Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Inspired by another thread I saw recently. For this thread, I have two parts to this. What are you grateful for:

  • on Beehaw? - Anything you like about this community, an interaction you appreciated, something that brightened your day, an aspect of site culture that appeals to you, etc.

  • offline/in real life? - Just more generally, what are you thankful for? Anything that's happened in your life recently that has turned out to be good, people making a positive difference in your life, etc.

For beehaw, I'm grateful that I haven't had to take a single moderation action yet! I've been keeping an eye out just in case on c/science, but even when there's been some disagreement about how to, eg, interpret a study people have been engaged in constructive discussion. I think that's really indicative of the quality of the community we've got going here! Love y'all ♥

In real life I'm grateful to the folks at my local grocery store. My wallet was stolen over the weekend and though my bank gave me a digital card while I wait for a new one to show up in the mail, it hasn't been working. The folks at the grocery store were super accommodating with it and happily held on to my groceries for me while I hurried home to get a check (it's been forever since I've needed to use a check!) to pay for them. They even put my frozen stuff in the walk-in in the back so it wouldn't melt before I returned. I guess some might say "They're just doing their job," but for me it really made a difference on an otherwise stressful day.
