appreciation

I wrote “while in LA” in my previous cast as if my presence in LA were in the past tense. But I’m actually still at LAX, sitting inside a plane which should have landed in SF over an hour ago.

A series of misfortunate events occurred:

- First, the fire extinguisher on board needed to be replaced.

- After we got a new fire extinguisher, a flight attendant cut her finger in the galley and paramedics took her off the flight.

- After we got a new flight attendant and began taxiing, we received a new weather report from a very foggy SFO delaying our takeoff.

There aren’t any more flights on this airline back tonight, so there’s a chance I might be stuck in LA tonight. I think these events are happening because I drank the entirety of this “chocho superfood” Erewhon smoothie earlier. A cursed elixir brewed to trap tourists.

How do I reverse the curse?

Right after seeing my cast, @samantha sent me $10 for airplane snacks out of nowhere. How cute is she? As soon as she did this, my flight got ready for takeoff. She’s obviously magic.

I have never met Sam IRL, but I have observed her quiet, humble kindness countless times in the Farcaster community. She truly embodies the name of her brand - Humankind.

In that spirit, I’d like to gift one of her beautiful candles to someone in the community who embodies this too. Tag someone by Sunday and share about how they make Farcaster a more human, more kind place.

I’ll pick one of your suggestions to receive a Humankind candle of the recipient’s choosing.

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I’m making joyful candles at www.humankindcandles.com

@kazi because he’s just a nice guy who does his best to uplift the community even if it means dragging people by the collar up the mountain.

did i say dragging? i meant to say with a support understanding tone he gently encourages others around him to feel included and safe in their space and timing
