KATRINA:  When Avdi suggested the episode, I started thinking a lot about who in
the community do I really respect and why. And the ‘why’ being important, like,
what can I do to be more like them. And a few of the things — I’m not even sure
if I should mention names or call people out. One of the things that someone I
respect deeply does is that they very positive on Twitter. Like, they do not
complain on Twitter as sort of an action that they do.

DAVID:  I think you should call them out for that because that person is
awesome.

KATRINA:  Okay. So, “Tenderlove” Aaron Patterson.

DAVID:  Yes.

KATRINA:  Specifically chooses to be positive on Twitter. He puns, he jokes.
He’s whimsical. He says nice things. He calls out good work.

JAMES:  Shows pictures of cats.

CHUCK:  [Laughs]

KATRINA:  Shows pictures of cats. And it’s truly enjoyable.

DAVID:  He’s the guy who did Hug Friday, right?

JAMES:  Yes.

CHUCK:  Yeah, he started it.

KATRINA:  Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And I just find that truly enjoyable. And I
try to emulate that thing that he does by not complaining on Twitter, for
example.

DAVID:  Wow!

JAMES:  Not complaining on Twitter?

DAVID:  That would get rid of like two-thirds of my Twitter feed.

CHUCK:  [Laughs]
