Howdy folks!
It’s Tommy time! Community Liaison ThatTommyBoii reporting for newsletter duty!
Happy pride month, folks! There’s a lot of nuance to this month as it means different things to different folks, so remember to celebrate and take action as best suited to you!
The header image is a screenshot of our nether hub on our flagship vanilla server, Deep Slate Nine! Server member Kindalas built the hub, and according to him the 408 beacons used are maybe 5% of his supply. Thank you Kindalas for helping the server celebrate!
Joe’s been very busy the past week or so, and so I’d like to apologize for information that is lacking in this newsletter. Once we’ve got Joe up to date with his tasks we can get that to you in next week’s newsletter, so until then please take this image as an apology.
I’m ready to usher in the rest of pride month and this newsletter with love and acceptance, so let’s get to it!
