It’s been 24 hours since @TexasObserver’s GoFundMe has been up, and it’s reached $140,000 of its $200,000 goal, which is already a stretch from its original $100,000.

I hope this convinces their board to continue their work.

But even if it doesn’t, what this should tell every journalist is that, not only does the Fediverse value journalism, crowdfunding through the Fediverse is a viable way to support journalist initiatives.

This is a path forward.
