When we make up a solution, put together a near enough or good enough fix for something, it may not be pretty. And it may not be perfect.

Yet this exclusion - when accidental - is not necessary, again. One ‘accident’ of leaving someone off a list somewhere should alert you that you need to be hyper-aware of inclusion. Every single time you’re trying to include people. check your list.
