Milestone Goals
Free speaking/training gig every month
$650 per month
I will make sure that I do a talk or security/privacy training session that is open to the public every month, in whatever area I'm in. This means talking about net culture, history of internet activism, kids and network literacy, the future of art, security training for journos, normal folk, kids, or whatever topics both me and people are interested in. Heck, I might even talk about the history of the Internet, the history of drugs, or bodyhacking again!  It might be a security training at a hackerspace, or a pop-up talk and conversation-in-the-round in a park I tweet in advance. I'm happy to listen to requests, I'm hoping you guys make requests!

But I get final say. 

You don't get to make me talk about Butts in a rainy park. I know how you internet people are. 
Your Monthly Long Read Essay
$1,000 per month
When I get to this goal I'll write a CC-NC-licensed essay about the world, its history, future, things to love about it, things to change or just connections few people know about. This is where my rants, eulogies, and songs of praise and passion come in. I'll take a deep dive into a topic, but because I can take the time you're giving me to do it, it'll be creative common licensed and available for republishing, translating, and creative resuse on a non-commercial basis. (NC because taking my work and selling it would be a kind of dick move, but if you have a borderline case, let me know.) I'll post it to Patreon shortly before I publish it elsewhere so that if your friends mention it, you can be like "Oh right, I already saw that. Yeah, it's cool, dude." like the nonchalant Patreon master you are.

I am a journalist and photographer, an essayist, as well as a public speaker, and I train people to understand their networks, surveillance, and digital security better. Most of my work appears online, but some of it is provided locally to populations who can't afford expensive trainers and speakers. With your support, I can do more of this work for more groups as I travel. Your support also lets me take deep research dives in my writing, and lets me write the kind of things news orgs often can't afford to let their staff writers go into deeply.
