I am *so* in it's ridiculous, at £20 for the first year. Thanks for thinking of us like that.

Never knowing what The Ruffian is going to be from week to week is its charm. Like when I used to buy magazines made of paper that smelled nice.

It's also interesting to see your payment approach. My overwritten, clunkiest pieces are paywalled because I stupidly thought that putting in extra graft was how to reward a small number of paying supporters. But that's b***ocks & I'm going to rethink it around the radical concept of rewarding the best people with the better stuff.

Anyway, it's ace to have The Ruffian.

Very happy to support. I’ve been a fan since first reading a piece you wrote for the New Statesman on curiosity. I’ve done the premium tier thingy. When will you contact people about the extras which that entails? Thanks for your writing!

I’m torn, would like to support you and I’m drowning in email newsletters. Maybe if you made it 20 for life for early adopters I’d be motivated to make the jump. But still considering it anyway. Thanks for a great newsletter!
