+I love hearing from people and talking shop, so like like [other](https://www.kalzumeus.com/standing-invitation/) [nice](https://hillelwayne.com/open-invite/) people on the internet, I extend an invitation to you: [email me about whatever](mailto:brian@brianthicks.com)!
+
+Some things I'd love to talk about, or hear about:
+
+- frontend development, especially Elm stuff.
+- things technologists can do to help with social problems, especially the climate crisis.
+- community organization, especially meetups and (in non-pandemic times) conferences.
+- neat papers and essays
+
+I'd also be happy to answer questions about any of that, or anything I've written in general.
+But please don't feel like you have to offer me something just to ask a question—I just love getting emails from people!
+[Hit send](mailto:brian@brianthicks.com)!
+
+Once it's safe to do so, I'd also love to meet in person if you're in the St. Louis area.
