Matt Baer<p>As always, this community is financially supported by my tiny company, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://writing.exchange/@write_as" class="u-url mention">@<span>write_as</span></a></span>, so we'll always be able to keep the lights on. But for now we'll have to fall back on that funding until we can make up for this shortfall.</p><p>Ultimately though, we always want to keep this community independently funded directly by the people who share and socialize here.</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingExchange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritingExchange</span></a></p>
