The best people I know are nerds. They’re folks like my friends in PA, like my friends nearby who have a CNC shop in their former bedroom, my friends in Somerville who have an armory in their shed & make actual armor, like my brother and my sister-in-law, like my friend Joe in Dallas, like my mom.

Nerds find ways to make the world better. If you’re a nerd, hang in there. It’s not easy these days, but we’re stronger together.
