Why This Work is Reader Funded

What Readers Say—And What I Don’t Often Say Back

This newsletter exists because aging, caregiving, and healthcare are too often discussed in abstractions—or filtered through the interests of institutions that profit from the status quo.

I write this independently, without sponsors or corporate underwriting, so the questions can stay sharp and the conclusions can stay honest.

Much of what I publish will always remain free. But reader support makes it possible to dig deeper, push harder, and stay accountable to people—not systems.

If this work has helped you think differently, feel less alone, or better understand what’s really at stake as we age, a paid subscription is a way to stand behind it.

Not as a transaction—but as a vote for more of this kind of writing.
