aah everyone has been so lovely thank you! i'm taking a break bc my phone is dying and i didn't need to cry after all (i have squealed and burbled and chortled a bit) and i need access to the smiling-face-with-tear emoji, be back soon!
@QiaochuYuan i was struck many times by the finesse of your language and your incredibly astute observations about things that i've also spent a lot of time thinking about. for that, i thank you. especially this thread struck a chord with me:https://t.co/jpADYtRhq0
@QiaochuYuan our conversation recently was so fun, one of my favorites on the podcast so far and recently on or off the podcast. I love feeling like I could talk to someone for hours and hours. part of that is just how much i like you!sending you metta and hugs friend β€οΈ
@QiaochuYuan i appreciate deeply your willingness to post publicly deep personal processing in spite of broad and consistent denigrationyour mode of personal exploration has helped me engage with myself better and reminds me of my goal with writing: to be as honest as possiblethank you.
@QiaochuYuan I think you are dodging my compliment: it's not that the mob moved on, it's that you held yourself with grace and integrity and courage and set a standard that many of us will strive to emulate when the mob comes for us
@QiaochuYuan @RichDecibels yeah and my guess is that the grace and integrity somehow also contributed to the moving on being as smooth as it was neither fighting nor apologizing, just holding firm in your own frame
@QiaochuYuan you have been a remarkably generous friend to us and I have been grateful for everything you've done for us, and for all of our talks together https://t.co/vEBmGoLYNp
