I recently thought I would be bringing back the UNCANNY X-CERPTS Patreon. I was wrong.

We all make mistakes.

I can never seem to give up the idea that there should be more for me to do than UNCANNY X-CERPTS. I'm so happy to give you 1 or 2 posts every week that I want to give you more of it. And, in fairness to me, I think there should be a buck in it if I did. Not even a "good" buck, just a buck or two.

I recently made the conscious decision to leave my place of employment and figured, while I look for something else to do, I could use some free time to build this site up and reintroduce the Patreon page. It's by far the thing in life that gives me the most joy (besides my wife and our dog) and people are always saying that's what you should pursue in life. But between doing all the things I have to do to be a person, and also trying to find that elusive next job, I actually don't have that much free time.

That's a stone cold bummer. I really thought I could consistently square away a few extra hours every day to write, but that hasn't been the way things have panned out. Despite getting a bit of a bead on it and having some ideas that I was quite enamored of, I was very premature in announcing that project. In any case, there's simply no way for me to pull off the amount of work you have to do to make people want to support you on Patreon.

One of the posts I had lined up was a review of the new Giant-Size X-Men starring Ms. Marvel, which is now available on the long-dormant X-Cerpts Unlimited site. You'll see what would have been the first, now probably only, edition of "Twenty-Something Pages" there too, in a week or so.

I know there aren't that many of you reading this, but I know there are a few of you. And I thank you for visiting and enjoying what I write.

If you have a chance, I would love it if you would occasionally toss a few bucks in the tip jar at Ko-Fi. Donors get access to special posts -- which practically nobody has seen -- which I make no promise of regularity, but a one-time payment of any size gets you full access for a month, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Thanks, and enjoy your weekend!
