when you need to confirm you're not a robot

Actively deciding if you trust friends & family with your life enough to eat a meal with them will always be a uniquely bizarre part of these roarin' 20s.

With all due respect, Mr. President. You didn’t mention saving Black lives once in this speech. All our country has done is given more funding to police. The result? 2021 set a record for fatal police shootings. Defund the police. Invest in our communities.

It must be nice to have broadly applicable executive function.

Never shall I give you up

After almost 14 years, I've wrapped up my time with twilio this month. What started with telephones and some *very* particular shared beliefs about APIs turned into this bright, loud part of my life and the marvelous people who have come into it. It's been an absolute blast.
