also if everyone could take a second today to consider that martin shkreli went to prison for inconveniencing rich people and not for causing people to die, that would be great, thanks

@Airbnb updates: the head of community support called me (from a blocked number lol) and said im getting a refund. writing a 6,000-word article seems like a very normal and good amount of effort to have to exert in exchange for basic customer service

frank was a true legend, and he loved florida more than anyone i've ever met. we spent a month drinking rum and trying to see a panther together in 2014. we didn't succeed, but he taught me what it means to care about a place.
