2020 Friending Meme

[st_aurafina]

This helped me a lot in early 2017 when Trump had just been elected, and I am hoping we can get the same feeling going again, after the UK election was such a shock.

Connections are important when it feels like the world is getting darker. Fandom is a huge and strong network of people. We don't always get along, but we're stronger together.

Make new friends, reconnect with those who have drifted, enlarge your circle, and know you are not alone.

To play, cut and paste this text into a comment, fill out the details and tell us about yourself. Then go find new people to add.

ETA on Sat morning AEST: This text box was functionally busted a few hours ago, so if you grabbed the code then, you might have an image with no link. It's fixed now, with all new alt text for screen readers. If your promo link is just an image, please replace the code with what's in the box now. Thanks for all the posts, btw! Giraffes popping up everywhere.

LOL oh god well you've found my cranky book opinions. Glad to find a like mind though! I just don't get the hype ;p

I am a meme nonnie too, and like you say, I'm looking for fandom-positive people in general. I hope it's ok to add you?

[silverflight8]

hello fellow meme nonny! I lurk mostly and have not really read for a good chunk of time (work ugh) but it is a great fandom happening spot I think. Definitely good to add! I added you back :)
