Very, very quick paid subscriber update [TE]

Hey everyone!
Editor’s note: I planned to send this only to paying subscribers since it doesn’t matter for the rest of you but substack literally won’t let me do that unless I turn on payments. So sorry about that but it’s important enough I’d rather send it to a bunch of people who don’t need to hear about it then not give a heads up to the people who fund this.
Last month I turned off subscriber billing ‘cause y’all have backed me during many let’s say unproductive periods and I wanted to save you a few bucks after my back surgery.
Well, this morning I checked my bank balance and lets say it’s only due to a client tossing me some pity work that I’m once again a hundredaire.
This email is to let you know that I’m going to be moving the whole blog from substack to beehiiv and turning payments back on.
The way I think that’ll work is your subscription will pick up with the same number of days left until your next payment as when I paused it. I do just want to send out fair warning that it may be messy.
I think keeping subscriptions paused on substack should prevent any billing foolishness, but this is a heads up that payment processors are scum and villany and we may need to work out some details.
Stripe has been good at covering mistaken payments in the past so I’m not worried about needing to be on the hook for that.
Anyway,
Thank you all again for your support and there will be a more substantive post later today.
