A very important announcement, some new updates, and things to look forward to!
🕑 Added 2020-03-15 21:40:41 +0000 UTCThis week, I am making a very difficult choice.
My vanilla job is waitressing. Last week, I saw my usually-busy Friday shift slow to less than half of what it usually is. While I was at work, I was washing my hands and using hand sanitizer as often as I possibly could, every time I touched anything, every time I went to a table. If someone coughed in the restaurant, heads turned.
My boss told me we were going to see what happens in the next few weeks, but as I and my partners are at some level of risk for complications from COVID19, I think I am going to have to tell him that I need to self-isolate and keep myself and others safe. There is no paid time off for waitstaff or restaurant workers. There will likely not be a restaurant for me to come back to.
Various kink events and venues that I am heavily involved with are looking at hiatus of uncertain time, and I will likely have to step up and do a lot of work to keep everything afloat, not just for myself, but for the broader kink community.
My full-time job will soon be kink: creating content, managing social media, teaching as best I can online, and volunteering to help the kink communities I’m involved with. I’m going to be online a lot, and I’m going to treat this as a serious responsibility, especially now that my other responsibilities in life will be put on hold as I adjust to isolation. I expect to be quite busy.
This means a couple things: I will be focusing on making some high-quality content that does not really exist yet in the hypnokink world. Right now I’m looking at a Patreon subscription model for intelligent articles on hypnokink (with the same professional quality of books) and pumping out 6-8k heavily-researched and edited words per month for it. Patrons will have the option to vote on topics they’d like to see.
I will also be teaching at various online events, some of which will be free, some of which will have a donation model to benefit the community, and some of which I hope to do to make a little extra money myself.
You can most directly help me (and by extension, our larger community) succeed by subscribing to my Patreon at one of the new tiers. While there isn’t a Patreon-exclusive writing there yet, there will be in the next week or two (check the poll!), and there is an example writing available to the public (https://www.patreon.com/posts/34910240) that you can check out in the meantime. While you’re there, you can enjoy the hours of hypnosis content that already exist for Patrons -- recorded trances between myself and my partner that are super-hot and great to learn from (and I know some folks trance off of them too).
The $7.5/month tier can read the articles, while the $9/month can have direct input and vote. To put this into perspective, this is like getting 3-4 polished book chapters worth of content per month, probably split between two writings. Also, some of these writings will almost certainly be adapted into real chapters for my next book on NLP -- for Patreon supporters, I am considering releasing the manuscript when it’s finished online. Something else to look forward to! If you can’t commit to a subscription, I am going to try to have these writings available for one-time purchase, and if you can’t commit to dropping money, boosting helps immensely.
And fret not -- Two Hyp Chicks Podcast will be continuing, and more active, as well as the large amount of other content that I make that’s free.
We all need to support each other during this time, especially content creators who do most of their work online. I want to thank everyone who has supported me over the years and really make a commitment to stepping up and making stuff that’s worth that support.
Be safe, and thank you so much.
