Feb 2024

i'm not sure how many times i clicked on the "out of service" link. it still wasn't as bad as that horrific night in November 2016.

DU has been my online home since the gw years. It's still the place to go for validation, information, and comfort. Just today I saw 2 posts on the front page that immediately let me know I am not the only one deeply disturbed (driven to despair?) by what the SC did yesterday. Both posters stated how they had not slept last night.
