We got a jump in the parking lot and stalled at the loading dock. One of the security guys laughed at me when I asked if the battery would just re-charge itself if we drove it long enough. Took 3 hours to get a jump from a trucker and drove until we found a Canada Tire (small wall mart with auto shop). It was 5am and we were worried that if they couldn’t help us we’d be really stranded so we left the engine running when we went to sleep. It’s a diesel R/V. Once the shop opened the mechanic hooked it up to a monitor and said the battery was fine.

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.
