soc_puppetSo remember how I said that the Tumblr version of the "baking with arthritis and other chronic hand pain" link was slightly blowing up with notes?
I, er. May have been overstating at the time.
Last night I reblogged it with a happy little note, because it made me so happy that enough people were sharing it that it was at almost five hundred notes. A Tumblr BNF reblogged it from me, and, well. In the twenty-four-ish hours since that reblog, it's now at over eighteen thousand notes. A lot of tags are things like, "I thought I had to give up making bread but maybe not???" or "To share with my mom later!" and stuff like that, and I'm just...
Well, as I said over there:
(I also included a little haiku in my tags on that reblog that, so far, no one has said anything about. So for competition's sake: you've kneaded my heart, now it rises in my chest, enveloped by warmth.)
I spent a lot of today since I got home from work not quite obsessively reading every tag and reblog note I could find, and should really find a way to stop soon 😅 This isn't good for resting! Time to distract myself with a light novel, I think.

Well, as I said over there:
I'm just... very quietly touched at how many people are sharing it. Whether they need it themselves (or think they will someday), or know someone else who might need it, the fact that all of them are sharing the sentiment of "I want the people who love doing this thing to be able to keep doing the thing that they love" is... yeah. It makes me happy.

I had not noticed the haiku, but that is wonderful.

Date: 2022-02-22 05:05 am (UTC)I was slightly surprised that no one noticed it, and will freely admit that the actual two-plus I spent yesterday combing through every tag anyone left was at least half to see if anyone had mentioned it 😅 Then again, practically no one reblogged it directly from me, so I suppose I'm not terribly surprised!

Date: 2022-02-23 02:53 am (UTC)I love that post! I reblogged that one long before I followed you, haha. It really IS a perfectly concise sentiment, so I'm not surprised it got 6-digit notes!
My sibling has had at least two of their posts get super big - "they call me handsome because I have some hands" as a text shitpost, and a more recent one about lighthouses and windmills having the same vibes. It's wild to me to see my sibling's posts either organically crossing my dash from someone else, or even weirder, screenshotted and shared on FB or something, haha.
I am surprised no one noticed the haiku! I saw the tag and thought it was nice phrasing, but didn't make the connection that it was a haiku!

Date: 2022-02-23 05:00 am (UTC)It's probably because the haiku was only in my tags; with how often that post got reblogged, I'm sure Haiku Bot would've picked it up if it'd been in the body of the post.
