While I'm hurling this etude into the world for free, I'd nonetheless be grateful if you'd consider supporting my work via my Ko-Fi tip jar and/or by signing up for my MacroParentheticals newsletter, which gives you, among other things, exclusive access to PRESS A TO START, my semiannual cacophony of realities real and imagined. If a monetary or subscriptive remuneration isn’t in the cards, I do hope that you a.) enjoy these offerings and b.) consider saying so in some public forum of your choice.
