Hey friends, there won’t be a poem today — my son had an accident yesterday and broke his arm while I was on air during Episode 2 of
’s Ellie’s Exclusives, with muckraker extraordinaire, , and our special guest, investigative journalist . (I look forward to speaking to you both again soon!)This isn’t the message I was expecting to send today — I need y’all’s help and support — our family cannot afford to cover this ER, Ambulance, and Surgery without help.
I hate having to ask for money in this way, but I can’t do this without you.
At this point, I will need all the paid and founding subscribers possible. This is going to be a mountain that my family will need help climbing.
Please consider supporting how you can ❤️🩹💙
Additionally — please consider sending a small donation, if you can, I know this ask is a lot and I appreciate every single one of you!

Nick’s Notes
I'm using poetry and Live discussions to discuss the intersections of politics, veteran's issues, men's issues, mental health, technology, and so much more. This is a reader supported publication where engagement is encouraged and transparency is key — please consider becoming a paid subscriber today and grow the community!
This is another reason why we all deserve universal healthcare .
Nick, I'm so sorry about your kiddo's injury and I'm sending this along in the hopes that more people will help. I hope he's managing the pain ok. We haven't met yet, but I'd love to chat with you here on substack when you're available. I talked to Ellie yesterday and it was pretty awesome. Warm wishes for a full recovery for kiddo and enough help for the healthcare expenses.
