A Midsummer Night's Love Meme

Love meme

♥ Nominate yourself or someone else, anonymously or logged-in, by putting your/their username in the subject line of a comment to this entry. If you do not know for certain the person's preferred pronouns and they do not list them on their DW profile, please avoid using third-person pronouns or use gender-neutral pronouns. Other people can then reply to that comment with declarations of love, reasons that person is awesome, expressions of admiration, etc! All comments are screened, and I'll unscreen them as they arrive subject to my online status. If your comment doesn't appear right away, please be patient -- I'll do my best to keep my online status updated at the bottom of this post.

♥ If you don't want to be nominated, or don't want comments referring to certain things [body/appearance, wrong pronouns, etc] to appear on your thread, please let me know; I won't unscreen any such comment or nomination, and can message the commenter a request to edit. If I make a mistake in unscreening something, if you want a comment to your thread unscreened or deleted, or if you have any concerns you need to raise -- please tell me, and I'll deal with it as soon as I can. If there are any comments I deem borderline, I will check with the person being referred to before unscreening. I maintain a private list of people who do not want to be nominated.

♥ Share the love: please do send people over here (and to your own thread!) Words-and-deeds it up if you like, but that's not obligatory!

♥ These guidelines are modeled on dingsi's love meme guidelines, with modifications by jjhunter and wording adapted from surpassingly.

Re: kaberett (they)

[kaberett]

And the same to you! As I said upthread you clearly make a lot of people very happy, and I thank you for it. :-)

Re: kaberett (they)

[kaberett]

Thank you for seeing me, particularly the gentleness. <3

Re: kaberett (they)

[kaberett]

<333 You are magnificent. I am glad that my grousing is interesting and useful!

Re: kaberett (they)

[kaberett]

FOOD FOOD FOOD. Latest victory: plums from the allotment (nicked from an abandoned plot) and apples from my mother's garden --> cobbler, which I have been nibbling at the edges of all day with delight.

(Maybe? I will ever learn to take flattering photographs of food and start including them in posts? that sounds quite sort of Aesthetic, though, and I'm not sure I'll ever be that put together...)

Re: kaberett (they)

... well fuck, I do a cry every time I read this. <3

You will, no doubt, be unsurprised to hear that, yeah, it doesn't feel exceptional; it doesn't feel like I'm doing anything special; a lot of the time, it feels like I'm doing the bare minimum necessary for me to actually... ethically interact with other people? Which, hilariously, leads directly to ableism. (A lot of the time, it feels insupportably self-indulgent.) The reminder that it's work, real valuable visible worthwhile work, floors me every time. Thank you for seeing me, and for helping me to adjust how I see myself. You make me kinder.

I guess it makes sense that you've got impostor syndrome when so much of what you do is made of words and thoughts; you can't open a vault somewhere and see poems and ideas heaped up around you, stacks of conversations and little chests full of conversation. But they did happen, and they matter; from what I've seen of you, you've consistently been a deep thinker, keen observer, and devoted worker of words. That's real work, and it counts, and it makes you a rich asset anywhere you go.

Re: Chanter_greenie

[chanter1944]

Thank you very much! We both tend toward the warm and fuzzy when it comes to yarn, I believe you said? :)

Re: Chanter_greenie

[chanter1944]

Awww, thank you very much! :)

Come From Away is coming to Milwaukee next year eeeee! I'm debating getting tickets, but if it makes its way to Madison as well... It'd be worth seeing twice. XD

Hello to the delightful Sasha Feather from WisCon! :)

[chanter1944]

You don't know me and vice versa, but :) :) anyway.

Re: fyreharper

The ever-intelligent, thoughtful librarian from my friendslist, seeking and fighting for justice one informative post at a time. Aha! :)

Re: jjhunter

Every haiku
Always, also, includes,
"Thank you for asking."

Re: kaberett (they)

[silveradept]

It becomes extremely useful when I then have to help someone with their own travails, or when I am a professional or fonctionnaire and I can look at this and go "how could I make this not terrible for the people I know."

Re: itsamellama

[silveradept]

This was a wonderful piece of art you made for me and I still use it and treasure it. Thank you.

Re: silveradept

[silveradept]

Thank you. I want that to be a truth of my life.

Re: silveradept

[silveradept]

Thank you for saying so. Write what you know and see, right?

Re: silveradept

[silveradept]

Thank you. I saw jenett elsewhere commenting that knowing you're in Hufflepuff House is enjoying it a lot when people think you're kind. It's nice to get comments that say the caring shows through.

Re: silveradept

[silveradept]

Thank you.

Credit to my sources (as I should) is that often it's someone is saying something that resonates with me and I can springboard off their conception as to whether it's exactly right, or somewhat orthogonal, or pretty directly wrong.

That it then comes out as something interesting is added benefit.

Re: silveradept

[silveradept]

Thanks.

(The icon you've chosen I usually see captioned with "I've got nothing, so here's a picture of a hamster with a pancake on its head" and that caption is making me giggle.)

Re: silveradept

[silveradept]

Oh, thank you. I'm very glad they are thoughtful and helpful. Hufflepuff nature likes both of those, and kind and gracious as well.

I am happy to be part of your community and that you continue to think of me as a person that should be there.

[brainwane]

I'm glad you exist, and I have learned a lot from your perspective and memoirs.
