⚙Things Done Well⚙ Volume 27 - Cozy Digital Transformation?

Hello Reader, ✨It's nerd party time!!✨ But, first things first: Find a Palestinian solidarity encampment in your area and give them the money or supplies they need to help them stay the course!! I feel so hopeful that the tide is turning. Support the Freedom Flotilla however you can. This civilian led flotilla has 3 boats, hundreds of civilian volunteers from all over the world, and over 5000 tonnes of aid for the people of Gaza. They have been blocked at every turn and are currently stuck in...

Hello Reader! ✨I've got a something special in here for you!✨ BUT FIRST, here are some things I think you should check out before we dive into the nerdly-nerd-time! Kinfolk by Mereba.

Hello Reader, ✨Happy International Women's Month! (Yep. Month.)✨ First this: Oooh My. Ok. This newsletter has a prerequisite. You are required to take 4min and 12 seconds to watch this RIGHT NOW!
