Dan Silverman, Citizen of the District of Columbia
This new world we’re living in is still taking shape but the realities of what’s coming are well known. It is no secret that a sledgehammer is coming to hit me and other local media too. I have been really lucky in that I have a little safety net due to those who’ve already been Patreon supporters. Since I am a one man show you guys are my only safety net, there is nobody else to fall back on. These past days have been a blur as I try to manage the site, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram…and my kids. But through it all I’ve seen good humor, support and amazing bonds that have been built over 13 years. These past days have shown that we are an amazing community and we have each others back.
For those who’ve already had my back I can’t thank you enough. Times are about to get way tougher. For many obviously. But if you have found PoPville to be a valuable resource, and you have a steady job with a steady paycheck and only if that’s the case, please consider contributing so that our community will not be in jeopardy in the future. Fortunately we are a HUGE community – so if enough of us give only $2 or $5 a month or whatever you feel comfortable giving it will make a huge difference. Like always, we will get through this together. Thank you. Please be safe and hope to see many of you on the other side toasting the insanity we have just endured, together.
