A countdown to 100 paid subscribers
When we started this pledge drive, we decided to set a special incentive for every ten paid subscribers. As of this writing, here’s a recap of where we’ve been, and what fun times lie ahead.
☑️ 40 paid subscribers: Formal wear! GOAL MET! (watch)
☑️ 50 paid subscribers: Live karaoke party! GOAL MET! (watch)
☑️ 60 paid subscribers: Bathrobe party! GOAL MET! (watch)
☑️ 70 paid subscribers: Ice bucket challenge! GOAL MET! (watch Dana|Lawrence)
🟦 80 paid subscribers: Freaky Friday—we dress as each other! NEARLY THERE! We’re at 78 paid subs, so only two more to meet this goal.
🟦 90 paid subscribers: We recreate the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads… maybe?
🟦 100 paid subscribers: A massive Zoom celebration with all of you!
Why subscribe?
We’re counting on you to help us continue to write, podcast, and make good trouble.
We adore this work. We want to shape how the world sees GenX as the creative, resilient, innovative, overlooked, world-weary, skeptical, late-blooming, weirdo multihyphenates we are.
Yes, you can access all our content for free. We work on the NPR model* so all our articles and podcasts are available to everyone. We want to get the word out, and that means no paywall.
But we do live in late-stage capitalism.
And that means we need funds to keep it all going. Hence, a pledge drive.
Through the end of summer—aka the 21st night of September—get a lifetime subscription to
for $20/year.You can also subscribe to our individual accounts for just $1/year—a whopping 98% off the subscription price.
$22 to subscribe to all three:
Subscribe to genXy for $20/year.
Subscribe to Dana DuBois for $1/year.
Subscribe to Lawrence Winnerman for $1/year.
This offer is good through the end of summer.
And on the 21st night of September, we’re gonna do something big and silly to celebrate. Stay tuned for details…

That’s the most Gen X photo I’ve ever seen 😆🔥 I love you guys!
I’m not taking on any more recurring monthlies (of any kind haha - that’s a menopause joke) in advance of selling my house & figuring out where & how to survive the next 3.5 years, but $1/year is kind of no-brainer-y.
So, I did LW & DD. Anyone else I can do?
