Happy birthday, Jessamyn! September 5, 2019 11:41 AM Subscribe
In the grand tradition of celebrating jessamyn day every year, happy birthday to you up there in VT and to me and all the other MeFites whose day it is! You were one of my very first Internet Heroes, who just seemed comfy in knowing things and being good to people.

Happy birthday to my favorite librarian superhero!
(I think I say this every year and to me it never gets old. Btw I would love to read a librarian superhero comic about jessamyn fighting the good fight.)
Happy birthday September MeFites!

Happy Birthday you kickass weirdo! I came here to make the same joke as IRFH but I was trying to figure out some way to make it about a warrant canary birthday card and I got distracted, so here I stole this thing from the internet for everyone to sign.

Happy birthday!
Seems like a good place to note my general Jessamyn appreciation that I’ve had in the back of my head for awhile now: I always enjoyed your excellent moderation but I really love that post-mod work here you now have time to participate over on AskMeFi more, thank you for so many helpful answers over the years to such a breadth of questions! You’re a librarian to all!

Thanks! If you are on twitter feel free to leave me a GIF. It's a weird year for me since it's the birthday after a milestone birthday, a year that saw me getting shingles a month before I was eligible for the vaccine, and then a year that maybe saw them come back (look for "YANMD but...." AskMe thread at some point, I am fine for now). So, I'm back in Vermont early and not doing my usual "Me, my sister and Jim all do some wacky stuff" like usual. It's the first time in a while I've been home in Vermont for my birthday and it was a pretty good day, noodling around saying hi to people, dealing with chilly weather, unpacking, saying happy birthday to all the other Virgos, and checking in here as I am poised to beat Jim in a birthday Scrabble match.
Happy birthday to all the other MeFi birthday-havers today (remember you can look this stuff up!) and thanks lauranesson for kicking this off and your kind words.
