A love meme, in words & deeds

[kaberett]

The thing that's stuck with me most, from every Dreamwidth love meme I've ever participated in, is being told you make things seem more possible.

You make things seem more possible.

Please nominate yourselves; please nominate each other; comments are screened, and I'll unscreen and make up an index as we go.

Hello. I love you.

Love your book All the Fishes etc. and have recently really loved your posts on Lynn Cox.

Re: jjunter

[illariy]

Love your poetry-associated work! ♥

I've learned so much from your psychology posts and discussions. In particular I'd like to flag up the "little match girl" post, which I printed out and showed to my therapist, and the interchange I had with you about disability employment. You inspired me to roll up my sleeves and give government employment services one more chance, on my own terms. This... wasn't a success, but I'm glad to have done it, and now I have concrete reasons I can give anyone who asks for why I'm not taking that route. And subsequent word of mouth has pointed me to somewhere else that might help.

And just today, your post about diagnosis and clinical psychologists vs psychiatrists might save someone else from the bullshit I went through years ago.

I like how you negotiate the gaps between lived experience and theory in your work, how you talk about that.

Also, your "other people's cats" posts are really great -- both the reasoning behind it and the pictures you reblog.

Re: watersword, she/her

[vass]

I just had a look at your journal, and am adding you to my reading list because I like your book reviews. :)

Re: aella_irene, she/her

[davidgillon]

I've been missing your posts. That says something.

Re: nanila

[davidgillon]

Not to mention clearly excellent parenting!

Re: serpentine, he/him

[serpentine]

Thank you.

[davidgillon]

Love having you in my DW circle for great posts, interesting reviews, and just for surviving all the crap life's thrown at you recently.

<3 we're gonna make it through this year.

Re: silveradept (they/them)

[rynia]

You are very sweet, and were a delight to meet yourself.

Re: bethany_lauren | she/she

[rootsofthestories]

You bring light into people's lives, including mine and I am so pleased to say I know you.

(Are you sick of hearing this yet? I hope not 'cause I plan to keep telling you)

Re: staranise, she/her/hers

[cadenzamuse]

The way you view the world is really compassionate and open, especially considering some of the shit you've been through and the level of burnout you currently have. I also desperately cling to everything you say about how valuable it is to be a mentally ill therapist and how breaking down the Us Vs. Them mentality in behavioral health is profoundly positive for the world.

I also have been absolutely delighted to share a fandom with you recently: everything from watching Flashpoint together to not!ficcing to sharing headcanons to just reading what you write.

(Also, you would not believe how many times at school I have repeated something I learned from you, with a "I have a colleague in Alberta who is a trauma therapist, and she says..." Guaranteed way to make a class discussion better.)

Basically, I totally fangirl you and am glad that we are friends.

[redbird]

I love the way you tell stories.

Re: kaberett, they/them/their

[sfred]

I love you for (many things including) your generosity of self - of ideas and skills and time and caring.

Re: hollymath, she/her

[sfred]

I love you because you are Holly. Because of your brain and your heart and your humour and your lovingness.

Re: nanila

[sfred]

Nanila is brilliant - her enthusiasm for her areas of expertise is utterly infectious, and she's brilliant at making them comprehensible.

[el_staplador]

You're a person of great integrity and courage. I'm glad to know you.

... who has done a very great deal of explaining my brain to me via the medium of fiction, and whose insights on How Monkeys Even are a perpetual source of comfort and relief, and who generally does a magnificent job of making me feel like there is, in point of fact, space in the world for People Like Me.

Re: alexseanchai, they/their/them

[alexseanchai]

I am, in fact, fucking terrified, and the only reason I'm not curled under a pile of blankets right now is my bedroom's too warm for that (at least with these pajamas on), but yeah. ♥

Librarians are vital, and your information gathering and information dissemination is excellent. ♥!
