Homies, we have a nice little community here. We brainstorm solutions to problems, share fantasies, debate, and educate. I want to take a second to be grateful for my online family, of which you are a large part. We can’t share a meal this week and we probably won’t be sending each other Winter Holiday Greetings, but I can still say, “Hi everybody. It’s so nice to put this site together for you.”
Here are some of the posts which have hosted some of the most enlightening conversations this year.
- What do you dread your guests finding?
- Entertaining Offbeat Eaters: feeding all the different diets at your party
- Can I love food and still love the earth?
- I love my exercise equipment and its secret use
- What will be the next decor trend?
And really, the best thing you can do if you don’t already read our comments is to start joining in. Every day I am happily surprised by a comment someone leaves or a little mini-discussion that happens. And last week? We talked about giant guinea pigs and capybaras and there were VIDEOS. I really do love the internet, and I really do feel lucky that this job makes it possible for me to spend most of my days talking to people online, writing, and curating content.
I’m sorry I’m so sappy. This time next year it’ll seem like old news and I’ll be sick of all of you, so I’ll just post photos of my friends butchering their own turkey or something.
Happy Thanksgiving. <3
we love you tooooooo ♥♥♥
and you should totally think of a holiday-greetings-post where we all can share the love via comments… or something…
we love the offbeat empire too! 🙂
I think now’s the time to show myself as the true offbeat empire fangirl I am and sing Ariel’s appreciation song: “I appreciate youuuu and all that you dooooo, I know you appreciate me toooo…” Happy Thanksgiving Cat!
Nerd points to you. 🙂 Thanks! Have a great weekend!
Glittery blinky heart gifs to you, too!
The best thing about the Offbeat Empire (and internet in general) is it makes me feel a little lesss lonely…knowing that there’s other people put there thinking along the same lines 🙂
THANKS TO ALL THE OFFBEAT EMPIRE PEEPS!
Especially Cat and Ariel. Yous guys are fucking awesome 😀
MWAH!!!!
Oh yay! I loves me some Offbeat Empire. I love how it’s grown from Offbeat Bride (which I happened across while doing research for my friend (which she ignored – bah)) to this big, weird, lovely bunch of people n’ posts n’ clicky links. I’ve found so much cool stuff through the OB.
Warm fuzzies all around!
Awwwww… we love you too, Cat!
