@littlejohn22 @jecht @richsquared Thank you, my brothers. Love you guys.

As we've seen quite a lot of Hopefuls go pink again lately - some of them girls who have been modeling on this site for several years - I'd be neglectful if I didn't appeal to the SG powers that be to consider turning the lovely @teva pink as well.

Frankly, during the February that was - Black History Month - it would have been

I saw this right before I went into work but wanted to wait until I got home to give a proper thank you! This blog is so sweet and I really appreciate you taking the time to write something so supportive! It definitely made my day to read this and means the world to me! You are right, I do love being on the site! Being here feels like home and that I belong. I've been inspired, had some amazing experiences, and befriended some incredible people like you! ๐Ÿ’–

We write the songs we want to hear, the lyrics we want to read. It's valid to feel proud of that on occasion. This is one of my favorite stanzas from a recent song of mine.

Awesome glasses ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

First read of the year! In 2025, I was kind of all over the place when it comes to my reading progress, and a lot of other stuff was going on too, but I'm hoping that 2026 will provide a more steady stream of reading.

@skisby StoryGraph is great. More independent, Black-owned, no chance of seeing nazi propaganda, doesn't support Bezos, and so forth.

The option to transfer the data was really helpful, and worked like a charm for me.
ojtheviking:
@jecht Gotta be bold in life sometimes to create one's own adventures ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

May this year bring you contentment, healing, may it resolve some of your challenges, and may you fulfill some of your dreams. Let's see if we can make this a good one!
