I had an incredible night of sleep and I’ve got spoons to spare today, and the only way we find love on the timeline is if we put it there.
Reply to this post and I’ll tell you something I like about you.
Jeremy,
I don't know if this offer is just open to moots, but I could use a boost.
I had a rough day yesterday, but already today is looking brighter. (I lost my dad's cat, but he has returned.)
For the record, this offer is open to anyone, though I cannot guarantee results if I don’t know someone; I sure try, though.
A simple thing for you today: I always appreciate your prompts for scavenger hunts. They are thoughtful and creative and incredibly intelligent and they make me happy.
Thank you Jeremy,
Your scavenger hunts are such a pure and simple way to bring a little joy to the timeline. I love seeing people interact by providing the prompts and I love seeing the way you interpret them.
I love how varied and eclectic your interests are, and how you bring all of them into your timeline by reposting so many other people. You celebrate and encourage a *lot* of people quietly and consistently, and having been a recipient of that celebration and encouragement: thank you.
We don't know each other well enough to really participate in this
So, in the interest of getting to that point of knowing each other better
Please telll me something you like about YOU instead
I like that I am good at giving compliments, even to people I don’t know well yet. 😉
I hope people realize how beautiful it is that you celebrate TTRPGs—which have become ever more commoditized—in such a tactile, handcrafted, old-school way. It is such a love letter to playing with friends.
Sometimes the “soothing” thing you get from me is “fuck that guy”!
I love how much you love language—how a word is a thing to be cherished but also broken apart and re-formed, how you craft a joke or a kindness or a rebuke with such mastery.
This is going to be an unusual thing, but I like to think that if we were hanging out IRL we would be able to do a ton of communicating without even talking, like in the middle of a group conversation with just a look and a wry smile or a cocked eyebrow, and this idea makes me happy.
Jeremy, I'm replying because I love your generosity and your unique ability make others feel special, not because I need the lift today, but I know you will anyway, and I love that too.
I am so lucky to have you as a fellow-traveler: someone who so effortlessly understands the joy of simple everyday things, someone with an eye out for little pops of beauty and wonder.
you've already given me boosts before so I'm just here to tell you you're awesome and you're always gassing people up and people don't realise sometimes that takes a special kind of joyful work to do: I see you, pal
Thank you, and I don’t know if I’ve told you this before but I love it so much when you get into a “just gotta move” mood and you bring us along. I hope that’s always delightful and never work; what it feels like to me is kinetic celebration, joy finding its way to the surface.
oh I love this? bc that's what I'm hoping it comes across as
I know not everyone can vibe at that level at the same times but that if someone is near enough they can join in & feel the electricity that flows through my veins bc it's FUN
there's work to do but if we're not having fun it's harder
I love that you love them, and when you like-bomb, you always like-bomb all of my favorite stuff. I appreciate your tenderness and thoughtfulness so much.
D, I don’t know you yet but a quick spin through your replies is all it took for me to know that you are a sower of light, a serial bringer of light and encouragement, and also very much yourself—not just kind but also clear and firm about what you believe in.
We are a lot alike, you and I: deep wells of feeling, romantic maybe to a fault, prone to melancholy. I know this “weirdly insecure,” too, like the back of my hand.
I just want to remind you that you are wonderful and fascinating and worthy and magnificent.
I want to be fancier about this but I can’t so I’ll just say it plain: you’re so smart and fun and dryly funny and your interests and joys are so varied and wonderful; it makes my TL better having you in it.
When you get out into beautiful, natural, and wild places you absolutely glow about it and this is how I know we are related somewhere back in the family tree.
Hi! Since we last posted to each other a few hours ago, I’ve listened to the entirety of Evermore, made a pitcher of sweet tea, and cleaned my half bath (except for mopping the floor which will come later when I do the full bath). After lunch I’ll be dusting and vacuuming in the living room.
I need to get moving similarly and I definitely have not been. There are chores to be done!
Jay, thank you for being such a consistent and consistently wonderful presence in my Bluesky experience. I am immensely blessed to have you in my TL and in my replies.
I’m not even going to be super specific or observant here even though that’s often my thing: I’m just really glad that we’re mutuals and I really appreciate you and all the little ways you have sent encouragement. It is so appreciated.
