Everyone here does a great job of making me laugh, and feel like I'm in good company.

This place has such a great community going. The people here (and I don't just mean the power posters, but also people like me who comment at most a handful of times a day, as well as outright lurkers) are all just really intelligent, witty, friendly, helpful, caring, and a variety of other positive adjectives.

Here is a tiny subset of the cool people whose usernames I recognize (including a few lost and lamented): @Kanna @WhoaSlowDownMaurice @BrookeBaybee @aaaaaaadjsf @Dirt_Owl @Shitbird @DirtbagVegan @GreenTeaRedFlag @MiraculousMM @Beatnik @ultraviolet @MsUltraViolet @CrimsonSage @gayhobbes @crime @hexaflexagonbear @OldGramsci @coeliacmccarthy @congressbaseballfan @AlexandairBabeuf @AlephNull @QuillQuote @WhyEssEff @therivercass @WhatDoYouMeanPodcast @Cuttlefish @wtypstanaccount04 @SorosFootSoldier @SolidarityForever @DeathToBritain @TankieTanuki...honestly every time I think of a user and start typing I see another name I recognize as someone cool lol. So, to conclude, @thegirlreadingthis

Well, there's (more than) a few I want to shout out:

@DeathToBritain for being a great friend who's spent a lot of time helping me out with and teaching me life stuff :comfy-cool:

@Wmill for watching out for me and making sure I don't do stupid shit :stalin-approval:

@thelastaxolotl For being a cool fellow nerd :very-smart:

@Eco For getting me to read vegan theory recently :read-theory:

@comi For being a fellow history fan I've had some good conversations with on the subject :theory-gary:

And of course @Sandinband For genuinely being an amazing friend who's willing to listen to me and support me and who I can be open about how I'm feeling with :meow-hug:

And there's tons and tons of other comrades I've interacted with on this sight that I'm forever glad to have interacted with. Just because you're not mentioned here doesn't mean that I don't also appreciate you, I appreciate everyone here. These are just all of the people whose names pop into my head right this moment, and this is getting pretty long already lol

But know that every single one of you on this site are great

:cat-com:

I love my trans comrades :trans-specter:

the comrades here really help stop me from being cringe because you all are constantly posting interesting takes and background information about news and the world so I can make an informed decision. I learn so much just being here. Plus you all are constantly funny.

@WhoaSlowDownMaurice is very kind and is always there to listen to my problems.

yall the best sicko-hexbears this sidda da mississippii :deng-cowboy:

When I say “I love you all dearly” I fucking mean it.

Big shout out to the mental health community here. Between the general love and support and being able to talk to people who are going through the same shit I am I've really been able to come to terms with a lot of my issues.

I love my fellow hexbears and im so glad to be a part of this community. I'm so grateful for the friends I've made and I hope to make more :crush: there's a lot of great potential here and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Even if we're just shitposting forever, this will also be my favorite place on the internet

@WhoaSlowDownMaurice is my favorite poster and a great friend. He's been there for me (and like everyone on here) when I really needed someone to listen and always has something kind to say. I'm really grateful to get to know you :meow-hug: we talk like everyday and it's definitely a highlight for me

@kingspooky is like my virtual penpal and a really great guy :crush: I enjoy all our interactions im so excited to see your podcast! Your writing is amazing and I really admire you using your degree for praxis in the legal system :rat-salute:

@Alaskaball thank you so much for taking the time to inform me more on korean culture. It wasn't easy for me being the only asian person growing up, especially with racist racist parents I used to feel so much shame about my race. Now I have so much pride in the people I came from and I appreciate everything you tell me about them :meow-hug:

@communiste you havent posted in a while and I know you're going through stuff but I really enjoyed our conversations haunting the old mega :meow-hug: I hope things work out for you, and if they don't, don't be afraid to ask for help here. We're spider hags for life and I can't wait to talk to you again :sicko-fem: hopefully it'll be on a leftist commune

I love all my hexbears, I hope you guys feel as welcome in the community as I do :kitty-cri:

This community has some of the most creative, brilliant, and compassionate shitposters on the entire world wide web.

:stalin-heart:

I just like being here and knowing that even if my jokes aren't funny sometimes, you all still get them. It's cool not being dismissed out of hand and it means posting and commenting is so fun.

Also love to be in a place where I don't get anxiety when I see replies.
