Inspired by @zkat__, I wanna put some positivity in the world.

I'll do this for up to 25 mutuals.

you are SO cool and such a good engineer. Your work inspires me. I have a professional crush on you (and a little bit of a personal crush TBH, tho I feel weird about it 'cause I don't know you that well.)

Delightful online friend! I am so glad we met. You are kind and I agree with your technical opinions and enjoy your tweets.

I was afraid you'd think I was weird because I was crying in public at the place where we met IRL, but then I looked over and you were crying too.

Thank you for not being weird about how I didn't want to go on a second date with you.

I enjoy our interactions and it makes me happy that we have a lot of community in common

Futurey science fiction non-binary human, your aesthetic is excellent and inspiring, you've worked on some fascinating projects, and you are so, so cool. I hope to get to know you better.

You're hilarious. And also I think you're hot. I'd date you, if you weren't too close in the relationship graph, and also if you didn't live so far away. And also I'm way too romantic for ya. So okay I guess I wouldn't date you. But you're hot.

[sorry, work people, some of this is gonna be Real Gay, I promise I'm not talking about you when I'm referring to crushes]

that time when you asked me what my favorite meme was and you said "mine is get that bread" and I hadn't of that and couldn't come up with an answer for you...I felt so, so old.

You're doin great tho! I'm proud of you and can't wait to see where you grow from here.

You are direct and also kind. I aspire to be as kickass at devrel as you are. Thank you for getting me into this job, I'm happier than I ever thought I could be at work. I'm honored to work alongside you and so many other excellent people.

I wish we got to work together longer! I miss you. You're a really excellent, solid, kind person and I appreciate you staying in touch with me. Can we please break bread together after all this covid bullshit is over? I'll bring the cookies.

I don't know you super well, but I saw the imprint of your code all over git archaeology in the project I inherited, which made me feel cool when you followed me back.

Thanks for volunteering to do technical interviews for PoC, that means a lot to me.

the last talk that I saw you give was SO incredible. I am v sad it wasn't recorded (it wasn't, right?), because I've wanted several other people to see it. But also I can understand why you might only want to give it in front of that particular audience.

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with my creepy ex. (sadly, this sentiment probably applies to more people on the list than I know of.)

You're cool. And also funny. Let's hang out again after covid is over!!

I've just been informed that "outta pocket" was a) appropriated from Black twitter and b) doesn't mean what I thought it meant -- it means something more like wack/fucked up.

I'm sorry. Not sure if I should continue this thread in light of that knowledge.
