You don't know me from Adam, though we had occasional interactions on twitter back in the day.
You have one of the finest minds it's ever been my privilege to come across. I neither know, nor care, what you look like.
I just want you to do you.
Be your beautiful self.

@iamdavidobrien@mastodon.social Thank you, David, that's lovely. And I don't have a problem with going gray, it's more of a scientific curiosity to watch it. But it is also inevitable that it affects the assumptions people make about you in personal interactions.
Which makes it a particularly interesting effect of online communities like this that we end up getting to know people without knowing what they look like, or with only the occasional reminders of it.
