This post will never go to the public. One of the stretch goals for the Run Your Own Mail Server Kickstarter was an online launch party for all backers. As parties go, it’s pretty lame–definitely BYOB. It’s open to all early backers, including you folks. There’ll be two sessions, to give both Europeans and West […]

November’s Neurypnological Sausage
[This post went to Patronizers at the beginning of November, and to the public at the beginning of December. Not a Patronizer? Sign up at https://patronizemwl.com. Okay, fine, technically, you don’t sign up there. You get to choose between my Patreon and my private patronage system. Still, you all get treated with the same confusion […]
October’s Ostrogothic Sausage
[This article contains RYOMS gift spoilers for print-level sponsors and Patronizers. I think everyone has their packages, but just in case, you’ve been warned.] [This post went to Patronizers at the beginning of October, and the public at the beginning of November.] It’s Halloween Month, and there was much rejoicing. I perform one experiment with […]

September’s Sibilant Sausage
Pretty sure August was eating locoweed. The “Run Your Own Mail Server” Kickstarter owned most of my hide this last month. Not all of it. A patch on the back of my neck remains freehold. I managed to make a few words on what I’m calling #projectIDGAF, but mostly it’s been investing in production stuff. […]

August’s Acquernous Sausage
Wow, is it raining. The word “acquerne” has nothing to do with water, but I believe the acquerne are crazy damp and none too pleased. Anyway. In the name of Dog I’m tired, but here’s where things stand. Most importantly, I learned how to pronounce “floccinaucinihilipilification” and “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.” That should guarantee I live my next […]
Video Tier becomes Private Discord Tier
Attendance of the video hangouts has dwindled since the pandemic, so I’m switching that tier to a private Discord. Why Discord? Because everyone who gave feedback said Discord. If you backed me for the video hangouts, I’m sorry. I will not be hurt if you downgrade or stop Patronizing me. I will be having irregular […]
July’s Japish Sausage
Because this all certainly feels like a jape. Last month, I hoped the RYOMS Kickstarter might round out at $50k. It hit $76,883, with 1966 backers. $25K of that was in the last three days. Plus, there were a few hundred sponsors. This is what we in the writing business call “freaking insane.” My reaction […]
