We just hit 200 subscribers, which means we can actually afford to mail out the issues of Tumbleweird to our subscribers!
The dream is that we get enough subscribers to cover all of our costs (not just mailing costs), but we're getting there. Some generous readers have sponsored copies for people that have been laid off or furloughed. It makes me so happy to see the community coming together, supporting each other.
Without further ado, here is the May 2020 issue. Stay safe. Talk soon.
