We've got something of a tradition developing here for the holidays. I think it began when Onomastic, persuasive soul that she is, suggested this fantastic community give each other subscriptions to Daily Kos. Or maybe it was smileycreek. Well, the idea really took off and what fun it was to receive a gift subscription! I remember so vividly the email I got saying an anonymous someone had purchased a subscription for me. So I turned it around and bought a bunch of subscriptions for other Kossacks. I found out two years later who that Secret Santa was when he finally confessed to me. I had had no idea who could have been so nice.
So my favorite twins, mconvente and mattc129, contacted belinda ridgewood Saturday. They have been the lucky recipients of her generous gift each year as college students. This year they wanted to pay it forward and are looking for suggestions for who might want a subscription. Thus, this diary is born. And, as in year's past, other donors are likely out there and happy to quash the ad experience of a loyal reader.
So if you're tired of the ads slowing your computer down but can't afford a subscription, give us your name in the comments and we'll keep a list in this mothership diary. I can't promise that everyone will get taken care of, but let's give it shot. The Daily Kos Community is quite amazing.

Suggestions from the comments:
The way I've found past recipients (13+ / 0-)
is as I'm reading along and really enjoying a person's diary or comment I just take a quick peek at their profile. If they didn't have a sub then I'd gift them anonymously. So now as I'm reading I'm checking profiles again.
I got to make ericlewis0 a lifer a couple of years ago, which I only told him about recently. It made me day/week/year to support such a creative and awesome kossack!
