Haggis, she/her

[haggis]

Yes please.

Lots of things seem scary, lots of people I love feel fragile. I lost my religious faith and most of my belief in people's inherent goodness - the thing I cling to is a belief that we will do best by spreading kindness as widely as possible. (Spreading kindness is not incompatible with rage, anger and grief.)

hollymath, she/her

[cosmolinguist]

Oh look, it's me. :)

kaberett, they/them

[kaberett]

I am identifying and articulating and enforcing boundaries. I am finding ways to take care of myself that build community. I am facing up to a bunch of stuff that scares me, and doing it anyway, on a wide variety of fronts, and it's helping me believe that I can keep going and keep making a difference.

Hope in the dark of uncertainty, and that.

thebonesofferalletters, they/them

[rootsofthestories]

This would be nice, yes.

Even now, in this place where my brain feels like a heaping pile of rabid wolves, I appreciate the kindness of others and wish to spread good things myself. Thank you for doing this.

[rootsofthestories]

Thank you for persisting and striving and just pushing forward in general. You are wonderful and kind and an inspiration to my brain on bad days. You are Good in a time where Good things can be scarce and I am gald you exist.

Re: hollymath, she/her

[haggis]

It's a you! You make my life better for being in it. Your thoughtfulness, interesting thoughts and sharp sense of humour are really valuable to me.

You are directly responsible for me getting good mental health support when I needed it TWICE and converting me into a linguistic descripivist :D

ses, they/them

[auntsarentgents]

Thank you for doing this.

I am mostly trying to focus on work, as creating output helps my branes.

shanaqui, they/them

[shanaqui]

My exam was awful, please love me.

Re: thebonesofferalletters, they/them

[shanaqui]

I like interacting with you, love your Friday posts, appreciate your presence in my life.

Re: kaberett, they/them

[shanaqui]

I appreciate your analysis of yourself and your relationships and interactions. I appreciate your support of me. You make me feel like I am not alone and like it is okay to have the kind of brain I do. And I appreciate this meme.

zimena, she/her

[zimena]

Yes, please?

Thank you, kabarett, for doing this! May it be fun for everyone, and with lots of love to share.

[chiasmata]

Me please :)

[worlds_of_smoke]

I love how accepting you are, of everything. I don't have to hide my flaws and weirdness and neurotic behavior. It's such a relief.

El Staplador, she/her

[el_staplador]

Yes, please.

Re: shanaqui, they/them

[worlds_of_smoke]

I love that you're passionate about knowledge and books and learning. <3

Re: kaberett, they/them

[worlds_of_smoke]

You are so, so resilient and it's inspiring that you are always willing to work on being a better person, even if the path to being a better person is difficult and rocky and definitely not easy.

forests_of_fire, they/them or she/her

[worlds_of_smoke]

I could always use some love.

Re: kaberett, they/them

[watersword]

You are a good. You are a good in my life specifically.

[redbird]

Me please.

Re: Haggis, she/her

[ludy]

You are an awesome metamour. You are thoughtful and wise and passionate. And you keep showing up and doing good things.

Re: kaberett, they/them

[ludy]

I've only met you once IRL and that was lovely. Mostly I know you from your words
You write with such insight, compassion and honesty. You provide useful information (and fascinating recipes) and a helpful example of self-analysis and courage. Thankyou

Ludy she/her or they/them (it's complicated!)

[ludy]

Me, please.

My life has shrunk in recent years and i'm finding it hard to hold on to any sense of worth or hope.
I know that there is Beauty and Goodness in this world but sometimes it is very hard to connect with that.
I'm trying to keep on doing what I can do...

Re: Haggis, she/her

[alexseanchai]

I approve of anyone who works on spreading kindness. ♥

Re: kaberett, they/them

[alexseanchai]

Well done, and thank you for thinking of the meme, and it is always a mood lift to see what things are pleasing unto you today, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
