Hey everybody. I am doing a quick and dirty mid-month ask right now, because things are going fast and furious, I have to do some deliveries to nursing homes as part of our lace on Race Outreach, so I am doing this voice to text and hoping that a lack of purple prose will not inhibit those of you who are invested in the maintaining and sustainability of the space from action. This is the sixth month in a row we have not met goal. And last month we were at about half of goal, in part because of Holly, but also in part because this community allowed Holly to be influential. We have seen more people oh, we have had exponentially more engagement, but we have not seen that translate into Financial engagement. That’s just true. And it’s deeply concerning. And I don’t know another creative way of asking you all to step up. I’m going to do probably another ask, a prettier ask, a more plaintive ask, because that is what is expected of me if I have any hope of meeting even our barebones budget of $9,000. Which we did not meet last month. I am saying this to each of you. No matter what color you are, or how you identify. If this space is important to you please support it. Thank you for your reading of this quick and dirty, and utterly candid mid-month ask. Sustainers, and sustainers in training, and any of you who are currently in the bistro, if you have not met your financial commitment for March, or even for February as well, please consider doing so. For those of you who pay all a cart, I hope you will take what I said in too deep consideration and seriously consider supporting this space that you consume.

I am including a picture of my front field so as to enhance pageviews. If you have seen this, no matter what action you decide to take regarding Financial engagement, please mark done or seen or some such. Again, thank you.
