Yours Truly is the paid & founding subscription tier of Yours, Inigo. If you peep the navigation bar at the top of my Substack homepage—every Yours truly post is available to preview before upgrading.
As a constantly evolving landscape to share my varied interests and disciplines, upgrading to Yours Truly will grant you access to online and IRL benefits:

I know. I feel the world boiling, too; soulless corporation after soulless corporation pressures us to sign up for monthly Faustian direct debits. Now Inigo’s asking for a subscription, too. I hear it. Honestly, I’m just grateful you’re reading this at all. If my writing thus far has been as transformative to read as it has been to write and you’re able to commit to Yours Truly, it’d be an honour to have you. If you’re not able to commit to a paid or founding subscription but still wanna support my work, you can make a one-off contribution through Buy Me a Coffee or Paypal. Alternatively, feel free to be nosey and look at my Treasure Trove wish-list.
