I can’t get the “I want this” button to work. It tells me something went wrong.

  Hi! I just checked your email and it’s listed as “unconfirmed” which means you didn’t click the link in the first email. If you didn’t see it, my best guess is it landed in your junk folder. If you can check that folder for my email ([email protected]) and click the link, you’ll be set ◡̈
