    As part of a scavenger hunt for charity, I'm fundraising to support indigenous families losing their homes (to support the people, not...you know). For the next 24h, I'll match all donations to our fundraiser here https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/itlmooseavngngbdgrslovessmeagish up to 1k. Donate or share, please! Everything helps (and I'm doubling, so it helps twice!!)
