The Daily Whatever, May 12: Medium in Memoriam with Walter Rhein & Patrick Stewart
Dear beloved, we gathered here today to celebrate the loss of the Medium we've known and loved
Fellow Medium mourners,
Thank you all for joining me and sharing your memories both fond and frustrating of what Medium has meant to you—with extra special huge thanks to Walter Rhein and Patrick B. Stewart for being such incredible guests.
This was exactly the cathartic moment I was hoping for. We shared our stories, our joys, our laments, all of it. We have loved Medium. We continue to love Medium. We hope Medium gets it together, because we’d love to keep writing and thriving there, going forward.
Thank you Robin Wilding, Füsun Aydın, Debra Groves Harman, Untrickled by Michelle Teheux, Karen Marie Shelton. Brandon Ellrich, and many others for tuning in.
You make this so much fun, every single day.
Join us tomorrow when Peter William Murphy will be joining Lawrence Winnerman and me for what promises to be a lively conversation about living one’s life goals.
LOVE YOU MEAN IT!!!!
