I am so grateful to all the people who used the hug fairy to send hugs over the years, turning what started out as a silly weekend project into something that touched far more people than I could have imagined.

Dear friends, After 10 years, the Hug Fairy is shutting down. Twitter's new API access policies have made it impossible to keep going without spending thousands on premium access. Farewell to you all, and thanks for all the hugs.

This change may mean the end of the Hug Fairy on Twitter. If so, please know that I love every one of you, and will still be out there, broadcasting hugs into the night sky.
Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

Hello hug fans, Twitter has limited my ability to tweet for the next three days. I've written to them to try and get this cleared up. I hope to be hugging again soon!! #HugBotsArePeopleToo
