Ah! Brilliant!
@JakeA is online, so I'm seizing the moment to celebrate this wonderful person the way I did many others while soused.
The thing is, I met Jake on the X-bird, & he was *immediately* so much kinder and genuine-interaction focused than most folks who perform/market themselves in our SFF world there.
He stood out as a thoughtful presence who loved reading, writing, and exploring with a genuinely curious and questing energy.
Also: Endorsed by a lovely cat. Bonus points for that. π
@MLClark I favorite *one* toot thinkin I'm bein' sneakily online... π
Thank you for the kind words! I'm grateful that I was able to find that genuine presence there, and you were no small part of that. Thanks for all you do, here and everywhere else! Someone needs to invent transporters so we can bake some gluten free/keto stuff together. Would def risk a transport malfunction for that!
