Several months ago, out of some cruel, unavoidable necessity, I had to ditch my phone number and get a new one. I didn't want to do it. It was an absolute last resort. I was waist-deep in PR campaigns for work, trying to keep a busy home life from boiling over, and suddenly I had to yank the central linchpin out of my entire digital existence. Predictably, it triggered a multi-week, two-factor authentication tidal wave; a grinding slog through the digital trenches. Most of it eventually got sorted. The final holdout? Amazon. The big corporate machine. Now, they tell you there are pathways to recover your account. Pathways. Right. Seven or eight times I tried, and every single time it was like walking face-first into a beautifully designed, completely impassable concrete wall. When I finally broke through the automated sentries, after calling twice and speaking into the void, I got a human being. Or something close to it. Some litigious, semi-robotic operative, sitting at a desk an ocean away, radiating all the warmth and empathy of a twice-cooked fridge potato. Their only job, it seemed, was to dump me right back into the very same algorithmic meat grinder I had just crawled out of. The final tab? Everything. I lost my entire digital media library. Years spent carefully stockpiling e-books, audiobooks, films—poof. Evaporated. Gone into the cloud, proving definitively that none of it was ever really mine to begin with. At first, I was furious. But then, as the smoke cleared, it hit me like a slap in the face: an epiphany. Why in the heck am I feeding this beast? Why pour my money into a system where you can't listen when you want, share what you love, or actually own the things you bought? Which brings us here. Because of my little trip through the bureaucratic meat grinder, this copy is yours. Really yours. No digital padlocks, no corporate rented space. Share it. Give it away. If you feel like tossing a few bucks in the "digital tip jar" so I can keep doing this, that’s beautiful. I’d appreciate it. But the point is, it’s yours. I loved making this, and I’m going to keep doing it—more biblical scripture, adjacent texts like the Didache, Eusebius, all of it—served up the exact same way. No strings. Enjoy.
