On a more personal note…
As the pandemic, protests, and economic insecurity have all worked in concert to bog down our energy and ability to document protest efforts and related causes, we ceased conducting interviews and gathering live footage. We still care, of course, and post about these issues when we can, but the amount of constant work this all took for a team of less than five people with no professional journalism experience was extremely taxing on our incomes and mental health. We regret we no longer update the spread sheets and write essays and conduct interviews, but it just wasn’t feasible to continue doing so.
However, our Spare Gary social media accounts are still active and sharing posts about racial and working class struggles worldwide as we stumble across them. You’re welcome to follow if you want a bit more current news than is offered here:
