@cawfee w/ @allie.cabal   How to Contact a Busy Person Don’t. Busy people are exhausting. They spend whatever free time they do have explaining to others how busy they are. Our advice?

When you’re a child, you’re told not to touch that, put that down, don’t even look over there. When you’re an adult, more of the same. Just different. Art galleries, museums, the sun, all textbook no-touch zones.  But that won’t stop us from trying. Go, NASA, go. (Wired🔺)   The Hidden Truth about Mansa Musa: The Richest Man in History You’re rich. You’re powerful. You want to do something nice, something good for the community in which you reign. So, in 100% good faith, you start dumping gold into the local economy.

The type of coffee that’s least likely to stain your teeth.  How to get water out of your phone speaker. Red flags to watch for when you’re searching for a remote job.
