Ways to support STFUandFish!

No Comments

I’m getting asked often enough now, it warrants a post. There’s several ways you can support STFUandFish. Both are located on the homepage in the right hand column.


“Buy me a coffee” is a single simple donation system via PayPal.
“LiberaPay” is a single or continuing donation system along the lines of Patreon, but without all the fluff.

Thanks for all your support!
