@mekkaokereke @Bam @thetitanborn any specific things allies can do to help? My brain jumped to helping finance and support primarily black or BIPOC instances but I’m a bit sheltered/privileged and there’s bound to be a lot I’m missing.

An overzealous powerwashing crew sent by my landlord's office started our building early without us being given any notice, so now I'm having a massive allergic reaction from dust and pollen, had to move a ton of shit off my patio, and they damaged my brand new doormat.

Cambridge/Boston! Thank you for the good times and reminding me what walking in snow felt like. Same time next year?

Also thanks to MIT’s Puzzle Club and team teammate for putting on a fun (if slightly lengthy and challenging) mystery hunt, as well as @mattl and @doctormo for company on my final evening here.
