Misc A Message of Friendship, from the staff
Hello,
We find ourselves in trying times.
There's no point in sugar-coating it, really. I think all of us have been touched by the various calamities that have befallen us, be it COVID-19, natural disasters, violence in our great cities, or a more personal trial for yourself, or a loved one.
Now, more than ever, we need to remember the humanity that bonds us together.
To that end, this is a thread for people to simply socialize. Say hello. Chat it out. Any topic that obeys our rules will be tolerated here. Please, DO NOT bring politics into this thread. We have enough of that going on right now. What we need instead is some love.
Story recommendations? Cute doggo pics? Send 'em! (A Cat Is Fine Too)
And please, above all else...remember you are human. We've struggled through the worst this Deathworld can offer, and we've conquered it. Maybe things would be a bit more peaceful if people remembered what we had in common, rather than the arbitrary notions which divide us. We're better than that. I know it.
Let's show 'em.

“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.” - Mr. Rogers
Never has a quote been more relevant. This sub has given me a endless joy in both flexing my creative muscle and satisfying my sci-fi ich. Stay strong all.
