Here we go again: donation time!! [BUMPED UP: scroll down for today’s new posts]
Ah yes, here we go again.
It’s been awhile since I’ve asked for donations. In the meantime, many readers have donated anyway, and I thank you all profusely. Some of you even have a setup whereby you make a monthly payment, which is also great. I appreciate it so very much, and it helps to keep this blog going.
If anyone wants to contribute to thenewneo, please click on the “Donate” button either to the right or at the bottom of the page, depending on what sort of device you use when reading the blog. If the Donate button is not showing, disable your adblocker and that should make it visible.
I thank everyone in advance. If it weren’t for you readers and commenters, I’d probably be doing something other than this in my dotage.
I’ll probably keep this post at the top of the blog for the next week.
neo:
Done!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Here we go again….
In the spirit of “giving”…
More blatant hypocrisy from—SURPRISE!—the NYT!

Question:
Do you ever look at the analytics from Amazon? There is no feedback as far as I can tell, on the buying end as to any commission.
Chases Eagles:
Yes, I have an account that gives that information. Is there something you want me to check on?
Neo: Any updates on a way to donate without using PayPal?
Neo, I’m interested in chazzand’s question, too.
I have also wondered if possible to send a check to one of the very active folks, eg Huxley, to then pay you — since they don’t mind (as much?) using PayPal.
But that seems weasily, though it feels safer.
Still hoping for a different method.
chazzand and Marlene:
I’ve done a lot of research on alternate forms of payment, such as Stripe, and encountered a great of trouble with them. I have been unable to find an alternative to Paypal that seems better to me, despite trying.
Paypal hasn’t been doing anything too offensive lately, although I know they have in the past. I also take my money out quite often, which means they can’t take it away from me even should they want to do it. I realize, of course, that it means they get a small percentage, but they are providing a service that works quite well most of the time. So many services are politically compromised these days – including banks – that I figure it’s impossible to keep one’s hands clean. For me, Paypal works well and Stripe doesn’t.
Another way to contribute here is to use my Amazon portal, also in the right sidebar. But of course some people won’t use Amazon. As I said, it’s difficult in this day and age to keep one’s hands clean.
Done
Thank for maintaining a site that has not succumbed to screaming and yelling, and, has class.
Heartfelt thank you for all you do here, neo.

You may have seen this. I received it yesterday from a friend who was a ballerina.
Zakharova is cat like in the control she has over her body. Stunning movements.

(And the way things are going they’re going to be needing every bit of it….)
