The Stars and the Cookie Jar

Because it's about tidings of comfort and joy, people.

indy_go  is a curatrix of the past, and of cool old dusty archival books. She keeps things from being forgotten.

copperbadge  is a perfect gentleman from a bygone era.

friede  is an artist who really captures the expression of a person, even when their face can't quite be seen.

yuki_onna  has taken the lemons and made sharp-sweet lemon granita with a lemon-peel twist on the rim of the glass.

wickedtrue  gives people icons, and gives people smiles, and gives people a better day.

shirei_shibolim  bakes bread. You have to be a certain kind of person to bake good bread, with a certain patience, and spirit, and willingness to experiment.

muffinbutt  reminds me of myself, and that reminds me to be as thoughtful as she is to other people.

setissma  is a stuffed, plush pseudomonas, or maybe a campylobacter. A bacterium is really a very beautiful, delicate, well-designed thing, lest you think this isn't nice.

vivien529  has an evil giggle, and she shares it, too.

miraielle  is always a welcome guest at our table.

villainny  brightens your day because you want to hug her and spin her around. I want a Nny for my very own.

copinggoggles  is elegant and has a classical mind. I think of her in some ways as Sappho thought of Cleis.

la_rainette  is awesome, and she believed in our future almost before we did.

mortifyd  knows that the purpose of the descent can be found in the ascending again.

genarti  is a warmhearted writer who always leaves good comments. This says more about a person than you'd think, in this medium.

twoweevils  are my inspiration to fight, if I must, for a very quiet, boring, domestic sort of thing. Because they did it first, I can follow after.

metallumai  is a folkie at heart. This is also one of those things that says more than you'd think.

spiderine  brings the snark.

ari_o  is full of wit and independence and style.

fahye  has made a beautiful start.
