There are many thanks to give out for this experience. It was so good to see so many of my friends in that space... And that really wouldn't have happened without any of the staff and volunteers. Being an event coordinator, I know it's a tough job, with a lot of effort up front.
I've got many thoughts about this past weekend. But the biggest one - it's been amazing. There's something about not having to hide such a huge part of who you are, and be validated by those around you. Alas, all good things come to a close. Watching the sun set from SFO, and back to blending in.
I don't want to rub it in, but this weekend has been such an affirming experience so far. I don't think I've had so much fun at a pool party since I was a kid.
"buh"
I'll take some funny juice in my sippy pleaaaaasseeee :D
Parroting something I said on my other acct - I think FA is probably dead in the next 2 years, or sooner. It's hosting costs are kind of astronomical. And there's probably a fight for power that will alienate a good chunk of people too.
