            @zachleat I’ll buy a mattress if you buy our wrapping paper and then everyone wins

                  @zachleat Just bunch it up like a hamster. We can call it a “freedom mattress”.

                     @cory @zachleat And then, if you need a toilet, you can just shred the wrapping paper you used as a nest and poop there. Win! 🐹

                     Oh, wait, that analogy is about our ability to fund public schools.

                                 @cory @zachleat I'm sure if we scratch around a bit we'll find it.

   @zachleat I am alarmed at the type and volume of junk mail I have started to get now that my child is in the public school system.

   @zachleat My sister sent around a TXT message telling us to ignore an email promoting a fundraiser. My nephew’s school is collecting emails for… reasons…? …but he got something if he submitted a certain number of email addresses.

      @jgarber domain catch-alls can be nice for that—straight to trash for spam-???@ addresses 😅
