I’ve been blogging for 11 years now, and I’ve seen just about every way a site can handle growing and sustaining itself. Some have ad upon ad upon ad. Some ask you to answer survey questions to keep reading something you can find NOT behind a paywall on seven other sites. Some do a fundraiser every month pleading poverty/victimization by opposing forces.

I’m not going to lie to you and tell you any of those things are at play. We’re in no danger of being shuttered because I can’t cover the hosting costs and I have zero interest in earning $30 a year annoying the shit out of everybody with autoplay THIS MOM DISCOVERED ANTI-AGING SARAN WRAP DOCTORS HATE IT GAY CELEBRITIES vids.

What we do, is an annual fundraiser, in which we ask you to support what you want to read here. To tell us if what we’re doing here matters to you.

And this year we’re giving you something back for it! But if our Kickstarter can’t make it to our goal, we get nothing, so we need to make that total. We’re 1/3 of the way there. Can you help put us over the top, and make this book a reality?
