   It's Friday afternoon, and that means it's time for an update for my supporters over at Patreon. And I guess I'm finally getting over COVID, because this one was back up over 800 words, and considerably more detailed and (I hope!) interesting than in the last few weeks:

     Obviously this week a lot of what was sponsored was unleashing my unhinged posting-through-it energy to promote https://superswingdistricts.org (which is within $1k of what I think is its final goal!) but political activism is not usually my main wheelhouse.

     If you would prefer, I am equally happy for you to sign up via Github Sponsors at <https://github.com/sponsors/glyph>, which I guess I *should* want you to prefer, since they have no payment processing fees and thus I would hypothetically get more money that way, but I started with Patreon and haven't quite figured out how to bridge everything.

     I also try to give credit to my sponsors using this weird little tool I wrote <https://github.com/glyph/sponcom>. These typically only show up in commits on repos that I personally own (including private repos, for the purposes of the intermittently-published high score leaderboard) since I still feel a little weird about the etiquette of including promo on other orgs' commit messages.

     It's a rotating roster of credit, proportionally allocated by donation amount, so it can be a weird little easter egg to see what sponcom decides you "sponsored" in a given month. Like, for example, this week, friend of the show @jacob apparently sponsored this helpful little improvement to internal maintenance documentation https://github.com/glyph/Pomodouroboros/pull/69/commits/03c0179753b9a58306152462fc8dcec5d9b70030 and also… for the best example of why this is not intended to be taken too seriously, whatever this mess is https://github.com/glyph/Pomodouroboros/pull/69/commits/7e7ab79f43773856de2f7078f7a7a375f02aaa6e

     So it's time for another quick self-promo thread. If you weren't already aware, I am an independent open source maintainer and writer working on a variety of projects. Some of these projects are described in my self-promo megathread, helpfully linked here so I don't have to repeat all of them: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/112498550495367755

     You can support this work over at Patreon, here, for which you receive access to my (usually) weekly(-ish) update about what I'm working on and thinking about. This is always a bit rougher and more conversational than "official" pieces at my blog, but folks still seem to like it! <https://www.patreon.com/creatorglyph>
