@webology @veldakiara I don't have time to watch this. But I'm watching it. Because it's Velda, with @wsvincent and @carlton

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@djangochat/116210589119616128
I’m about halfway through this episode of @djangochat and @veldakiara said the most amazing/funny thing I’ve ever heard
“I didn’t subscribe to this level of adulting”
Feeling the same over here 🤣
Go take a listen. It’s a good one!
