I’m starting a Patreon for anyone who would like to take part in supporting Humans of New York. I like the idea of having an ongoing, intimate conversation with the people most invested in Humans of New York. I like the idea of our connection not being dependent on the algorithms of Facebook or Instagram. And yes, I’d love to have a stable source of funding to travel, and innovate, and grow. Nothing will change ...on the blog. All content will continue to be free. I’ll be using the Patreon page as a space to share the process, planning, and thinking behind the work. I'll be updating frequently and a monthly pledge of $1.50 will unlock all the content. If you can afford to give more support, that is great but not necessary. I want Humans of New York to be a lifelong body of work. And a big part of that is always being able to find the people who care about it most. So if you’ve enjoyed the blog in the past, and would like to contribute to its future, I hope you’ll consider becoming a patron.
See More“We’ve been dating for a few weeks, but we almost broke up an hour ago. He showed his whole ass this weekend. I was visiting my grandmother on Saturday, and my little cousin was having a bake sale, so I spent the whole time baking. I was focused. And I’m not good at multitasking. So I didn’t see his texts for a few hours. When I finally found my phone, I had all these texts from him. He’d gotten himself all worked up. He thought I’d been ignoring him on purpose. So w...e talked on the phone about it that night. I told him: ‘Sometimes I’m busy.’ And he acted like he understood. But then yesterday he wasn’t answering my texts. I could see that he was online. He’d clearly turned off his little blue ticks. I sent him ten different texts, but no reply. He was clearly ignoring me. Then finally at 9 PM he gives me a call, and says: ‘Sorry. Sometimes I’m busy.’”
