public event @Laniakea

I, Erick Rosado, earlier this evening, at an event where i was excited to share my status as a branched individual with a group of friends and allies, i made the poor decision to consume alcohol while on a non-laniakea medication for an arm rash. this had an inebriating effect, which caused me to say some deeply regrettable things. in the moment, i thought i was being funny, but in the hours since this outburst, i’ve been reminded just how seriously my company affects the lives of real people around the world. when laniakea falters, it’s our cherished workers and their families who suffer first. so, for the fear and insecurity this has caused, i must sincerely atone. distrust of laniakea has been, sadly, endemic since its founding. my words provided more fuel for pernicious hate and derision. when i said my innie was being tortured, this was a joke and a lie. i’m committed to this company with every version of me, but i’m also human—just like my innie, and just like you.
