As a Bachelor of Art Painting & Drawing 2010 and a medically retired Computer Repair Tech', I would like to contribute something back to the world with the time I have left. To be honest, I do not really expect to receive donations for the things that I share freely. If you should choose to support what I do, it would surely encourage me to continue sharing. If I did receive donations the proceeds would be used to purchase art supplies, electronic components, test equipment, microscope equipment, etc. I am fortunate to be blessed with disability benefits which provide for my day to day living expenses and to help me cope with difficulties arising from a long term heart condition. I use some of that money to buy the material things that I need to support my hobbies and thus my mental health and well-being as well.

I discovered Liberapay because I was looking for a Fediverse compatible skill sharing platform like Patreon, which I have been using but with practically no discovery of what it is that I'm sharing, despite Patreon's new discovery tools. I setup a general support tier on Patreon, but only ever shared my content free for all to see. I have just two free members and those were the result of commenting on Patreon for Creators live streams, not through discovery via Quips, which seem exclusively to promote established creators (money speaks). Any way, that is why I am here, not to gouge for finances, but just to gauge interest in what I feel the need to share. Perhaps I'm just not interesting enough lol?

There really is no need to support me financially, I'm just happy just to make new acquaintances and friends, though things could get more interesting if you did donate!!! Scanning electron microscope comes to mind and I'm not entirely sure I am kidding...

Whether as acquaintance, friend or patron - with all of what is left of my heart - thank you for your support. Peace be with you always, David Hunt BA(hons) aka micronicle.

At the end of the day all I am here to do as my tagline suggests - to 'magnify the science and be artful with looking closely'...
