I'm also an Executive & Professional Assistant Contractor at Effective Ventures Operations
(Views my own)
I drafted/private my shortform about asking for people's input about the perspectives I had with the current issues on my own because I need to take a break from the forum and focus on the real + still impactful work I'm doing. Plus, counterfactually, I estimate there's a 70% chance someone else will post something similar and better written anyway.

"wth, why comic sans"
"oh, haha funny"
*try find more funny in the community tab
*sees Nathan's post about the new time article
*sad, confused, dizzy huhu
*comic sans softened the blow though
"ty online team."
"drama curfew when?"
Also, I love the gel sleeping mat was mentioned because I also recommend that to people (alongside an affordable memory foam topper). It really helps with sleep, general sharpness, mood and electricity bills!
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I love how this was written too. It's in a way where I don't feel like something is being sold to me and it's just a genuine reflection of why EA is still really wonderful.
I at times honestly forget why this movement/community is uniquely valuable. But when I remember, they're enough to keep me hopeful again. As you mentioned, being truly empowered, taking corrective actions are the norm, collective learning etc. all these aspects of the community/movement are still here. They help reassure me that we will continue to do better. Thank you for sharing and helping remind us all.
A very valid concern. Thankfully, if I'm not mistaken, the moderators block troll votes (70% confidence) and have done so already in the past (50% confidence).
@EA_ProjectForAwesome this might be the right link? Project For Awesome 2023
This link leads to no videos found btw. It goes to https://projectforawesome.com/?charity=yDkfNPdY plus %C2%A0
Also, should be okay if I tell my community here that I treat them to lunch/dinner if they vote, right?
Woah! So happy to see this! DFTBA!
I don't know how to say this well but FWIW, what a great community you helped build that you can even be this honest and vulnerable to us. From the many communities I'm part of, sharing these struggles and prioritizing the greater good over personal status/gain is unheard of. Even with the most progressive ones. I don't hear or see these actions, especially from the leadership of the movement/community. I'm honestly shocked. Thank you for placing our community's impact first.
I also can't help but still be in awe of the many great things our community has done and the real progress we cautiously make to do better. Thank you for your part in that.
We're sad to see you go but I'm glad you're taking care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon.
I am sooo happy to see this! Thank you CE for your great work as usual!
+1 for policy people
