killing_it tender square can i just say, ya'll are killing it up in here! i feel so privileged to be a part of this community and i love reading all your posts. honestly, i'd comment on every one of them if i could but i'd run of words to describe how much they affect me. 3 210831 ... tender square that was supposed to be a heart in there, not a three! 210831 ... e_o_i The "greater/less than symbols" don't show up. I've tried it. I'm guessing blather treats them as "html particle, do not show" even if they aren't actually functional. I wonder if they'd appear between brackets? [] 210831 ... e_o_i I meant "greater/less than" symbols (darn quotation marks). But yes, they don't appear. Anyway (checks note, adjusts tie), on behalf of the Blather General Consortium, thank you for the kind words! 210831 ... raze the only heart-shaped thing that seems to work here is some sort of actual html heart symbol (which i copied and pasted from jane on happiness_is_a_warm_cat). at least i think it should work. let's find out! ♡ whether my heart just made an appearance or not, i feel the same way. i want to shout my love from the rooftops every time i read anything anyone writes here. the other day i wrote something about a rock photographer on not_fade_away, and then unhinged came along and wrote something so powerful on that blathe, i had to fight not to cry. and i thought, "how does that happen?" but i know how it happens. it's the magic of blather. and what a great gift to be here with you all right now. 210831 ... unhinged for a second this morning blather wasn't working and i thought oh no we killed it 210901 ... unhinged (those symbols are pretty integral to html from what i can remember so thats probably why they don't show up) 210901 ... raze a year later, i still feel like i could say something here every day about the things you all write that move me, and make me think, and make me laugh. today e_o_i cracks my shit up with the "leaving your loved one for a word (literally)" scenario on purple_pride, and then the depth and beauty of "for_science" and "purge" rip me to shreds. tomorrow it'll be something else. y'all are something else. you know that? 220827 what's it to you? who go blather from
