Need Based Discounts

It’s important to be transparent about costs and profit in the face of late stage capitalism. It’s also complicated to hold generosity while also wanting to financially respect one’s labor, time and artistic craft. This deck took over 4,000 hrs and 8 years to make. The art, design, writing, marketing and publishing are all done by me.

In the spirit of transparency I’d like to share the tangible costs and profit of this deck and offer a discount code to folks who need it. My labor and operating costs are not included.

*a quick note on need: It is common for low income people to be the most generous with their money and resources. It is also common for folks struggling with money to not treat themselves to self-care and tools of healing. Need is subjective. I invite you to ask yourself-is a discount needed in order for me to feel financially comfortable buying this deck? If the answer is yes, this discount is for you.
