As poets, writers, and artists, we need lots of validation. With your largely symbolic contribution of $1 per month, you can offer that. In return, we'll thank you here, on Facebook, and on Twitter.* Furthermore, the next time an Unlikely contributor calls you and asks you if their work, efforts, and very existence are meritorious, you can honestly reply, "I gave at the office."

* Let us know if you prefer to remain anonymous.

Alright, now it's getting real. In addition to public thanks and access to the vlog, you'll start receiving special, patron-only merchandise. You'll receive specific merchandise of our design, clearly identifying you as a patron. This line of merchandise is not available for purchase or giveaway, only through subscription (or three-digit one-time donation).

After three months of subscription to this tier, you'll get your choice of a button or keychain with the special design.

After twelve months, we'll add a t-shirt, coffee mug, or beer stein.

And if you rock fifteen months at this tier and decide that you need a new design of button to celebrate your continuing patronage, we'll create one. We'll do that at your request. And that's what true power means.
