January 2 marks a clean turn into the new year, and with it, a cleaner structure for this work. Nothing reactive. Nothing rushed. Just clarity.
Here’s what stays the same.
Free access remains.
- One public post per day.
- The free feeder file stays available, exactly as it is now.
Locked. No updates. It remains a reference point, not a living system.
Nothing is being taken away.
Here’s what changes.
Beginning January 2, the living system moves to subscription.
Paid subscribers receive:
- All updates
- Full library access
- Full archive access, including the Sawmaka archives
- Unlimited posts, written as they are written
This applies equally on:
- Substack
- The direct homepage (identical coverage, same material, same timing)
There are no tiers, tricks, or rotating privileges. If it’s alive and evolving, it belongs to the people supporting it.
Pricing is straightforward:
- $15 per month
- $150 per year
Commercial licensing remains a separate lane. Pricing stays where it is. If a serious commercial party steps forward, that conversation happens then—not before.
Why do it this way?
Because stable systems need clear boundaries.
Because free should inform, not carry the full load.
Because people deserve to know what to expect before the year begins.
This gives everyone time to adjust, decide, and step into January without surprises.
Thank you to everyone who’s been reading, thinking, and engaging here. Your time and attention matter, and they’re not taken lightly.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a steady, clear New Year.
