I would be honored to support you in some way, as I feel you have contributed greatly to the vegan, feminist, parenting, etc. community that I benefit from, however, I truly respect your decision to not go that route.

I love your thoughts on not asking for money – yes, it can certainly change things or make them feel funny if not done right. One thing maybe we can do to help – are you signed up for the Amazon Affiliates program? If I understand correctly, even if we don’t buy items from your Amazon Store, if we click on them before ordering something else, you’d get a %, right? I hope so at least, I’ve been clicking your links before shopping and hope it’s working!

Sayward, with all the stuff you have going on, is it possible that what you’re dealing with is burnout, not necessarily depression? They often look the same but they are not. (Or, they are on a continuum, but there are differences.) Just asking because I am dealing with burnout and the fantasy of running away is the thing that gets me out of bed most mornings. Otherwise, I’d just stay in bed.

Also, I agree with Lina: Take the fucking donuts!

Have you read Amanda Palmer’s book or not?! TAKE THE FUCKING DONUTS! But, really, whatever you feel comfortable with. I will bombard you with virtual hugs and supportive little nudges instead. + Know that you are helping me handle my black hole by writing about yours. You are the best, Sayward! :D <3

I have such respect for you, Sayward. I’ve been reading your blog for years and there’s a genuineness and authenticity that is unparalleled in blog land. I’m a meat eater but have tried many of your recipes and LOVE them (that coconut lentil soup is a staple.) I love the weegan lunchboxes on instagram. I love your garden and your pics of SB (land locked Minnesotan here). I love your love for your pets and your modern family (doting step mom here with no plans of procreating myself.) My favorite entries are these. These personal ones. I’ve also had a really hard year and find myself at a very vulnerable place that in the end has left me open for a lot of growth (and growing up) (which is funny to admit as a 35 year old.) I identify with so much of what you write. How you respond to everything, how you share yourself to us, is SO inspiring. You radiate integrity and light (even when you feel down, I swear) and I just really appreciate it, in this world where there is so much darkness. Anyway, I’m a big fan, and I will gladly contribute when the time is right!
