Congrats on the strong year, Freddie! And thank you for the unique and interesting content that gets me thinking and discussing with your other readers.
I'd also add that despite your readership being fairly hard left, you should have no shame in treating this like a proper business. We understand the capitalistic reality that we all currently live in and cannot begrudge anyone attempting to improve their financial conditions. You might want to at least have a consultation with a small business accountant to see if there are tax benefits that you're missing out on. E.g., deducting expenses. They should be able to do all the heavy lifting and minimize the time and effort you need to put into the numbers.
Also, take more vacation! I'm confident that we, your readers, can keep ourselves engaged with ongoing arguments in the comments of existing posts for anyone who feels the need for constant engagement.
I noticed that as well. I'm no corporate lawyer or tax lawyer, but I would imagine there's a lot of options Freddie could look at in terms of business expenses. Even something as simple (but possibly expensive) as his gym membership, considering how much content that creates.
There's no contradiction to me between advocating for workers to overthrow their capitalist oppressor and also creating an LLC to minimize one's tax burden.

Or if he WERE to start offering a platform to other writers, their posts could carry some of the load for his vacations.
