If you aren’t too worn out by all the Presidents’ Day revelry — and the ritual Donning of the Fake Lincoln Beards — I would like to welcome you to the first edition of the 2013 Man Boobz Pledge Drive! (There will be 3 in all.)
I’ll try to keep this brief and repeat what I said last time: If you enjoy this blog, and can afford it, please click on the “donate” button below and sending a few bucks my way. Or, if you’d prefer, a massive quantity of bucks. You don’t need a PayPal account to donate; you can use a credit card, and I think there are other options as well.
There’s a bit more urgency to my request this time: I’m really and truly broke at the moment. Things should get better later in the year, but right now I could use all the help I can get.
I appreciate any and all contributions. And I’d also like to do a quick shout-out to the those who send me much needed $ between pledge drives, whether these are one-shot deals or regular infusions.
That said, if you’re also broke and can’t swing a contribution now, I completely understand. There are lots of ways to contribute to this blog besides cold hard cash, and lots of you contribute enormously every day with smart and funny comments and cartoons and silly parody MRA posters and so on and so on. Which is awesome. It’s the community here that keeps me going.
So thanks!
Oh, and if you need more persuading, here’s Tom Baker (no, really) begging for bucks during a PBS pledge drive.
David, I’m really sorry, I’m unable to work just now but as soon as I’m able I will throw some bucks in the kitty, miaow. Thanks again for all you do and the community you have created.
Done.
Done, I will try to start donating the same monthly.
Thrown some your way David. When I was unemployed and blogging people were ridiculously generous to me, it’s only fair I should pay it forward. Wishing you the best for the future.
recently came to your site and enjoy it very much. One of my favourite places to come for takedowns of idiocy. Good luck with the drive
Done.
Thanks for the donations, folks! And Yoyo, no problem, I completely understand!
Now that I’m no longer paying tuition, I feel like I got a salary increase so I’ll toss something in the kitty for David and his kitties.
So kind of off topic but I am watching Walking With Cavemen and I have yet to see any food gathering which I know had to been done outside of hunting. And this fight scene with the strange male is just stupid.
I don’t have any money so I can’t give you any, BUT if you check your email I did just “donate” an article I thought manboobz would like to see.

Done.
That pic is one cool bit of Photoshopping. 🙂
Crap, I need, like, 2 weeks when I get paid again before I can donate. I should write myself a note.
Happy to donate.
I will, but I can’t do it right now. I just had some unexpected expenses in relation to the conference I’m speaking at about interrogation/torture in Walnut creek in Mar; between the lost work, and the $200 I just had to spend to modify a ticket things are gonna be a bit tight until April.
At risk of threadjacking, would anyone have any contacts re: procuring an abortion in New Zealand? (For the eyeballs I am able to engage via the site’s existence, I will do the honorable thing and kick in a few bucks. But I expect this to absolve me of any responsibility to provide smart and/or funny comments.)
@Peter: is the person a NZ resident? Here’s some info and links (Family Planning are a great resource, they do free pap smears for younger women): http://www.familyplanning.org.nz/our_clinics/need_help_now/abortion
Given how this blog helps keep me sane, I’m glad to give back, so: – done! (I only wish I had a better job, so I could give more!)
Done. The community here is great. Keep kicking MRA arse.
@Kiwi girl – they are indeed. Friend of a friend, but I thought this would be a relatively simple place to ask in terms of signal-to-noise. Thanks!
I wish I could donate, had I known there would be a pledge drive I would have, but I just spent all of my money on pathfinder books.
Thanks, everyone! It really makes a difference to me. (And I understand if you can’t swing it right now.)
It will be later next week for me, I’ve had some bills this week and I am about to owe pecunium some dosh too. 🙂
I’m pretty uhh poor. Student loans, credit card and bills.
Last year I made a grand total of 8000 dollars…….
Anyhow, don’t laugh at my tiny donation….

Ah, classism. Who’d have thought the honorable SPLC could throw your lot under the bus for a buck?
