So you're kind of obsessed with toasters. Are you alone?

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted on here in awhile but I recently moved to Italy and it feels like life has gotten ahead of me. I have so many half written posts that I haven't gotten around to finishing. I'm hoping to be finishing up those soonish. For now, here's a quick thought I'd like to share with you.

When I was younger, just starting this blog over three years ago, I was convinced I was the only person in the world who loved toasters. I didn't know about the toaster fandom or the toaster conventions or the makers, the artists, the collectors. But now I know that I, we, are not alone in our toaster journeys.

It took me getting a kind comment from "the gay toaster" to realize this. They reached out to me saying that they have found their people on this blog. That meant a lot to me and got me thinking about how far I've come. And none of it could have been possible without you, every single one of you.

To all of you, even those who could care less about toasters, please remember that no matter how weird or niche you think your hobby, passion, or obsession is, you can still find community, support, and understanding.

So thank you all so so much. The toaster fandom continues to grow thanks to you. You all mean more to me than I think you realize. Thank you.
