@georgetakei Hi George! I've always been a big fan of your work, but realizing now as I read your toots that you hold such political commitments...! I now admire you all the more for it. People say "never meet your heroes". If that was ever a thing, you prove it wrong! Thank you for your activism and your commitment to popular causes. Big hug from Argentina.
