The genXy Summer Pledge Drive

Our pledge drive runs through September 21--and till then, you can support us for as little as $1/year!

Here we are, at some undetermined time and year. We’ve always had a thing for flipping off fascists and cameras, apparently.

Are you here to subscribe?

If so, THANK YOU. We’ll cut to the chase.

Here’s how:

• Subscribe to genXy for $20/year.

• Subscribe to Dana DuBois Writes for $1/year.

• Subscribe to Lawrence Winnerman for $1/year.

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 GenXy 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…
