Good day all! I'm very excited for tomorrow's show with @thisismissem . Just a FYI, there's a chance it might not happen, and that's ok. We go with the flow and we reschedule when needed. Just send Emelia your best vibes and we'll play it by ear. :-)

Emelia works on Moderation and Trust & Safety tooling for the Fediverse. She is a contributor to #Mastodon & other projects. You've probably used code she's written. Worked on the Fedi in 2018.
