Bare tips feel cringe to me. It's way too transactional and small to convey how much I appreciate you all.

So I'm gonna make you all cringe instead with a sentimental thread expressing appreciation.

And then I'm gonna send the damn tips because it seems like it's a pretty strong norm.

@links Thank you for all the book recommendations and for consistently talking about books with me and boosting my book review signal. I also appreciate you showing up for my goofy non-book content, and I enjoy the steady stream of memes and stuff from you.

Great vibes all around, thanks.

@gidwell I'm glad you're back. It's fun to be able to bust chops unapologetically with someone on this uncommonly sincere sufficiently decentralized social media network. It's also just great to stay in touch with old friends. Post more Japan stuff!

@ryanfmason thanks for the tea recommendations

@blankspace thanks for the best feed of interesting images on the internet. Impeccable curation.

@july Remember that time we met in our IRL personas and I was like "You gotta get on this app called Farcaster, it's great!"? Back then I was thinking it was great because of your stuff, and I still feel that way. You're an inspiration. So much more feels possible when you're around. Thanks for being here.

@royalaid.eth I have always enjoyed your mix of original and curated memes. I was tantalized by the reappearance of the factories this week. You're a positive, joyful, and irreverent presence here and I appreciate everything you put into this app.

@bitfloorsghost.eth You're consistently hilarious and you're just the right degree of jaded by all those years in crypto. I was glad to see the early morning solo diner posting come back this week. I feel like we'd be friends. For now, I'm happy just to fanboy. Thanks for being here.

@emo.eth You're one of two people I have notifications on for. It's a relic from back when you only posted here once in a while, but it's starting to seem like you might be here for keeps, though. That makes me happy. Thanks for channeling your super nerdy questions, ennui, and humor into the purple app.

@tldr thanks for taking time out from your Bracky work during the finals to talk about books with me. I have to admit that I'm excited for the erudite side of you to bubble back up now that the march madness posting has wound down :D Congrats on the massive success. Thanks for being here.

@ba @cojo.eth Thanks for making Ponder, it's my favorite frame!

@horsefacts.eth thanks for consistently delivering your unique brand of humor. It's some of the cleverest stuff I come across. Even ouliposting and yoink, which aren't explicitly funny, have an undeniable streak of joy and cheer to them. I appreciate the occaisonal gigabrain flourish as well. Thanks for being here.

@dwr.eth thanks for making this space for us all to hang out, talk, and do crypto stuff. This is a special place, and a lot of its character is attributable to your leadership. Thanks for investing your prime years into it. Thanks for being here.

@slokh I didn't forget you, I just remembered you later than everyone else. It's not personal, I swear, you were just quieter than usual recently. You're the best builder I know bar none, best boss I ever had, and a freakishly good gamer. Missing your casts is mitigated by knowing that you're building this app :)

Books

@phil Thanks for all the support in /books and for the guidance and checkins when I was getting into lifting last year. Your support on both fronts helped me establish healthier habits.

And thanks for all the thirst trap fitness inspiration pics

@takenstheorem thanks for taking the plunge and joining us here. I love seeing all your data visualizations and it's been great catching up again recently :D You gotta get the official client so we can start DMing again 😆

The list is by no means exclusive. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

@keccers.eth You're an inspiration. I know you feel weird about that, but you gotta own it. You're smart, funny, and tough. I learn a ton from your feed. I like talking with you and when I see a like from you on one of my casts, I know I've done well. Thanks for being here.

Appreciate you posting book content - makes me feel like an intellectual 🧐 and less like I am wasting time!
