Your Generosity Helps Us Keep the Lifeboat Afloat
To the Lifeboats!
This is the time of year when we must ask you for a little help in keeping the lifeboat afloat.
We cannot be "self-sufficient" when it comes to our little corner of the internet without YOUR help
because our website hosts insist on being paid with currency.
Our goal is to raise $1500 for 2026.
We deeply appreciate whatever you can donate.
Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed for 2026.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." —Carl Sagan
