Xander ✺ @spectralcodex.com · Apr 2 Finally got around to requesting data deletion from 23andMe today. It's been a wild ride over the years; I ordered a kit back when I was knee-deep in my evolutionary biology undergrad, curious about my mysterious origins, and actually forked out $500 to find out I'm a bog-standard white person 🍞
