| 0:00.0 | I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent |
| 0:07.9 | podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those |
| 0:13.7 | considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question. |
| 0:22.3 | So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out. |
| 0:26.8 | We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast. |
| 0:30.7 | And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at |
| 0:37.3 | camaya.substack.com or through a one-time |
| 0:40.4 | donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so |
| 0:47.6 | grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us. |

| 1:29.2 | This is a community-backed show. That's what allows us to be unfiltered and really go into every |
| 1:34.6 | territory possible with such a diverse range of topics. So if you find our work valuable, |
| 1:39.7 | you can support us at patreon.com slash green dreamer. We are hoping to reach our next Patreon goal as soon as |
| 1:46.6 | possible to be able to continue on with our next season beyond episode 300. And if every person |
| 1:52.6 | listening to this who has just two bucks to spare chipped in, I'm sure we would get there in no |
| 1:57.2 | time. So thank you so much for your support, whether through joining our Patreon if you |
