Well, for what it is worth, you write a lot of the sorts of things I think I would like to write, and even when they are not on topics to my taste, they contribute to making this platform somewhere that feels at home to me. Cut tags or no cut tags--and I am slightly guiltily thinking I ought to get better at them!

I am rolling around in the influx of people even though I cannot keep up with everything, because the conversations I do soak up are so interesting. In fact I can't keep up with all the links I am posting! It's a little overwhelming because I am constantly worrying that if I miss something good it will be the end of the world and I'll be sad when I can't have as much of these longform discussions I like again, but if the chattering keeps up I think that insecurity will die down again. I remember being this overwhelmed by c. 2008-2010ish DW, too.

I appreciate the things you have to say because even when you aren't talking about something I am interested in, thoughtful and slightly navel-gazey thought about a variety of personal and less-personal topics is the kind of thing I like to produce. And having it in my general background makes me feel more secure that if I natter on, someone else might like it, too. And I've been reading you for quite a while, on and off!

So. Uh. If that is helpful to remind the factually incorrect brainweasels, have at.
