This means a lot.

Not because of a plaque, but because it reflects the work we’ve been doing here together.

We built this community on independence, authenticity, and standards. Not cheat codes and hacks.

Thank you to every DIYer who’s been part of this journey.

And salute to my DIYer community for this gift.

I had the opportunity to catch up with ‪@absafcknlutely‬ today, and we had a long overdue, honest conversation about where things went wrong.

Some of what escalated could have been avoided with better communication and care on my end as a content creator. I want to publicly acknowledge that.

Absa runs one of the most informative, culturally sharp commentary channels on YouTube, and her work speaks for itself. I regret any unnecessary harm or pressure my Lupe AI reaction may have caused her or her space last year.

While I don’t control how others choose to act online, I do take responsibility for being more intentional about how stories are covered and how conversations are framed. That’s on me.

I have nothing but respect for Absa’s voice, strength, and resilience, and I appreciate her taking the time to talk things through with me directly.
