Terry Pratchett used the great Wizzard Rincewind to remind us that when fleeing something, the "fleeing *towards*" is less important than the "fleeing *from*".

What seeds are we planting? What communities are we nurturing?
Within 8-9 days new bills will arrive for our servers, media storage and emails send and we need your help in paying these 💸
