Let's talk lore. Do you prefer to share your own lore or do people have to pry it out of you?

I'm feeling generous so here's your lore for the day: I refused to eat ketchup as a child because it was red. The day Heinz came out with colored ketchups was a pivotal moment in my childhood (blue was the best one).
Highlights for the week include: student startup grants and scholarships, workshops for Women's History Month and AI, pitching, pondering, and legal consultations !
