Even as we do, of course, I still need your help as we continue to fight the sometimes-impossible odds of remaining completely independent of corporate or partisan or foundational control.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you can help us out with a Happy Anniversary present today, it&#8217;d be <i>greatly<\/i> appreciated! If you can afford to make that gift a <i>monthly sustaining pledge<\/i>, it is all the more appreciated as I continue to fight to figure out ways to afford to keep us going here. (Yes, I hate the fund raising even more than you do! Unfortunately, its a necessity, no matter how bad I am at it!) At any rate, my thanks for whatever you can do to help support us, whether that means donating, commenting, sharing links or simply taking action in some way on something that you&#8217;ve learned here. It <i>all<\/i> means a great deal. So, thank you. Very much.
