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

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

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.

I don't think I said it, but I'm so sorry to hear about Little Britches, Matt.

Is anyone in touch with Holly (or is it Holli?)? I don't think I saw her on your list, Cindy, but not sure whether she uses a pseud I don't know. I actually didn't really cross paths/time with her here, but her name just popped into my head. I think we might be FB friends, but I know many others are "actual" friends. Just figured I'd mention it since my weird brain thought of it. Didn't see her name in the "seen by"s of smonster's post on FB.

Holli is also active on Tumblr. I'll ping her.

I texted shrift last night, but I know there's a Holli M who shows up on FB who I think is also a Buffista of long past?

I can't remember the spelling either, JenP. I might be connected with her on Twitter, or else I'm mixing her up with another Holly/i. After a while, some people that I don't see here take on their other platform identity for me. I think that might not be her real first name in either case.

Anyone?

javachik, shrift has since checked in here. I think Holli M is the one JenP means. Sorry for the X-post.
