-the-old-blog post your aspirational goal was to make writing your day job but your initial goal was to just make enough in subscriptions to offset the cost of your next PC… at this rate you’ll be buying a few PCs a year just to keep your costs up with revenue!
When I hit $1000, I did, indeed, have the great pleasure of upgrading my CPU for the first time in a decade. My little i5-2500K Sandy Bridge that could (until about 2020, when it definitely couldn't anymore) is now a i7-14700K that's so neat I can't even cool it properly in my 2011 case!
Still, a surprising amount of De Civ revenue has ended up going to purchase food, because inflation hit hard and my salary did *not* rise commensurately. But that only makes me all the more grateful for the paylist!
