Thank you to everyone who donated in December! The holiday season is always slow here and I wasn't sure what would happen, but you showed up for us and it means a lot.

8 people made donations via our Substack.
Our site funding goal was $1,000 and you donated $1,180.
In 2022 we raised funds for 8 months. In that time we met our goal of covering those month's expenses, saved up some funds so we can run for 3 months even if we're cut off, and we raised some funds to pay back our debt from before we raised funds. We have to figure out taxes, but we may have raised enough to lower that debt by 10 percent! We've been raising funds for less than a third of our existence so that's amazing! Thank you so much to everyone who helped.
Donations are our only source of funding. We're not selling your attention to advertisers or selling your data to third parties like other websites. Our only responsibility is to our members and that's really the only way I can imagine doing this. Thank you so much for making that possible. Here's to another year!
Wow, I didn't realise you accumulated debt in order to keep the website running. That's dedication. Thank you so much.
Y'all are wonderful! You give us all hope! Will be donating this month!
Mods, would it be possible for you to tell us how much the debt amount is? Maybe we can do a separate fundraiser just for that? Users who haven't or do not regularly donate may rally up to contribute to paying off the debt.
