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.

So shall we gift a Humankind candle to Sam? 😆

And she already has the world's only butter labubu candle 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hard to think of one she doesn’t already have…

We definitely should. What flavor do you think she'd love?
