[introductions] whoever you are, no matter how lonely

[kaberett]

Quoted from liv, the inventor:

If you would like to, please comment to this post, and I'll introduce you to everybody else by giving a reason why I think you're great. Some people I know better than others, so I can't promise all my introductions will exactly encapsulate why someone might want to get to know you. You're also welcome to comment to someone else's thread and ask for a specific introduction to that person; I know some people are more confident than others about just jumping in and introducing themselves to a stranger. I am also happy to matchmake if you would like that; ask me for a recommendation of a personal journal and / or community from my circles.

And of course, feel free to repost this game in your own journal, if you think it would be a good way to make connections between some of your people. I think this could go quite well if it spreads a few hops away from here, but also worth doing even if no-one picks it up.

Tagged "love meme" because, well, in its way it is, just taken slightly skew; post prompted by the presence of a beloved colleague & collaborator.

Great idea! Me, please. I'm excited to know more of your friends.

CAT. Cat is the aforementioned colleague & collaborator. Phe calls me on my shit, lets me work it out in conversation, challenges me, gives me solidarity, takes care of me... I can't even. AND phe writes amazing beautiful prose snippets - and occasionally longer pieces - to share with the wider world. Phe gives of perself apparently endlessly - whether it's (solicited!) health tips or organising vaginapagina stuff or reccing books or offline activism or "just" providing support/commiseration/laughs. Per community (and community-building) work is nothing short of phenomenal. Phe is pretty new to DW & looking to meet folk who are primarily over here -- if you want more specific high praise as to why you particularly might want to get to know per, please do just ask.

Gosh, I don't know what to say to all of this. <3 <3 <3

Thank you, though, for all of it. I struggle a lot with feeling like I am doing "enough" in various ways, and I am way glad that you see what I do manage as valuable.

I think we might get on if you're interesting in circling.

[barrelofrain]

Sure! I just added you.

[surpassingly]

I would like to add you, if I may please?

[barrelofrain]

Sorry, I missed this way back then! I've added you. <3
