One of our New Year's resolutions is to be on this particular site much less/not at all. You can find us on the other social medias (socials media?), now including 🟦 and 🧵, at the same handle.
A momentous occasion and an excellent opportunity for you to join us at The Other Place, where we’re hanging out these days.
