Re: El Staplador, she/her

[kaberett]

Your writing is laugh-out-loud funny, for me, tempered with wryness, along with being brilliantly done; I appreciate your insight and your work for change and your integrity; and I very much enjoy your appreciation of beauty.

Re: alexseanchai, they/them

[kaberett]

I admire, so much, your creativity and your commitment and your compassion and your patience. <3

I miss having the brain to bounce poetry around with you. I am hoping it will reappear.

Re: ewt, she/her

[kaberett]

You feel, in many ways, like an anchor: yes you have uncertainty and difficulty and doubt but you are tenacious and you act with integrity and compassion and care, and I am so grateful for your mentorship and advocacy and support.

I admire all of the work you do, on yourself and with and for others. <3

[alexseanchai]

*blush*

I hope so too! I miss seeing new poetry from you :)

Re: Steorra

[kaberett]

I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness and your openness to solemn consideration (and your sharing of the results thereof); I enjoy reading about your life and your relationships and your enthusiasms.

Hi, um. Not sure how this works, feel kinda self-conscious. 'm not the only one who uses this journal, but it's primarily me. Tri. Them/They.

[alexseanchai]

The deal is, you leave a comment so people can reply to your thread with awesome things about you and/or heart emoji, and hopefully they do that, and hopefully also you leave comments to other folks' threads with awesome things about them and/or heart emoji. And then you check back every so often to see what folks have said to you, and you roll around in all the love. (This tends to work better if you link your thread to your existing readers, mind.)

Self-consciousness sucks. Kudos for bravery!

Yeah, sounds it. *offers hugs*

I’ve always respected your maturity and advice – both the quality, and the kindness with which it’s been given. When I’ve needed it, you’ve been very supportive.

I’m glad to see that karma is paying off – it’s been lovely to see things improving with you and your new partner. I know some of the logistics have been hard, but it’s nice to watch the general increase in happiness. (And speaking of relationships, I have a copy of http://azurelunatic.dreamwidth.org/7734560.html stuck to my wall labelled “profound advice”.)

*sends love and hugs*

Always impressed by your ability to read, nay, _consume_ books. And while the circumstances aren’t always pleasant, I always like seeing your tweets about ace politics. I go back to them on days when I’m feeling small about that stuff, and it’s reassuring to see somebody else standing up for ace folks!

Re: kaberett, they/them

[alexwlchan]

I appreciate your ability to self-reflect on your life and relationships. I’m glad you’re running this thread (even if I arrived several months late!) And I admire your ability to use that self-reflection to effect change and improvements.

And we need to sort out coffee/lunch!
