Light poking through the pecan tree

I’m proud of the mailing list that I’ve been building here. Over the last 3 months in Beirut, I’ve run into some readers in the wild. Meeting people who appreciate what I do through this platform - and even gaining some new friends because of it - has been like seeing the twinkly sun peek through swaying tree branches. It’s small yet magical.

I hate asking for monetary support - especially in this apocalypse economy - but Substack has created a new way to be a paid subscriber without having to pay for it. Although money is necessary to live and do the work, I feel support doesn’t exist in the form of dollars exclusively. There are many FREE ways to help independent creators like sharing their posts on socials, connecting them to other industry folks, or consciously consuming their original content.

Now there’s a way to be rewarded for that kind of support too.

I’ve activated referral rewards so you’ll get the benefits of a paid subscription just by referring friends to Aanab News.

With a paid subscription, you get access to all archived posts and all posts are archived 3 months after being published. The more friends who subscribe thanks to your referral, the more months of (free) paid subscription access you get!

When you use the referral link below, or the “Share” button on any post, you'll get credit for any new subscribers. Simply send the link in a text, email, or share it on social media with friends.

When more friends use your referral link to subscribe (free or paid), you’ll receive:

• 3 months for 1 referral

• 6 months for 5 referrals

• 1 year for 10 referrals

This is a great way for you to benefit from the perks of a paid subscription with very minimal effort but it’s also a perfect way for me to thank you for being here. I appreciate every set of eyeballs that has continued to bounce across these words. Thank you for being here.

Love & olives,
Farrah
