Why join our Patreon for as little as $3.00 a month? You’ll become one of the amazing people who help our writers get paid so we can keep bringing you critical perspectives on fashion, pop culture and social change.
Patrons get complete access to our archives, invitations to exclusive events like Zoom happy hours with special guests, and stickers! Learn more about our fundraising goals and membership tiers on our Patreon page.
Sure, we’ve occasionally daydreamed that a bored heiress would take a fancy to us. Then we see our favorite progressive, creative outlets close one by one when support dries up. We’ve also seen that publications like ours haven’t been able to sustain themselves through traditional ad and subscription-based models.
That’s why we’re committed to remaining truly independent. This allows us to stay focused on work that dismantles stereotypes and speaks truth to power, even if it doesn’t always please the algorithm. Your financial support helps us keep the lights on, keep producing beautiful, thought-provoking stories and essays, and keep mentoring emerging voices. And above all, your support enables us to pay writers.
Want to support us, but can’t commit to a recurring amount? You can also make one-time contribution via PayPal (note: contributions are not tax deductible).
We’re independent, but we’re not alone. Dismantle is a community effort. Join us!
