Support my writing
You’re here because you value writing that’s independent, honest, and refuses to bend the knee. So do I; that’s why I started Thought Crimes.
This Substack is reader-funded. That means no ads, no corporate sponsors, no state-approved narratives. Just me, my brain, and a laptop (usually fuelled by coffee or wine, depending on the mood).
Every post I write takes time, thought, and more courage than it should in today’s climate. And I want to do more of it; deeper dives, bigger ideas, and bolder truth-telling.
If you’d like to help make that happen, here’s how you can support my work:
Become a Paid Subscriber

Why Support Matters
Let’s be honest: truth-telling doesn’t pay what it used to. We’re in a time where saying the obvious can get you cancelled and where clickbait, outrage, and identity politics dominate the discourse.
Thought Crimes exists to push back. To say the quiet part out loud. To challenge the sacred cows. And to build a community of people who value reason, clarity, and good-faith arguments.
Your support isn’t just funding my writing, it’s helping keep public conversation honest.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for reading. And if you’ve already supported in any way, thank you. You’re the reason this thing exists.
