Hey! If you enjoy my writing and would like to support my work, I would suggest you join my writing circles (on food at Substack, on classic cinema at dustedoff.com). I spend a lot of time and effort researching and writing my content, and by being a member, you'll get first dibs on some of my content (plus bonus content, now and then).

Buy me a coffee! Your help will go a long way in helping me continue to write stuff worth reading.
