Awww, Sady! Editing your writing was a total breeze! I hope to do more of it someday, and I am beyond glad that Tiger Beatdown will be continuing. You are super.

@Erin: That makes some sort of sense! Right now we are waitlisted for consideration with some folks. I don’t know when that waitlist status changes, so in the meantime direct fundraising and merchandising seem like our best options.

I think I’ll wait until after ads are up to donate. Right now, I feel like I’d be donating to keep the site ad free, and I don’t care whether a site is ad free.

We are a community. The more I read/write here in the blog-world, the more I realize that. We depend on one another, we draw strength from one another. We support and up lift and occasionally call one another out.
And we love you, Sady. The Community has spoken!
We are BEGGING YOU to let us throw money at you.
You are awesome. You are smart and funny and just the right combination of cynical and hopeful. You frequently rescue me from a job where I am one of two women and the men don’t think very much of us. You are tough and humble and gutsy and you’ve seriously changed my life. You’ve given me the strength to own my feminism, the courage to drastically alter my circumstances by speaking up when bad shit happens.
You have drastically improved my quality of life.
Own it. Post a permanent “Donate” button when you can. Let us pay you for something you clearly deserve money for.

Its rare that something you read really changes how you perceive the world. Its rarer still when that something is constantly updated and hilarious! Lets keep you in business, lady!

Coffee mugs with select snippets of blog post printed around the outside!

Then when I have guests over they can pretend to be listening to me and instead get to experience your blog.

…and then they’ll be hooked, subscribe, donate, and buy coffee mugs of their own.

I was happy to help out what I could. When I first read Tiger Beatdown, I was more than just blown away by your wit, wisdom, and creative use of expletives–I also realized that there might be a way for me to say some of my own things as well, a way where I could talk about my life without being personal, and a way to use my experiences to provide a window on the things I’m most passionate about.

I learned that from you, Sady. And I’m still learning. Most days, I don’t ever get anywhere close to what you do, and those are still good days for me.

It is an honor to post here, and it has been ever since that first day when I came in and you’d thoughtfully left a box of freshly sharpened exclamation points on my desk.

Also, I look forward to the vast merchandising empire for Tiger Beatdown, including a C.L. Minou “It’s all about Teh Tranz” coffee mug.
