It’s been an amazing run and I’m so proud of the work we did to bring even more design and arts scholarship and making into @HASTAC . Time to focus on more local efforts but I know the HASTAC community has amazing things ahead

Our six year old declared she/they (depends on the day) would like to have my skeleton when I'm dead so they can dress me up as a monster skeleton cat every Halloween and I. Am. So. Here. For. It. -- partner is a bit skeptical, tho.
