This is likely in American dollars, correct?

It is! 7/8 worker-owners is in the US and so we are, regrettably, beholden to Freedom Dollars.

While I have a few minutes before I have to turn the temperature down on this cheesecake for the second half of the bake, a bit about why The Flytrap is so important to me, and how members like YOU (that inbox better have a notification when I refresh!!) make it possible.

Our fearless leader @andreagrimes.com reached out to me in December of 2023 about "an unnamed bloggy project" and asked if I would be interested in reviving the 2000s heyday of feminist blogging. It was a wild time! A heck of a lot of cool people were writing great stuff and having amazing convos.

It was also COMPLETELY UNSUSTAINABLE. Running a blog is a LOT of work, especially a group blog—and all the best feminist blogs were groups of diverse people bringing their own perspectives to the table. Wrangling the collective. Guest posters. The blogroll. MODERATING COMMENTS.

Some feminist bloggers made the transition to other media formats. Many quietly faded away. A lot of those blogs disappeared, eaten by link rot, platforms closing, failing to renew hosting, etc. That was a huge cultural loss. Andrea wanted to see if we could do that, but better.
