A humble request.
Before you invite me to zoom, ask whether it could be a phone call.
Before you call me, ask whether it could be a text.
Before you text me, ask whether a DM would be better.
Before you slide into my DMs, ask whether email might be more considerate, in this case.
Before you send an email, do you really need the post office to survive?
Before you mail me a letter finally, ask yourself,
How treacherous are our words?
Despairing, come to where I am; take my face in your hands.
"Because we speak to each other only through a wire grille and our time is up" -Adam Cornford, Psalm (V) of the Anger
