I could and did, although a modest amount. I will be able to start a monthly thing this week. Close, or someone, why don't we make this post sticky for a few days. (Don't worry about the foo'ball thread I just posted. It's only MNF, FFS.)
I can't believe how fuxxored that front page is with adblock turned off! Just as I was clicking the "donate" button, a freaking pop-up ad covered it! Had to reload the page three times and scroll up and down while the floating ad settled down elsewhere. Very hard to give away money these days.
There seem to be a lot of comments on the front page re weirdness like that happening.
The clicky was dead with adblock turned on, so I turned it off to contribute. It was so awful!
Hold me.
My browser froze. This is a relatively new computer.
I tried counting all the ads and scripts one time, and my brain froze.
Rebecca said she can't get quality advertisers on the site on account of us potty mouthed commies. I said I bet if she did a commenter/reader survey she could get top notch advertising dollar, but she said the former precludes that
Well, fuck.
But she knew us before she bought the joint…
I'm already in for $5 monthly but I can manage $10. That's the most I can do (Jesus, my cat needs Science Diet c/d and that's $100 a month!). I'm really sorry to lose Robyn; I thought her writing was awesome.
I don't suppose the Trump Foundation would . . ., nah, never mind.
Sure, of course, I kicked in, via PayPal. I figured they could use a lump sum right now. We can't lose all those valuable Dick Jokes or have the Wonkette community go dark while terrible things like Breitbart media still walk the earth.
Besides, this place is still way cheaper for me than psychiatric services.
CAUTION: May cause spontaneous, inappropriate laughter. Do not use Wonkville while driving or operating machinery. Wonkville is frequently Not Safe For Work, though occasional use may be considered harmless. Side effects with Wonkville use vary, but some people have reported weird dreams, obsessive thoughts and bizarre Google search records. If you experience dizziness, nausea, "pins and needles" sensations in extremities, tentacle dreams, or the urge to scream "POOP" in a crowded room, discontinue using Wonkville for several hours. Ask your Internet Cephalopod if Wonkville is right for you.
I'm already a monthly subscriber and am tapped at the moment, but I ordered something through the Amazon linky that I needed (link is on their sidebar) and will send something later this month if I can. I can't imagine getting through this election season without Wonkette!
I sent the monies that I have spare this month, which means no new fancy makeup palette for me. But y'all know I don't need that crap anyway, on account of how coming to Wonkville makes me both smart and gorgeous. It's science.
A large percentage of of whatever you point out happens to be astonishingly appropriate and it makes me ponder why I had not looked at this with this light before. This article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific issue goes. But there is actually just one point I am not too comfy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the central theme of the position, let me observe what the rest of the visitors have to say. Well done.
Thanks, Weej. We denizens of WVille may not spend much time on the FP, but if our mothership's income stream is not what it should be, then (in my view) it's important for us to step up and represent, and I'm sure your upping your monthly tithe will be greatly appreciated by the front office.

Done.
Okay, I sent some even though I seldom go to the so-called "main page" anymore.
Without Wonkette there would be no Wonkville, so I'm sure your donation is much appreciated.
That was my thinking. Plus I adore Trix, Shy & the Wonkebabby, having met them all at a drinky-thingy.
^^^this
I don't at all, and don't spend a lot of time here either, but wonkette has given me a lot over the years, so I'ma send some Ameros, too.
I have a feeling it will be very much appreciated.

:)!!
They'd gladly donate some money to your cause if you'd just make an equal donation to them.
Ummmmmmmmmm, thoughts and prayers?
Well exposure isn't doing shit, obviously.
It got me arrested, once…
Glad she thought of everything. I'm gonna do the one where you send a check to her mom's house.
Yay!
Couldn't donate much but pitched in a little to hopefully save Wonkette, and by extension, keep Wonkville.
Exactly.

DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN
BALLWONKVILLE!Wonkville. It's what's for dinner!
Gotta get back on the monthly thing again. Thanks for this.
I like being pressured — am writing check and in the mail tomorrow. After all, these two pages are my primary news sources.
Also, too, where else can I post mid bike ride, delayed wit, jokes like:
PHLEGMGHAZI!!1!
Oh lord. I nearly guffawed, here at work.
I alerted her on teh boards I was sending a cheque.
Then I SMITED her with bad poetry. To cheer her up, of course!
chicks dig that…

Did you get eaten by a deplorable spambot?
Zippy posted this a while back as an example of spam he found in the filter. I just think it's hilarious.
BTW, I agree you're smart and beautiful and don't need new makeup.
Aw thanks! I am the true deplorable, fishing for those easy compliments.
