2 Wonderful folks answer the call to minnow service! A thank you note to @berniesanders and @stitchybitch!

The Minnow Support Project is never that far away from people willing to help us and support the project. We're a completely public, highly transparent, community project with a service mission and the broader Steemit community knows we're doing good. This account has made 40k votes to thousands of users giving away tens of thousands in earnings. We've been on the platform 2 months. Quite frankly, if you're a minnow and you're not part of the Minnow Support Project you're Steeming wrong.

Bernie

Bernie has a mixed rep in this community. He's a vigilante swinging his SP to fight abuse on Steemit of which there's plenty. He mocks those he finds abusing the system. There's a touch of the idgaf and 4thelulz attitude that comes along with his disposition. Crypto in general is the wild west of the modern world. He's not the hero anyone expected, but to date in a lot of ways he's the guy we've needed. You need a thick skin to enter the flag game, you need some giant whale balls, and you have to have a sense of justice and desire to help the little guy.

Bernie could be upvoting his own shit comments every day and pulling thousands from the platform. Instead he helps other people. He created @randowhale as an inexpensive voting bot which helps get lesser known minnows off to a great start. I know he's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way on this platform, but for the folks that don't know he's been a giant pillar of support especially among the Minnow community. You've probably gotten votes from his alts, of which there are many, I know I have on multiple occasions when I was starting.

I asked him to help us since we've recently lost 70k in delegation as @benjojo pulls starts powering down for personal financial reasons. Again Bernie answered the call to service to help this platform and support minnows. He's very generously delegated 15k SP. To the people he flames and downvotes he's hated, but to a lot of minnows he's frankly adored. I think he's a passionate advocate for Steemit and as I mentioned before he's a tender heart and a dedicated asshole. Bernie, thank you, this delegation will help thousands of Minnows on the platform get off to a stronger start and be a draw for our community!

Stitchy

@stichybitch received final confirmation today on becoming a moderator in the Minnow Support Project. She's charming, funny, a little raunchy, and really beloved by the community. She's active in chat, supports cooky authors, and has won a lot of support from other moderators and witnesses for her humor, kindness, and touch of naughty. She recently had her story about "The Legend of Swamp Ass" read by @isaria on Isaria's MSP Waves Radio show. I was laughing out loud at the quality of the reading and off the wall comedy of the writing.

Stichy, we're grateful to have you on the team as a moderator. You're going to continue to do great things in here and help spread the mission of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty. We're thrilled and we're so lucky to have you. Thank you for answering the call to service. Many minnows will benefit from your decision!
