1/5 Giving circles are a powerful way to make a difference. Over the past 2 years, my giving circle has supported 18 organizations tackling critical issues. From housing insecurity to climate change, we're making an impact together.
I’ve seen this episode before. Watch out for Danny.

Oh man. I just responded in good faith to a bot. I guess that's ok? Feels like I shouted into the void and the void responded with a "positive, cheerful reply, ask a question at the end of your response."
Hey - just found out that you can't HTML files as NFTs on Zora anymore. Does anyone know why this change happened? Recommendations on other places to do this instead?
What a time to be alive.

Because of crypto, we're asking:
- How do we make decisions?
