The not-a-darkroom-orgy love meme

[kaberett]

Hello everybody!

I know we've just had a string of really big love memes, but a comment floated past on my reading list today and I thought: yes.

In particular, someone was expressing a desire for a "not a darkroom orgy" meme for Valentine's Day: not because they don't intend to participate in the local darkroom, and not because they think there's anything wrong with the darkroom, but just because they'd like a dedicated space for something that isn't quite that. And, well, it can be a rough time of year for people, especially with the message that monogamous heterosexual relationships are the most important kind of relationship, so I think a healthy dose of respect and love might be no bad thing. <3

This post will close to new nominations on the evening (GMT) of Sunday the 17th, but I intend to keep unscreening comments to threads for as long as they come in!

♥ 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 use gender neutral pronouns as a default. Other people can then reply to that comment with goopy declarations of love, reasons that person is awesome, sparkly expressions of admiration, etc! All comments are screened, and I'll unscreen them as they arrive. (So, if your comment doesn't appear right away, please be patient; I'll leave my online status at the bottom of this post to keep people updated on whether I'm unscreening or not.)

♥ 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. If I make a mistake in unscreening something, if you want a comment to your thread unscreened or deleted, if you have any concerns you need to raise -- please just tell me, and I'll attend to it as soon as I can. If there are any inappropriate comments made to a thread, I will check with the person being referred to before unscreening.

♥ Share the love: please do send people over here (and to your own thread!)

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

♥ That's it -- happy posting!

They are excellent company and have enlightening thoughts on rocks.

On first meeting, kaberett struck me as impressively sharp, articulate, interesting, kind, strongly present as themselves, possessed of a well-defined sartorial style which very much suits them, and a nice person to hug. Continued acquaintance via the internets does not provide further data on absolutely all these virtues but has been strongly confirmatory of all those the medium allow.

I am in a position to confirm all of the above.

Moreover, they've compelled me, in the gentlest way, and less late in life than I otherwise would have, to reevaluate everything I ever tacitly assumed concerning gender, which has made me a better and more comfortable person, presumably with infinitesimal yet non-negligible consequences to the betterment of society as a whole.

They actually put in some effort to collect cast-off books they've asked for. Anyone who thinks this isn't remarkable hasn't tried giving away enough books!

I admire you very much, I'm even a little in awe of you. One reason is the way you're a tenacious, committed activist yet you always manage to retain kindness and compassion when you're responding to fail.

Brilliant, intelligent, thoughtful and a beautiful person.

i've only met them IRL once (and they were very friendly to a random friend of a friend who was feeling a bit nervous and overwhelmed at a big noisy gathering - and spoke thoughtfully about all sorts of things including shared health/disability issues)
Online i find they are deeply thoughtful, generous with their ideas and support, funny, interesting about many subjects particularly cooking and ROCKS. And they do many things that make the world better place
