Hey remember me saying how great @nightlightpod.bsky.social is? The creator could use a little help going back to school for a more stable career. I think we all have friends who can testify how brutal tech burnout is, and how much difference even a little help while recovering can make.

Have y'all listened to NightLight? It's phenomenal. I like to recommend folks start with The Power by Linda Addison or Malaika Descending by Sheree Renee Thomas

Wow, y’all are quick with the reposts! Thank you!

If you want to share, here’s a tip: tell your followers why you think they should donate in a repost πŸ–€ People are more likely to take action that way, but if you only have time for a quick RP, I’m still super grateful.
