Re: Gehayi

[alexseanchai]

She doooooes. She writes lots superb fic! Is always good to see an AO3 notif with her handle on!

Re: Chanter_greenie, she/her

[alexseanchai]

I see you're nearly due to donate blood again. (Heading for your four-gallon pin? Impressive. I have a one-gallon certificate, though I think lifetime I might be over two gallons by now, it's just that not all of it was donated in this state so this state hasn't record of it all. idk for sure, though, I lost count altogether.)

This is a thing I do not do as often as I should because it never fails to screw up the whole rest of my day and sometimes the next day too, but it is a fantastic thing to do! Way to go, literal lifesaver!

Re: kaberett, they/them

[davidgillon]

My life is better in every way for knowing you. Even physically!

Re: silveradept (they/them)

[quartzpebble]

You're still here, still kicking, have gotten through shit that no one should have to deal with, and are still going. Massive kudos. You've done and are doing such a hard thing, and I admire that.

Re: azurelunatic

[quartzpebble]

YAY. You've been incredibly supportive and I really appreciate that, and I am also delighted to observe the increase in happiness over the last year or so.

Re: azurelunatic

[silveradept]

You are closer to your goals, and to your partners, and to hopefully, better sleep on a more regular basis. You have accomplished much and greatly.

Re: kaberett, they/them

[untonuggan]

thank you for getting me to take my pain seriously, and helping me self-advocate, and offering me to be my "shouty crip advocate" across the Pond. It really really helped when dealing with medical shit. Like, I think maybe you morphed into a mental armor I conjure up for myself when I have to deal with that and don't have a shouty crip advocate in the room physically with me? So thank you.

Re: alexseanchai, they/them

[untonuggan]

I never get tired of hearing your ideas about paganism. All the love.

Re: pipisafoat/pip, sa or they

[untonuggan]

I really love your letters when I get them, they never fail to make me smile, and disability denials suck and I'm sorry you're dealing with that.

This is actually good motivation to upload some more cat photos to Flickr so I will do that and then link back? Yes.


the lastest photo of Amelie getting along with the other cats. Lily is trying her darnedest with "you should snuggle me and then we will be friends and then you will wash my ears". Amelie totally smelled her ear and it was progress, even though when Lily looked at her she got scared and hissed. (Lily then went back to sleep and Amelie did not run away, so this is GOOD.)

Way more cat photos on Flickr, currently sans photo descriptions because I am tired.

Re: shanaqui, they/them

[untonuggan]

your exam was awful but also now it's over! also thank you for helping me with personalized book recs when I finally got through enough brain fog to read fiction again. It was really helpful, because it was super intimidating to try to figure out what to read. <3

[worlds_of_smoke]

I know you're going through a rough time, but you all keep on fighting and that's admirable. <3

Re: balsamandash, they/them

[worlds_of_smoke]

I really admire how you keep going, even when your brain decides to throw you for a loop. You have such resolve to live. <3

Re: El Staplador, she/her

[el_staplador]

Thank you so much. I never get tired of hearing things like that.

Re: Chanter_greenie, she/her

[chanter1944]

First, <3! Thank you very much, fellow literal lifesaver; a gallon of blood donated is nothing whatsoever to sneeze at. As far as the tally goes, if your donations were through the Red Cross, they should be able to pull up a history of your prior donations regardless of location. Mine have all been within the same state, though not the same town or county, so I could be entirely wrong about their ability to pull records nationally... but it would make complete sense if they could. I have zero familiarity with other organizations and how they do things record keeping-wise, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry donation has a tendency to foul up the rest of the day for you, though. :(

So, so much better sleep.

And many other things.

Re: hollymath, she/her

[worlds_of_smoke]

I really love how politically active you are. <3

Re: sfred (they/them or xe/hir)

[sfred]

Thank you :-)

(I forgot to come back and check for comments!)

Re: sfred (they/them or xe/hir)

[sfred]

Aw, hurray :-)

I miss you too.

[analise010]

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!! The short version is: you rock.

The long version is: you started off as my tarot homie and now you're a True Bro. You always have time to signal boot for others and give so much to the peoople in your lives. Even so, you still know how to take care of yourself and pull back when it's necessary. ♥

Re: ses, they/them

[kaberett]

I am sorry you are having such an ongoing rough time of it.

I value immensely your activism and your creativity and your commitment to the world.

Re: shanaqui, they/them

[kaberett]

I am so sorry you're having such a rough time of it. <3

I love reading your talking-about-science. I am delighted that you are a source of rabbit pictures for me to show me_and. I enjoy your book squee.

And I feel less alone knowing that you exist, and I watch you being careful and considerate and wary and loving and I feel a bit more able to face the world. Thank you.

[kaberett]

Hello you. <3

I am grateful for your companionship and your mentorship and your trailblazing, and your wry and loving commentary on the world, and your support. I love seeing the things that you make. I love your participation in Clovember. I love that you are fierce and honest and brave, and that all of those thing coexist with your being exhausted and scared, and I love your honesty and your commitment to true-enough.

And I love how you care about people, and how you interact with landscapes, and your competence.

I am so glad to know you. <3
