The Chicago Board of Trade building anchors LaSalle Street in the financial district. It serves as headquarters for Bruce Wayne Enterprises in Batman:The Dark Knight.
$133 has been achieved which is the exact cost of internet plus overdraft. Y'all's math is solid! Thank you so much for the #MutualAid. Now let's go help the others! #ThankYou! :Blobhaj_Heart:
I am suddenly inundated by a bunch of comprehensive multi-page referee reports that show clear evidence of the papers having been read through carefully, with on point comments and even constructive suggestions for improvements. Three in the space of two weeks. What is going on?!
Vielen Dank an euch, wenn ihr uns Feedback und gute Bewertungen zulassen kommt!

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to someone I will refer to only by his first name, Gabriele. Many years ago, I was stuck in a job where I was exploited by my employer—the only one I had ever had. Gabriele, who attended one of my Linux courses about 20 years ago, saw my potential and offered me life-changing advice: 'You have a passion for what you do. Don't waste your time on someone who uses it only for their own profit. Start your own business, I'll help by introducing you to some of my clients, and we can offer the Open Source solutions that excite you so much. You're young enough to try.' I took the leap. It wasn't easy, but ultimately, I succeeded in doing the work I love and choosing the technical solutions I prefer. I'm not a great salesman and often charge too little, feeling almost guilty for asking people to pay for something I enjoy so much. But tonight, I want to say thank you to Gabriele. He might not read this, but my gratitude remains.
Thanks – to the countless software developers and contributors who rarely, or never, receive a personal thank-you.
Some of the most challenging projects can trigger unfairly negative responses, when positive updates are offered. To the few developers who are bold and generous enough to take on these extraordinary challenges: a very special thank-you. You know who you are.
And anyone else who likes, boost, and actually listen to what we do at @labr I speak for ALL In the Collective. Active & Inactive, that we GREATLY appreciate You.

Thank you to all of you, among these 15 million accounts, who have helped make this a wonderful place to be.
Mein herzliches Dankeschön geht an einen Kunstsammler in Burgdorf für den Erwerb eines Leinwanddruckes meines Acrylgemäldes "Kleines Rotkehlchen" via Art Heroes. Möge es dir viel Freude bringen.
Leider erfahre ich bei Käufen über die Print-on-demand-Agenturen wie Art Heroes oder Fine Art America nur den Ort des Käufers, aber nicht, wer das Bild gekauft hat, so dass ich mich leider nicht persönlich bedanken kann.

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to the entire open-source community. Past, present, and future. I owe so much to what many developers, sysadmins, enthusiasts have built and maintained. I've always believed that culture should be free and accessible to all, and the OSS community has made it possible to study, learn, and implement complex and professional solutions without the need for closed systems, licenses, or expensive "certification" courses.
Getting another molar pulled on Wednesday. I'll need dentures this year & need #MutualAid help to pay for them - no medical coverage for dentures. I have only few molars left.
My #medical#fundraiser update -
$730 raised of $4,205 goal • 14 donations total.
THANK YOU, to everyone who donated to my medical fundraiser! THANK YOU, to everyone who shared my link!
I can call to book appointment with denturist to start on getting full set of dentures made. I have another dentist appointment today to extract another molar & plan for rest of extractions.
Very grateful for the kindness & mutual aid support! Alleviates stress & anxiety💗
Please consider supporting Debora Kayeme's new campaign for the Democratic Republic of Congo, if you haven't already. Even the smallest amount of support will do a very long way. Thank you 🥰
