$4 gas at the pump. Cancer air drifting past elementary schools while regulators call it a supply-chain necessity. A trans MSP now representing the constituency of the woman who spent a decade and a fortune trying to erase trans people from public life. Three stories. One week. One body — yours — carrying all of it forward. The hawthorn opened today without asking permission. So did we. We tell these stories because nobody else will. If this work matters to you — if you refuse to look away — click our advertisers. It's not charity. It's what keeps the mycelium pushing through the forest floor at 5 AM. It's what keeps the goddamn lights on.

"The Spinoff’s revenue comes from three main buckets...Two of those buckets have been leaking hard lately.
...
All this is happening at a time when our audience has never been stronger. ... but that is completely decoupled from money to pay for our work.
...
This is us saying that it’s time for The Spinoff’s audience to be the most reliable indicator of our value – and source of financial support."
