Yeah, you’ve GOT to hand it to him

I’m curious if he needs any people who are mostly useless for that situation. Haha, if you’re reading this and feel like importing a Canadian sommelier/graphic designer/writer I could use a change of scenery.

How was defending your thesis?

Hmm, neat. I'll give it a shot.

So I have to ask, how are you going to generate revenue from this?

Is it like an amazon affiliate link thing if people buy books they see (and if so, could you consider pushing people to bookshop.org as well, to support indie booksellers and not Bezos)?

Or are you still in a userbase building phase and premium stuff and ads roll out later?

I registered back in ‘97 with the Canadian Red Cross. Later, sometime in the year after my parents died six months apart from different cancers I was contacted and told I was an excellent match (I forget what terminology they used but I think it was “5/5”). I was beyond elated and 100% willing but needed to answer a few questions before I moved to the next stage.

Even though I told them I’d be willing to be celibate for whatever length of time they deemed responsible and that I had never had unprotected sex, I was disqualified because I’m gay.

My question for Brianne — would you have been willing to take the risk?

My question for Tony — it seems like this has been a life changing experience for you ... can you describe what it feels like, physically, to have saved a life?
