The year prior I wrote a poem called “Anniversary of a Server Made For Us” which I’ll link below “ along with the BIPOC Fur Twitter. This year I decided to write another poem in celebration of a space that feels like a little more than just another discord server but I digress. Was a little more free form with this as opposed to my more typically rhyming poems and also went for a bit of a different angle of appreciation. Seriously can’t recommend the server enough if you’re able to join( an invite is in the twitter link).

Bueno\u0026nbsp;  \n  \nIt’s been two years now and that’s an achievement to be sure\u0026nbsp;  \nFor two years now a place has been open to make a frequently disenfranchised group have a space  \nA space where people can chat, share and swap stories in a place that’s homey and chill  \nA place that many of its members have described as being like a cookout\u0026nbsp;  \nMeaning that it’s where they can relax and vibe and feel like they don’t have to be on the lookout\u0026nbsp;  \nOf course that kind of atmosphere while important isn’t everything there\u0026nbsp;  \nAs I said it’s also a place to share and just enjoy what to the table others bring\u0026nbsp;  \nWhich is a lot and a subject I’ve gushed about before\u0026nbsp;  \nBut between last year and now this place has only grown and developed even more\u0026nbsp;  \nNew things have been added and new friends have decided to stop by and stay\u0026nbsp;  \nWith so much talent and friendliness to go around it makes sense people do\u0026nbsp;  \nAlong with all the various parts of it that always keep things busy and offer ways to entertain\u0026nbsp;  \nJust like at a cookout though you don’t have to be involved and contribute to absolutely every table\u0026nbsp;  \nIt’s enough for you to be there and whenever you want you can kick back and take it easy  \nAs for me, I’m proud to be part of the team that keeps things chill and running\u0026nbsp;  \nIt can be a lot of work but it’s worth it and after all this time I think I’ve gotten it down\u0026nbsp;  \nBesides I’m part of a team so I usually don’t have to just handle things alone\u0026nbsp;  \nAfter all how can you have cookout vibes if you’re doing your best to help each other  \nSo that’s what we do and I feel proud in that and how it feels like we manage it like no other\u0026nbsp;  \nNo other server that is for that is what we truly are\u0026nbsp;  \nAnd yet also a lot more as many can attest to about we’re offering out here\u0026nbsp;  \nNot everybody can say that because cookout’s still need to have rules for who’s invited\u0026nbsp;  \nStill even those who unfortunately can’t be there can still watch from afar  \nTo get examples of what we do and who we are\u0026nbsp;  \nI only hope we can keep the good vibes rolling and the place comfy to be in and secure  \nWe’ve made it to two years already and ahead I feel confident I can see more\u0026nbsp;  \nHere’s to what’s ahead, the present and all that came before and has kept us going\u0026nbsp;  \nI really want us to continue positively glowing and growing all throughout the coming years.\n\n\u0026nbsp;"}
