Okay, this is a brownnose post, so just bear with me.
I just wanted to thank the wonderful Melissa, for a few things.
First, I'm very honored to have some of my posts included in the "greatest hits" section here on Shakes. I have a little bit of wit, and sometimes my posts can approach something that could be considered good writing, but having them included with the amazing essays that Shakes seems to produce out of thin air, is quite humbling. I should have thanked you for that a long time ago, Shakes.
Second, I'd just like to thank you for running this blog, period. After I discovered you, this quickly became my favorite blog, and my first read of the day. That hasn't changed. This blog is consistently the most informed, well-written, compassionate, and entertaining "online magazine" that I read... and I know it would still be that way even if you didn't have any contributors. The wonderful D. and Tart make it just that much better. So thanks to you two as well.
Third, thank you for taking so much of your personal time to put together the BBA and all the other organizing you've done.
Fourth, thanks for being a foul-mouthed, hysterically funny woman.
Your "Accountability" post is an excellent example of why you run the best damn blog on the internet. You do it all out of sheer passion for what you feel is good and just, and the rest of us are so much better for it. And all of this without fundraising drives and slathering your blog with ads!
So, again, thank you.
Now watch this drive.
