I love the concept of barter, trading stuff, zine for zine, or other art for zine. Some people have done trading like this, I even got some mushrooms from a subscriber at the Durham Farmers Market, which was really cool.
If you can’t trade something, just send me a letter or a postcard giving some info, or a poem or a sketch or any impression you like. One of my original subscribers sent me an email that she was sending me a check to put toward my expenses, not necessary, but the fact that it’s a check coming snail mail instead of some cash transferring app of some sort felt in the right spirit of what I’m getting at.
“Hey mister postman”. Cheers!

Silly human. Don’t you know that cash transferring apps undergird today’s mutual aid? So many of the world’s humans are un-banked that fintech has opened doors for the poor…while also allowing fintech capitalists to grow rich by (sometimes) deceiving those they serve…which is all in the well-trod footsteps of other financial institutions. Even so, I am old and also prefer checks, banking (literally and figuratively) on the devil I know rather than the one I do not.

Me too. I have one of those apps, but seldom use it. The whole bitcoin thing is both a fascination and a puzzlement, as it appeals to my anarchistic tendencies.
