As I settle down for my cup of tea before bed, my thoughts begin to settle. Its been a day of peace, calm, quiet for me. I've enjoyed good food, lovely drinks, good company. I've enjoyed warmth, comfort, peace. That is privilege. I am very thankful for what I have. I don't have much, my bank account is often low, my heating is rarely on, my health is horrendous and I am seeing signs of my teenage health problems appearing for my son. Despite all of that, I am so very rich. I have a roof over my head, plenty of food, my books and crafts, a son I enjoy spending time with and he enjoys his time with me. I have some wonderful friends on the fediverse who brighten my days and keep me connected to the world. I have everything I need. I'm thinking of those that don't have these things. I have spent many years struggling, and in those times of need, people have helped me, for them, I am always thankful. They helped me keep a roof over my head, to give my son Christmas, to keep me alive when I didn't think I would make it. I'm proud to have been able to pay it forward a little this year.
Time to finish this cup of tea and then head to bed with the hot water bottles, cats and a good book.
Thank you, and good night.

As @FreddieJ comes to the end of his time with the Newsmast Foundation team, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate all he's achieved.

Freddie has been with us since the start, from the original idea and through the many evolutions that have grown Newsmast.

Instrumental in building our relationships with others in this space, he has helped build the Foundation into what you see today.

We really hope that Freddie will stay involved in the Social Web, especially in areas of advocacy and policy where he excels.

But, for now, we just want to say a huge thank you 🧡

@aram @icymi_law
Please thank you brother for me.

As I’ve experienced life I’ve begun to appreciate the work that public servants perform and I now recognize that the service is mostly thankless.

So, #thankyou.

I want to take a moment to recognize mas.to, and their whole admin/mod team. I know it's a big decision to move away from open registration, and one that took a lot of discussion, but your response to the situation has been nothing short of stellar.

So thank you. Thank you for making Fedi a safer place for everyone, and thank you especially for focusing on your existing communities. I hope they know how much work y'all put in to keep things running as smoothly as they do.

Cheers 💕
