@keikreutler is the fkn best! We’re so honored to have her thoughts re: on-chain orgs in a way that’s so unique and personable.

Sidenote: This work was published as part of a fellowship we ran last year. I’m always looking for new artists, writers, thinkers and coders for @syndicate; so folks should absolutely hit me up to learn more and get involved :)
