What's the best advice that you've ever been given?
I've given a lot of bad, poorly-timed advice, or advice that people are not ready for. I think, the best advice I could give is, this is what works for me, this is what I'm really passionate about... If anyone thinks what I'm doing is attractive, and if that person thinks they're ready for it, then go ahead and investigate it, however you're most comfortable, if and when you think you're ready to process that knowledge.
Looking For: fellow furries, anarchists, blockchain enthusiasts, queer folx, and also anyone who appreciates us
