Immaculate Conception

Hi Friends!

Well @handofzara beat me to the punch, but i wanna’ wish our sweet lil’ mermaid a happy birthday too!

Hi Precious! Happy Birthday!!! You may not have been fully realized (launched) on this day last year, but you were definitely conceived one year ago today. You see i remember it well, because last year on March 13th it was my birthday too, and there was a “Town Hall” meeting where a few good folks of SSG discovered that our “Community Bot” (and the $7,000 wallet) had been claimed by the member operating it. It was all shady as fuck given that the operator (who argued poorly that he should be the sole owner of the robot) had been accepting payment for running it as a “community” account while at the same time collecting delegations and demanding 100 upvotes from everybody, while implying that it was a community project, instead of what it was: a soley owned, for profit, one person enterprise. It was a total shit-show and i’m glad that Staxx and Phail are mostly creeping around other parts of Steemit in relative ignomy. What a deuce.

Anyway, because of this foul play, a few of us put our heads together and concieved of Precious.
And here we are, 1 year later going strong and rocking a 130k SP upvote. And, perhaps more amazing, there have been zero issues with her (trust or otherwise) and the transparency we have offered has been just that — perfectly clear. As the title of this piece implies, we have been freed from original sin and imbued with the good graces of beauty and truth.

But i digress...

I was thrilled to see that there is a new pendant being offered by Menē — i wonder if @goldmatters had anything to do with this (?) given the timing and all. Anyway, they inocked it outta’ the park again!

And i notice that Menē has offered me a $49 birthday credit as well — so maybe i’ll have to do a little online shopping later 👊🤩

So Happy Birthday girl!!!

You are a fine bit of fin and a whole lotta’ fun! Just keep on swimming with the rest of us and this wild school of thought is going to do magical things.

Special thanks to the good guys who do much and ask for little — and don’t rip anyone off!
