So, two weeks ago I made this news post about the virtues of being small time, and appreciating what I got, and how it doesn't matter if I ever hit the Portal.

Well, I just hit the Portal. Whoops.

I don't want to mention my patron in case they're the kind of person who doesn't appreciate these kinds of call outs, but if that person is reading right now, I just wanted to say HOLY CRAP THANK YOU. Also, dang, the pressure to now operate at a higher standard to merit the rank is a bit daunting, but also exciting. I hope to not embarrass anybody by getting pruned!
