I know Anne W. is on Tumblr.

What is even happening?
I think Anne W generally posted here as Anne W. I remember the sopiap name though, but maybe from LJ, or maybe Anne had a period of time where she avoided using her first name here?
Thank you sj, Dana, Beverly, Jesse, Shir, and everyone.
In re the list: smonster hoped to keep us from duplicating our efforts, so the list was born.
I don't want anyone to feel pressure. I'm keeping it in part, because it's the only thing I can think to do. It's a task. It's just a casserole, with names for ingredients.

Anne W. is definitely active on Tumblr and I can message her if needed.

No pressure felt here. I just want to feel useful.

Valerie called me about ita, and even though I hadn't been here much in a long time, I was so grateful that she did. I feel like this about the "if needed" part: if you think someone would want to know, and you're in contact with them (or can be easily enough), tell them. EDIT: and if you tell me, I'll update the list, so other people don't have to try to figure out if someone has told Buffista X.
On the other hand, we all know we've spread out all over social media. If/when we go through periods when we're less in touch with other Buffistas, we all understand we're at least part of that equation to be out of touch.
I don't think we have to be like student loan collection agents and hunt the Buffista diaspora to the ends of the earth.
I just want to feel useful.
Same. And if I can save smonster from doing it, I figure that's useful -- at the very least to smonster.

I've been reading, just feeling overwhelmed. I am so sorry for all the shit this year is raining down on all of us. Please all consider yourselves hugged, and showered with homemade pastries.

I sent Micole a DM on Twitter and messaged Anne on Tumblr.

I need an actual, physical hug from a person like you wouldn't believe. I'm not normally a much of a hugger, but damn this year.
One bright spot: they've called GA for Biden. So, as someone on Twitter mentioned, Jimmy Carter has now seen GA turn blue again. And yeah, it's just on the presidential level, for now, but that's not nothing.
