THE END OF THE BATTY BLOG FUNDRAISER 2025
The reason for fundraising and the reason bloggers on the right in general should fundraise:
Every blogger to the right of Lenin has paid the price in career, in wealth, in prospects. And that keeping us poor and meek is a great way to serve as a warning to others who would speak out. If you want to nullify the “warning,” consider donating.
Thank you to everyone who has donated.
If you wish to donate:
The Give Send Go is still active.
There is also paypal. Yes, I removed the button from the side (though I’ll return it) a couple years ago because they were threatening to fine people for badthink. Whether that was entirely organic or part of the Autopen administration it’s open to debate. They were being very enthusiastic about forcing everything from social media to everything else including debanking. At any rate, I think it is safe to use a paypal link for the next four years. Give or take. (Look none of these services are pure. We use what we can and seems safe at the time.)
So, here’s the paypal link.
While on that, yes, the address in Las Vegas is still available:
Sarah A. Hoyt
Goldport Press
304 S Jones Blvd #6771
Las Vegas, NV 89107
(Note this is a drop box. Please don’t send perishables that will be damaged by heat. If you want to send something out of the ordinary, contact me first. I’ll figure out another place to send it where things won’t be damaged and I can retrieve it. And if you want to give me physical stuff, it might be best to catch me at a con. (Younger DIL says I have do do more cons. Sigh.)
If you’re a substack subscriber and wish to continue subscribing, please do so. There will be earcs
Tomorrow, I SWEAR. I’m going to get my butt to bed, get up tomorrow and finish formatting the earc. Then entering changes so my long-suffering copy editor (like my typos aren’t enough) actually get the manuscript she’d made room for on… Monday. SIGH.

*reads king bed meme*
“That’s scientifically impossible! There can’t be so much space that the cat sprawls out without touching you! It was proven in the Floofy experiments of 1986 that no matter how much space there is on the bed, the cat will expand to fill all of it and push you into a little groove on the edge.”

I have a king bed. I’ve never met a king, but if I do, I will be ready. I have just the thing for you!
Growing up, I had a twin bed. I would lie awake at night and wonder where my brother was.

Just got a new iMac. It has autocomplete. NOT autocorrupt. It sometimes shows a ghostly image of what it thinks I’m about to type, but it does not change what I have actually typed.
At least, I haven’t caught it doing that. Yet. But I’m a-watchin’ it.
I know why it’s taped!
You can still post bats even after the fundraiser is over. :-D

Regarding the CEO and the HR lady…
Someone brought up an interesting point: There’s lots of vitriol out there for the man, and support for his wife, but very little condemnation of the HR lady and hardly any support for her husband.

As to the HR lady here:
The Ladies in HR have been on a campaign to root out and eliminate all workplace interactions that could possibly result in relationships for pretty much as long as I worked in companies large enough to have HR departments, from the late 1980s on, well before #metoo and the rest of the toxic hashtag era. The door to this crusade pretty much opened in Tech as a result of the Clarence Thomas hearings, after which they rolled out etc first round of thou shalt not training.
From those who were still in cubical-land leading up to the Wuflu lockouts, I understand it only got worse.
Some openly wondered why the Ladies in HR were so hell bent on removing human interactions from the workplace, changing everything to a fear-soaked no mans land. It seemed like they always went above and beyond on this particular topic, with an overabundance of zeal compared to the other campaigns and initiatives that came out of HR.
But this viral scandal offers a possible explanation: Maybe the HR Ladies were just eliminating the competition.

If that graph extended past the introduction of 0bamaCare, you would see the number of doctors and nurses decline, while the number of bureaucrats explode past 5,000%. There would be another big drop in actual medical professionals in 2020.
When doctors and nurses would rather be fired than get the shots, that should tell you something.

The one about truth vs. consensus reminds me of a quote on this blog, some time in the past:
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” — Philip K. Dick (quoted by “Arwen”)
My take on truth vs. consensus: if truth were defined by consensus, we would not be here, because Columbus would have sailed off the edge of the world.
