Hello club!

Over the last year I've been putting a lot of thought into the things I'm paying for in my life, and where my money goes. I've been making an effort to cancel subscriptions for things that aren't truly benefiting me, and put that money instead towards communities, causes, projects, and people that I care about and want to thoughtfully support.

Towards that end, I decided to give a few dollars each month towards tilde.club. I am grateful to have discovered the community here.

It's just a drop in the bucket of the expenses that deepend (and other admins?) face to keep the lights on. So I just wanted to throw this note out in case anyone else has been thinking about some of the same issues I have, and just needed a little push to say "this is worth a few bucks a month to me". :)

I totally understand that not everyone can do that, and I intend no judgment on anyone! I also see the list of supporters who have made donations already. Y'all are awesome. I just don't want to take this place for granted.

To deepend and everyone else who has put in money or labor to support this community, thank you! This place rocks. I hope it will be around for a long time to come.

p.s. no one put me up to this, it was entirely motivated from my own thoughts ;)
