Become my patron, support free #CreativeCommons music & art-making with open source and get exclusive access to a work-in-progress track that I'll be using tonight on the premiere.
Then on a separate card: This gift also entitles you to a reward: [reward]
If you'd like to receive that reward, I'll need your snailmail address. You can e-mail that to me at [my e-mail] or write it on the reverse of this card and post it to me.
(And I'll throw in a self-addressed, stamped envelope.)
OK here is what I have: Front: Hurrah! Someone lovely has given us both a gift by sponsoring me at the Crotchet level on your behalf!
Back: I compose sacred and secular choral music and put it online under a CC by-SA license so choirs can sing it for free. This gift of music is supported by my generous patrons.
"Hurrah! _____ has given us both a gift by pledging to sponsor me at the Crotchet [or whatever] level for one year on your behalf!"
"How it works: [brief explanation of what I do, likely from one of my pinned toots]"
"If you would like rewards in the form of [rewards I give at that level], I'll need your snailmail address. You can e-mail that to me at [my e-mail] or write it on [enclosed card] and send it to me."

Will they have any other way to perceive modern technology than the startups, Blockchain and phone apps?
...by someone who doesn't seem to entirely understand CC by-SA and has left the license information off their pdf. Sigh. Not going to push too hard on this one as it is for a good cause, but it is annoying.
Reminder that I wrote a colouring book and you can purchase it from the internet. It's a sort of critique of the crapitalist drive to endlessly consume, which I think means buying it is some kind of advanced level irony, but I dunno.
@thamesynne Himself has discovered coffee bags, which are like teabags but full of ground coffee. Not as good as filter, much better than instant, rather less packaging waste.
