we’ve reached another end of another week. I have scrimmed and saved and worked my butt off to get extra freelance money and I am sitting pretty with my kids going into a long weekend or even an extended stay. This would not be possible without the support of this community in this board as a whole. I’m not living large by any means I just have enough to cover what needs to be covered. That includes rent utilities food gas all that good stuff.

I feel like I need to say this because of all the other conversation about federation in people not understanding what this board is about. When somebody denigrates hackberry I point at the outpouring of love and support that we give those who we consider members of our community. It’s not even a hard past a test just don’t be a Nazi Don’t be a terf… Just be cool willing to listen to others and don’t be incendiary.

I am happy that you have helped me and my children get to a place of stability I will never forget that and I want to return the favor. It may not be today it may not be tomorrow but I know that true solidarity lies in helping each other and I greatly appreciate and love all of you. I fear I’ve been too sappy so I’m going to leave this off with a tiny salute
