Today we hit the $800K mark, with just under two months to reach our $900K goal. Subscribe [tinypass_offer text=”here”] to help us get there. If you’re already a subscriber, you can always buy a gift subscription to help spread the Dish. One of the roughly 200 new subscribers today writes:

This site has been a part of my daily routine for the last few years. Perhaps not my entire outfit, but a clean pair of socks at least. I had been meaning to subscribe before today, to show some appreciation for the amount of labor and love that goes into the creation of such a compelling site. I have felt a certain amount of guilt for not doing so, and from what I know about guilt, it has a way of persisting, eventually becoming its own obstacle. Of course, this guilt does not help anyone get paid, and the feeling lingers like so many neglected well-intentions do. So, I set up my annual subscription, and the dissonance in my mind subsided a bit.

Beyond this, however, I wanted you and the rest of the team to know that I deeply appreciate the mission of the Dish, and I hope to see this sort of business model thrive for scores of years to come.
