Jaimee Krist's Portal

Look through the porthole — the light is coming from inside.

A portal is a porthole: a small round window onto everything I make, kept on ground I own. You didn't drift here on a current someone else set. You steered in. Take what's freely given, or trade fair for the rest.

The hold

Six kinds of cargo, made and kept here

Each has a berth on this site and a gangway out to wherever it carries furthest.

Ways aboard

You set the fare — and sometimes there isn't one

No platform sits in the channel taking a cut of your regard. Four ways to make port:

PurchaseA set price I chose, for finished work — books, records, objects.
Pay what you wantA floor of zero and a ceiling of your own choosing, for those who'd rather name their own number.
DonationSupport the whole voyage directly, unattached to any single thing.
GiftFree, for those I've handed the key. Some things are simply given.

The vessel's waterline

How the ship is riding

An honest ledger — every stream in, every need, cost, and desire laid open. She floats on income against costs, and on reserves when income is short.

The flows above can be public if you like — that's the honesty. The reserves panel is marked private: keep it for yourself, or delete that block before publishing. Edit every number at the bottom of this file.
