@mollydotcom I think there’s more attention on those issues in general right now, and especially so i/r/t tech. (me too)

@lemay So any tips as you make it through this? Too bad you're not closer dammit! It really has been far too long, my dear.

@mollydotcom Ugh, I wish I had tips. :( Sometimes I get stubborn - fuck it, you can't get rid of me, I was here first. (h/t @ceejbot)
