@Yehuda @Tzipporah Happy birthday! And congratulations, I see you, you are gaining visibility, what you do is not in vain, it is getting traction.

I had very good reasons to run from twitter when it turned bad, but I do miss the diversity of voices from back when it was good. I just kept running across communities whose stories I was never told.

Tracing back why I am here now: there was this glorious cooperation between LockpickingExtreme and BeadsByBatsheva, the "be gay, do crime" lockpicking earrings. I had my earlobes pierced just to wear them one day. And it was from Batsheva that I found Tzipporah, and from there I found out about Turtle Island.

I'm here to contribute what's in my power to turn the fediverse into this magic place connecting communities again.
