5 years of independent newsletter writing and it's becoming more and more difficult to continue in a self-sustaining way unless i have some sort of following that will pay for any kind of shit i write. unfortunately i dont possess the personality of a cult leader. should i bemoan my lack of guile?

for shelf offering paid subscribers, a rasam-dal hybrid that does double duty, as both a thin and watery rasam, as well as a gloopy and thick dal. Either way, eat it with rice or some toast – or puree the whole thing into soup and call it dinner. you wont find recipes like this elsewhere but here 🫡
