So, I launched an itch funding campaign last week. I had zero plans to do this. It was an interaction with an NFT dickhead on Twitter that spur me into action and got the ball rolling. I am funding this project now. Out of spite. Probably not my wisest move. Nonetheless, I press forward with

After reading through a Twitter thread of folks discussing old blogs and writing they revisited, and mostly cringed at, I decided I would do the same. This was not ideal.
