Inspired by another thread I saw recently. For this thread, I have two parts to this. What are you grateful for:

  • on Beehaw? - Anything you like about this community, an interaction you appreciated, something that brightened your day, an aspect of site culture that appeals to you, etc.

  • offline/in real life? - Just more generally, what are you thankful for? Anything that’s happened in your life recently that has turned out to be good, people making a positive difference in your life, etc.

    On Beehaw:

    I’m really appreciative of the community for sticking to more positive values and being passionate about making Beehaw a welcoming place. Love seeing people happy about releasing their inhibitions, jumping into whatever conversations are going on, and finding a community of support here. Also thankful for the other mods, just for being cool to talk to and being actively present all over the site, and for the admins - alyaza, Gaywallet, and Lionir for being transparent about how Beehaw is administered, and Remington and Penguincoder for keeping the site up and also being positive presences.

    In real life:

    IRL, I’m glad to not be sick anymore and finally have time for cleaning and job-hunting. It’s been rough in the way of money for the past few months, so I’m happy to have my partner and my parents’ support and to be working through slowly unfucking my life. I’m also grateful that my creative juice has really been pumping lately and that I’ve been much more prolific in my various writing projects.
