I’m really bummed I got to the party so late. I would’ve loved to read all your posts over the years.

I enjoy reading the comments of the community that follows you just as much as I enjoy reading your threads. Wonderful people following a wonderful person …zen

You are open and decent and brave with a powerful shining light surrounding a loving soul.

And with all the things that go into it, you are a wonderful communicator, relatable, good with words. expressive and sensitive.

Again, you are decent and we crave decency.

But other than that, you’re just damn lucky. You are lucky to be highly intelligent, observant, and witty.

Of course we follow your posts.

Please contact me should your ego get overinflated and need a slight readjustment. 😉

Keep posting. Keep writing.

Friday’s One Good Thing! I got my dream job and replied one Friday. You responded and I felt seen. Weird? Maybe. Idc tho lol. I’m still with that organization and still so grateful. One Good Thing saved my sanity during our Dark Years. IYKYK

Wow, just wow... all these years and you are still able to reach right in and touch my soul.

You always have been a writer. I hope one day to have a signed first edition of your first book.

The tweets are just what you needed at that time, and that’s plenty. My Dad gave me this song long ago; never mind the visuals—it’s a good translation: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=muJL2VVSRoM

I first “found” you on Twitter, I suspect that to be true for most of the current subscribers. I think it was the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, & I found your threads witty, smart & humorous. It was during a time in my life particularly that I needed humor. And being a (over)thinker I was drawn to your ability to wrap all the darkness in a practical yet funny way. Your threads calmed me. And throughout the years, the threads have changed; still some funny but slowly they felt more personal. I felt like we were really getting to know you. And I thank you for bringing that humanness that Twitter often lacks. From there began the Instagram/Photography era. Although I do like birds it was here that I realized we have common musical interests. And I so appreciated the Covid-era mini concerts. Thank you for helping me feel like I had a friend through some of my darkest days. I’m sorry I didn’t notice your slide into depression, I wish I had. I do care about you & this community you’ve built. Thank you for being a human connector. Thank you for being human. It’s Friday, I hope you’re feeling better, I’m sending you a drink. Cheers!

Mike...I love your writings. You are one of the first people I was drawn to follow when I got started on Twitter. Thank you for being there and sharing your life.
