With TWO HOURS TO GO left on Spritely's supporter drive I am gonna give a LIVE THREAD about why you should support @spritely and why I am SO PROUD OF THE WORK WE ARE DOING HERE!

@cwebber @spritely I would like to point out that you've now raise more than Free Our Feeds, despite all their big name support.

Huge accomplishment.

Here's me holding the secret lore of MIT AI memos that I, and I alone, have at my house and which are not uploaded on the internet please donate to the Spritely Institute (donate ENOUGH and maybe I will seek to get them archived so everyone can read them) https://spritely.institute/donate/

"Christine this is really too much"

I appeal to you one final time, one last attempt to thirstpost to a Very Particular Kind of Person into donating to the Spritely Institute

Here is me holding an ORIGINAL COPY of Guy L. Steele's dissertation, RABBIT: A Compiler for SCHEME

Please donate to the Spritely Institute https://spritely.institute/donate/

Okay maybe the "let's outraise Free Our Feeds" wasn't my one and only shallow fundraising post I am not sorry

@simon_brooke @cwebber good times, that was the text for the Programming Languages and Paradigms course I took in 1996
