New plan this week because I keep failing blood tests (in that they fail to get a successful draw) because my veins are hard for folks. Hydrating constantly so at least we can't say that my lack of hydration is an issue.

I really do feel like most people need to spend a little time, even one day a year, doing basic service in their own community like feeding people.

Someone recently asked my github had no messaging feature and I laughed, because we’ve built it and scraped it internally like 3 times.

I worked on one of them because I was like if we build this I want it to be anti-abuse focused.
