3. so you and everybody else: safer

Oh the irony of preemptively deleting a half-composed toot about being overly self-critical about my own toots. ๐
A couple weeks ago @courtney and I published the legal document that transforms our standard LLC into an LLC that operates on cooperative principles.
We published it with annotations so you could understand why we made some of the decisions we did.
