The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Invent It
Welcome, early adopters. Here is your inspirational dog poster, for helping invent the future. Or at least my future.
New post on vihart.com about the eclipse: http://vihart.com/totality/
Did you see the eclipse? Did you have thoughts? A lot of people had thoughts and experiences, but before we could really share, there were a million natural disasters in a row.
I'm still figuring out this Patreon thing. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
Who is this dog? Is she a good dog? Find out next time, maybe!

I am happy to support you! I hope you find stability soon. :)
Thank you! :D
You're doing great. If you have any ideas that require mundane work, participants, or research subjects, I and 2 of my kids would be happy to contribute. I am sure others would as well.
Hey, that's something I hadn't thought of! I'll keep my eye out for special projects that can use helpers :D
I would say that one of the most important things is to not be ashamed about asking for people to support your work. Obviously you don't want to be a jerk about it, but we are your fans and we really appreciate what you do. Hexaflexagons FTW! So supporting you is something that we naturally want to do; by putting up a Patreon you're providing an opportunity for us to do that.
This is definitely something I need to hear. It's not fun having to admit that my work isn't valued by traditional means and I need help.
Seems like you're Patreoning fine to me
Thanks! I'll feel like I'm Patreoning fine when I can pay my bills... but I suppose these things don't happen instantly. I think I can get there in time.
