 14 March 19 A Real Live Funding Emergency
We’re not getting any donations/funding. The response is far lower than we can normally depend on. It’s causing major problems. Today looks bad early.
We will host 20K readers today. If 50 people donate, we’ll be fine. Difficult to understand the problem.
With urgency.
