Hi everyone,

We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic.

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

My brother had to go pee, but the cat was sleeping on his arm. I sacrificed my hand.

My littlest is like a Roomba that docks - she always backs her butt to me. I was just taking a breather before doing chores & laundry, but Spicy needs a recharge. Guess we'll watch murder shows until she's fully charged.

They've been on my legs for over 3 hours now. Every now and again they'll get up and I think I'm free but they just rearrange themselves and flop back down lol

She thinks just because she's made a miraculous recovery from a head trauma she can now take us hostage all willy-nilly :/ (she's right)
