@parcel For another data point, I’m willing to pay a higher tier subscription to offset API costs. Your business financials have to work out, and as long as you’re clear what the higher plan goes to, there would be no issue paying in my family. Parcel is an essential app we all use and enjoy daily.

@amelialiarakos I haven’t seen any of the animated series, and I’m enjoying Ahsoka. I do have a podcast from The Incomparable to thank for understanding the backstory, but honestly even without it the series has been fun to watch. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/
A Complicated Profession

Bounty hunting, not unlike podcasting, is A Complicated Profession. Your Star Wars pals Dan, Tony, and Kat are here to discuss all the new television series from a galaxy far, far away.

@collin I would be interested in that! I’ve been on Lexapro for 5 years now, and I forget what it was like without it. It made a huge difference is smoothing out the lows for me.

Time to #introduce myself.

Civic tech software engineer at CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). Previously USDS at The White House.

I love tinkering with #homeassistant and home automation. I raise guide dogs with my wife. I contribute to open source projects as time allows.

In a past life, I was a blogger in the 9rules network. I was active with WordPress and was the author of the Google Analyticator plugin.
