Here at [community profile] covidcoffeecorner, we start to close down as other parts of life open up. We've reached the end of May, and as many parts of the world are beginning to open their doors again, we're closing ours. We're going to shut down our virtual coffee machine, lift the chairs onto the tables, wipe down the floors, and count our blessings.

It's been a comfort for me to have somewhere to turn for conversation while isolating in my apartment and a joy to meet new people and learn so much from your topics of conversation. I hope you all feel the same way.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered to host a conversation and kept us going for these past two and a half months: [profile] smallhobbitt, [profile] lashlarue, [profile] usedsongs, [personal profile] liv, [personal profile] ng_moonmoth, [personal profile] tozka, [personal profile] cabepfir, [personal profile] tielan, [personal profile] glass_icarus, [personal profile] liseuse, [profile] verdande_ni, [personal profile] redbird, [profile] brumier, [personal profile] pensnest, [personal profile] z_badfaith, [personal profile] glinda, [personal profile] mothwing, [personal profile] dine, [personal profile] kat_lair, [personal profile] aome, [personal profile] rosefox, [personal profile] write_out, [personal profile] tjs_whatnot, [personal profile] shadowhive, [personal profile] highlyeccentric, [personal profile] wpadmirer, and [personal profile] therealsnape.

Thank you, too, to everyone who kept us going by stopping by to comment. I'm not going to list names here because I don't want to leave anyone out, but you've all been amazing--thoughtful, funny, bringing to so much life experience, large and small, to our conversations.

Thanks to [personal profile] light_of_summer, who had the brilliant idea of a post to collect conversation topics, and [personal profile] octahedrite, who made our banners.

And so much appreciation to co-mod [personal profile] therealsnape, whose comments about sociability got us going, who lent us the name for the comm, and who's been a key source of moral and practical support and level-headed good sense.

We're going to close down conversation here for the moment and hope (hope!) there will be no reason to reopen. But if any of you live in places that start go through a second wave, drop on by, let us know, and we'll re-open the cafe.

Your mods,
[personal profile] magnetic_pole and [personal profile] therealsnape

ETA: an old-fashioned friending meme. Folks, I didn't think of this earlier when I was posting, but because many of us didn't know each other before chatting here, perhaps we'd like to stay in touch? Please feel free to add a comment if you're looking to connect with others on DW. I'll leave a text box below to make it (hopefully) less awkward.
