It's so quiet. And a little warmer.
May the Beige Bless me with a good night's slumber.

One year ago today, I made my first and only Mastodon account migration, from Do Social to the esteemed beige.party.
I had been considering a move for some time due to [gestures broadly at Dot Social], and the only place I ever considered was Beige. Many of my longest and most cherished met-on-Fedi mutuals were clustered there— @adhdeanasl, @Alice, @TheBreadmonkey, @the_etrain, @LoganFive, @RickiTarr, and I'm sure others I'm forgetting. And so many more who I've met since making the leap.
There was this tight circle of funny, kind, smart people here that I admired. I got along with them, but I always felt like I was on the periphery. At the party, but not really part of the group. I wanted in.
Well, one year later, I can say I'm still on the periphery, but now I have an @beige.party domain on my user account, too, and they don't know how to kick me out.
Kidding! Kidding. Beige.party isn't just a place for funny people, it is, as I said above, also a digital home to kind people. Everyone gave me a very warm welcome. Almost uncomfortably warm. Made me wonder who was sitting in the welcome before they gave it to me.
All of this is to say, it has been a hell of a year. Thanks to all of you for putting up with me and including me and just being your amazing selves. And thanks to @theropologist for making this weird little corner of the Fediverse for us. #BeigeBless
