During the pandemic you could be with the pregnant lady but you couldn’t leave and come back. You could leave, but they weren’t letting anyone in who wasn’t already there in the begging. So if parents didn’t have someone to be home with kid or animal or whatever, the mom was on her own at the hospital. Viv was born two years ago in 2021 and there was enough restrictions lifted that my mom was able to come watch Liz while Obby and I were in the hospital. We did have to stay masked the entire time, which was hard to stay on top of. Covid was fucking up so many pregnant ladies, they were not messing around.

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.
