For those of you who rarely go to the Lounge

Kentuck, a wonderful DUer, has posted a heartbreaking post there. I know that I just happened upon it this morning. He is basically a founding member of DU (since 2001), and he needs support from all of us now.

I bring up the home page, look at Trending, Greatest, Latest Breaking News.

After reading/commenting from these, I may go to "Latest" to try and promote topics that catch my eye. (Please, post writers, make your titles descriptive!).

I don't visit forums specifically. If there's one or two I think are worthwhile (Science, etc.) I'll add it to my subscribe list.

It would be interesting to me to see how others get their DU feeds.

In the lounge. My heart breaks for him.

I was telling my husband those of us that have been on this board for over 20 yrs we are like family.

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.

Tell me more...
