Hey friends,
I get asked time to time if there's anything I need or a way they can help support me, so I put together an Amazon wish list. It's mostly tech stuff—nothing urgent, just things that would be genuinely useful in the work that I do.
No pressure at all, but if you feel like helping, here it is:

And last of all, after another stressful week, a helpful reminder from @TheConversationUS about the benefits of gratitude, why it’s harder to practice in difficult times, and why we should still persevere. “The negative doesn’t need help gaining attention, but the positive might,” writes Monica Y. Bartlett, Professor of Psychology at Gonzaga University.

Just read Ryan Szrama's thoughts on free software compensation. It's a great reminder that true impact often transcends financial reward. His perspective that "seeing a project propagate is its own kind of reward" resonates deeply with my values of generosity and contentment. In a world fixated on monetization, there's something profound about creating value without expecting immediate returns.

ryanszrama.comThe Moral Imperative to Compensate Free Software Authors | Ryan SzramaDoesn't exist. I don't know if this was ever common knowledge, but it's certainly not a new idea. Free software, per the Free Software Foundation, is only free if people are free to redistribute it commercially without having to pay the author. In a sense, every time you build a Drupal site for someone else for a fee, you are charging to distribute free software to them that was authored by other people while providing additional services to tailor it to their needs.
