Let’s Stay Connected (Outside Social Media)

My friends, social media sucks.
It’s an endless, time-sucking stream of mindless engagement bait, poached or recycled “content,” AI slop, hot takes that no one asked for, etc., ad nauseam, shot through with commercial come-ons, sponsored posts, and grift. And it’s all designed with one goal in mind—to get you addicted and keep you that way.
I’ve never loved that, and I’m not-loving it more and more all the time.
If that describes you, too, here’s some happy news: You can bypass social media completely and still enjoy Dumb Runner’s 100% original, 100% commercial-free humor.
Yay!
There are two main ways you can do this. Here they are:
Join Me on Patreon
Patreon, a monetization platform for independent creators, is a nifty way for people like me to stay connected with people like you. Make a monthly pledge, in any amount, and each week you’ll get …
A “Happy Monday!” post, with a quick peek inside my head. (Apologies in advance.)
A midweek “Archive 5” post, with five articles and/or graphics from the Dumb Runner Archives, along with notes and context from yours truly.
Friday’s “Dumb Runner Week in Review,” a recap with my newest articles and graphics—and more!
As much or as little conversation with me (and with fellow patrons) as you want.
Long story short: Join me on Patreon, and you’ll automatically see all my newest stuff, a fair bit of my older stuff, and some stuff that you won’t find anywhere else.
