This money comes out of my ever-tight pocket. I could do without all these expenses and upload the vignettes to any social network, but it's much better to have an archive that can be consulted by date and that has some context about the images. As of today, 16,749 posts have been published along with as many vignettes or illustrations.
Moreover, the blog remains a necessary space for free opinion without interference and the best searchable portfolio any author can have.

Advertising helps to alleviate these costs a little. There are years when I don't even get half that amount, bearing in mind that this is a personal blog and the traffic is modest.
Therefore, I suggest that you do not block ads. It would be appreciated.
Add this blog address to the blocker's whitelist, pause it or disable it for this URL.
There are no advertising links in the content nor do I write sponsored articles, all advertising is identified as such.
If you still don't want to see any ads, you can subscribe to receive ad-free posts in your inbox when they are published or refuse cookies in the cookie banner and you won't see any external ads.
It is possible that you may land on this page again on another occasion if you do not deactivate the blocker, I apologise for this. This action of redirection or warnings is activated for a few days a month, only at certain times and with no fixed frequency.
