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.

You have been so generous with your time and energy and emotional labour in the time I've known you, even at times when you can't have had much of it to spare, and when you've had plenty of experiences that could have taught you to be less kind.

You explain your subjects so clearly, and in a way that's not patronising or alienating, and the explanations have been so helpful to many people, including me. I like your books, and I also like your book reviews. You are one of the people who, after I get around to reading a genre book that was published a few years ago, I'll hit your tags up to see what you said about it, because I want to know.

In keeping with the theme of this post, there are two things in particular, one concrete and one abstract, that you make seem more possible, for me. The more concrete one is self-publishing. The advice and explanations you've given make it seem like hard work, not like a pie in the sky dream. And the more abstract one is, you make adapting and surviving seem possible, finding a new way forward when one path is blocked off in some ridiculous and unexpected way.

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

[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.

[redbird]

I love the way you tell stories.

I appreciate how clearly you explain concepts from psychology and show their application in lived experiences.

You're a great writer, a brilliant humourist, and a kind friend.

[mme_hardy]

You work immensely hard for justice, by organizing online, by working with trauma teams, by training as a therapist.

You are valuable when you can't do any of things. You speak your truth and never stop, whether it's pretty and socially acceptable or not. You're amazingly funny. You are tough as hell.

[cereta]

I really enjoyed your book, and your righteous anger at the medical system helps me keep mine alive.

[watersword]

I love reading your posts.

[rosefox]

You do so many things to ease the pain of other people, through your work and your writing and all those incidents that could only happen to Rachel. You run into the fire to pull other people out. Thank you.

[lferion]

You have made me smile during very dark times, clarified my thought on more than one issue (though of course I can't think of any specifics right now), and written stories that stay with me.

[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: recessional

Yes. Brilliant fiction, illuminating many aspects of How People Human.

I'm still going strong right now but have a feeling I'll need a boost in upcoming days. :x

And I used to be Jonquil, before insurance company shenanigans. Thank you so much.

[el_staplador]

I'm always glad to see your posts come up on my reading page; you write eloquently about very interesting things.

[yhlee]

Please.

I got to ~75% of the way through Ninefox Gambit yesterday and abruptly had to stop and stare at a wall for 30 seconds because I'd just realised why the message from the Shuos on the game map was shaped like a gear.

I have been Neglecting My Duties to burrow into this novel more generally, so unfortunately this comment is sooooooooomewhat focussed on that particular deed of yours, but I fucking adore how careful you are with the details and how coherent all the characters are and the way everything is (and isn't!) fitting together and What Motivates People; I've not yet got a ~~thorough analysis~~ or whatever, but I am so glad this book (along with all your short fiction!) exists, and I am so glad I have the brain to actually read at the moment.

I am especially adoring the servitors.

Just, ahhhh, first of all your generosity with writing and second of all your willingness to be ridiculous or imperfect or whatever in public and third of all how fucking soothing it is to read a book where I relax into the default assumption that any character whose gender hasn't been specified yet is probably female, and your sharing of your opinions and thoughts and fascinations, and you make a whole bunch of my friends and acquaintances very happy, and I am so glad that you exist and are gently readjusting my brain.

And I love reading about your relationship with your family, too, because... I have had a paucity of healthy familial interaction, and it is a balm to my soul to watch people like each other.

[rosefox]

Thank you for doing this. I'd like to self-nominate.

[(Anonymous)]

You are organized, caring, precise, measured, and very, very clear about what exists in your life, and why. I appreciate your boundaries, your thinking, and the mixture of the two.

Also, your kid is cute.

Re: sholio

[sgamadison]

I love this idea. I love that you shared it with us, too.

I love your enthusiasm over shows, and how you share that with us, getting us excited about them too. You develop meta, you make vids, you post fic recs.

I think that's just awesome, and I'm glad I know you

[newredshoes]

Gosh, please yes.

[watersword]

I love your Things I'm Verbing posts and always open them in a tab. I love how much you care about your industry and the world you live in. Also you're funny as hell.

Cesy, she

[cesy]

Okay, let's go for this.

Re: Cesy, she

[watersword]

You are delightful.
