Somewhere down at the 10th level: The parts in Sonic the Hedgehog where Sonic is about to drown underwater and the music gets really fast and dramatic.

Well, that seems to be the solution. Thanks. I know it's silly that I had to ask, but there are so many things I could reset that I was worried I would accidentally make my life more difficult by resetting the wrong thing.

Whenever I try to log into Hexbear on Firefox, I get an error along the lines of "Error: incorrect_login". However, I'm still able to log in when I use Chrome.

Is there an easy way to fix this? (E.g. is there something I can "clear" or "purge" or "reset"?) I'd really like to continue using Firefox rather than Chrome if possible.

How to find contact info for people (hexbear.net)

Hello there. For the first time, I actually have some concrete questions about activism/doing my part in a union.

I'm in a teaching assistant union that's currently on strike. Since I'm sick for a few days, I've requested to be part of the "remote work" group, and the task I've been assigned is to find contact information for people who've donated to the university.

It occurred to me that "tracking down a person's contact information" is probably a fairly useful skill to have in the context of organizing, so I thought I should ask whether there is any advice I should follow here?

The university lists the names of donors alongside the scholarships, grants, etc. So far, I've mostly just been Googling "(person's name) (name of university)" until I narrow down the right person, and usually find either a LinkedIn page or a page related to that person's business. (Or, a few times, an obituary). The only slightly more sophisticated thing I've done is "whois" lookups for websites. Is there anything else I should consider?
