Huge respect for @npub1dvxe...gems for cancelling #fediforum and taking time to reflect, listen and learn. I'm really sad that we didn't get the event this time, but there has been a good discussion around the issues and future opportunities.

I am back from Austin and it's my birthday today! If you wish to support my work I have a ko-fi thingy I'll link to here (I've been *mostly* living off savings 💸 for the past ∼2.5 years; I'm grateful to be back in a full-time role from this month, working on something I care deeply about). Otherwise, do me a birthday favour and do what I strive to: listen, have empathy, & be good to others in this world. I appreciate the friends I've made in communities online 💗
