I am not an artistic person. When I am motivated to make something, I take that seriously, because it's a lot of work for me; it doesn't come naturally. If the world moves on and the thing I made takes on new connotations, I need to evaluate that carefully to make sure I'm not letting fear override my real motivations. Otherwise I'm just building more roadblocks for myself.
I'm interested in stories about how communities are dealing with this. If you're willing, you can email me (khm at sdf org) or share your story here

People who use yubikeys: this product perfectly holds a Yubikey 5C Nano for keychain containment. The Delrin model is nonconductive and won't scratch your shit.
