Good Morning, Steemit! Fri, June 30th

Good morning, Steemit family! (Even though it's almost 9pm.)

Today is Freebie Friday! There's a little over three hours left to make your art requests for this week!

I'm really thrilled with how @marxrab's tuxedo cat request came out.

I'm currently waiting to cash out my SBD, but the price keeps falling. Is this the result of the giant self-upvoting circlejerk? It really sucks. Some of us desperately need what we can earn on here, and I just see my earnings circling the drain before I can even cash them out. I'm trying to hold out hope for SBD to rise again, but it's also got me really worried.

Hey guys, if you reach out and interact with other people and upvote them, and contribute to conversation in comments, you'll actually end up earning more in the longterm. If you aren't in it for the long haul, maybe you just shouldn't be in it.

Anyways. I'll be launching a community tag and three contests here within the next hour or so.

And we have a Discord server! It'll be the headquarters for said community and contests. It's also the home of @marxrab's Steemit Diner, and @creativesoul's Clouds and Beanbag Chairs. There's also more content to come as the chat grows!

Speaking of @marxrab's Steemit Diner... Sometime tonight (or early morning) I plan on trying to build a version of her awesome Steemit Diner in one of my settlements in Fallout 4. I will livestream it when I get around to doing it.

A lot of stuff is happening around here. Stay tuned!
