While inking this I was struck by the utter audacity of someone to send a symbol of their religion to a BABY whose parents you did not know if they held your same beliefs or not (WE DON’T). “Here’s a necklace of my crucified savior for your newborn baby.” So, you expect me to put this around her neck. A statement of your beliefs. No. nonononono. But, I’m not throwing it away because it’s hers. It was a present for her, not me. (I actually have no idea WHICH of my inlaws gave this to her. Obby’s mom brought a bunch of presents when Liz was born) . … actually, this might have been my mother in law who gave it to her along with some earrings. for a baby.

Banner Ads

So, the banner ads are gone.

We never really liked them outside of the fact they helped pay the bills. However given current happenings, we’re super not comfortable with them anymore.

In our household we have started boycotting certain companies, and meanwhile I see these same hyper-corps living (relatively) rent-free next to our art. It just doesn’t sit right. Why pester you, our readers, to funnel more of your money into the hands of greedy oligarchs?

I tried blocking the companies from advertising on the site, and it actually worked, but there were just so many companies to block. Even if I blocked them all, ultimately some of the big tech companies would still be profiting greatly, giving them yet more money to wield against our collective interests.

So I just pulled the plug.

I was expecting to feel some great anxiety, but instead it was a great relief.

As for what’s next? We don’t know.

We might use the space to promote other things in the future, or nothing at all, but for now it’ll be a message of thanks(that some of you may already be familiar with).

Thank you for your support.
