Daily Kos is a community — and over the years community members have rallied to help those Kossacks who may be in need of financial support. Many of us also interact off site, or have met at meet-ups and at Netroots Nation. Today I’d like to ask for your support for Kossack BF Skinner.
Though I did get a chance to meet BF Skinner face-to-face at NN in Minneapolis, that isn’t the place where we have often interacted in the past. We play World of Warcraft together. He on his trusty warlock, and me on my mage have battled ogres and demons together. He is no longer playing — since he can’t afford it — he is currently battling real-life demons of both ill-health and the bureaucratic obstacles of trying to get qualified for Social Security Disability.
We are both members of a World of Warcraft Guild, called the Wreck List (heh- guess where that name came from) that was launched by Moody Loner right here at Daily Kos. We have a weekly diary series. We are an amazing group of over 900 political players — we are one of the few WoW Guilds that is explicitly anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-ageist, anti-homophobic and anti-transphobic. Our politics are part of our play-style. Our membership is diverse — and we are united in carrying a strong progressive message into the world of gaming.
We are horde (but we also have an Alliance guild called “Left-winged Conspiracy”)
Whether you game or not — we ask you today to join us and become part of a horde of support — to help BF get over the hump and survive till his court hearing in January.
For the horde and BF Skinner (aka Cloudcash), who could use an infusion of cash from friends and our Dkos family!
Thank you in advance. See details on how to donate and links below.
