Twitter is a hellscape, right?

Wrong.

Twitter is what we make it. So allow me to show you the small kind miracles you have facilitated in the past two weeks alone:
I got baptised. Because there was a plague, many of those I loved couldn't attend. I asked twitter if people would light candles for me.

Hundreds of people, from every continent on earth (and multiple religions) sent photos of candles they'd lit for me. https://twitter.com/JayHulmePoet/status/1320042289528508417?s=19
The day before my Baptism, I told you all about my church - about how it was beautiful and ancient and inclusive and just about making it financially. I asked you to donate if you believed in the church, or wanted to give me a baptism gift... https://twitter.com/JayHulmePoet/status/1319593977256042498?s=19
You were so generous to that tiny queer church in a random all city that in two days you donated nearly 1/3rd of the entire yearly income of the church. We went from having literally no money in the bank, to being able to plan for a future.

It was more than a minor miracle.
Three days after that, I travelled to Norwich - because of the attention paid to my previous church threads I'd been invited to make a record of, and share, a church that had had to close.
At the church I found annotated books that bore witness to an incredibly important story of women's rights in Norwich in the 1800's and 1900's. Today, because of the attention you paid to the thread, they were collected to be preserved in a local archive. https://twitter.com/JayHulmePoet/status/1322100912521924608?s=19
You, all of you, have been complicit in so many tiny miracles.

The world is what we make it.

Let's make it wonderful.
