😎 Check in time. What say ye, my lovely loners?

“Self-care is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” Audre Lorde

Even a few minutes can make a difference… and are very much worth it. 🧡

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
