This is as close to a cry for help that you'd see from me. I need work. I need money for shelter and food in the meantime. I've run out.

We should have been writing articles and having fun with CSS, but instead... We can't do much against big corporations (except wait), so let's give Geoff some support. Share (or try) his HTML/CSS course: thebasics.dev 100% human-made by the one who edited 86945 CSS articles!

@css-tricks.bsky.social is once again stuck in an arbitrary suspension at the hands of DigitalOcean's radio silence. It is devastating to see such a brilliant publication treated so very poorly. The current situation: vale.rocks/micros/20260...

I've been writing for @css-tricks.bsky.social for almost 3 years along @geoffgraham.me , aka the best editor ever. Lately, things have been a little slow on the site. I think everyone deserves an explanation, but Geoff especially deserves one from DigitalOcean.

Because I haven't published anything to it since August 31. And no one else has either. That's not a super long time to go silent but it is for a site that

It might be too early to really get into it, but I thought everyone should know that CSS-Tricks is mostly in limbo (again). @digitalocean.com, pay your staff (or at least respond). geoffgraham.me/why-css-tric...

sure is fascinating to hear that DigitalOcean can’t pay a few writers at the same time that they’re handing millions of dollars to DHH for a pile of shitty bash scripts
Geoff Graham@geoffgraham.me · 4w ago📝 Why CSS-Tricks Has Been Quiet Lately (cc: @digitalocean.com @css-tricks.bsky.social ) geoffgraham.me/why-css-tric...
Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.
