“What’s up, everybody? I’m glad to see y’all here tonight. It’s nice to get this love. I need it.”
Before we dive into the ways that we are thinking about love and everything related to love, I really want us to have a clear vision, maybe even a statement, on the ways that this blog aims to contribute to conversations already happening in the blogosphere. I highly respect the folks who make blogging the amazing institution of the 21st century that it is, and I want to carve my own space and also continue that legacy.

It already leads by example, and it captures the core of what I want to articulate in my own introduction.
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It’s nice to be here so let me do my thing.”
