Hello everyone
I’m really sorry to say this
but I have to ask you to stop sending me direct messages and emails.
In the past I have—
This may sound—
It may sound like I’m contradicting my previous requests
and that’s because I am
Yes
In the past I asked you to email me
I asked you to do this many times
Yes I asked you a lot
and uhh
I don’t know how to put this but
I made a mistake.
On a given day—
It’s currently sitting between ten and twenty private messages a day
Some are short and don’t require much response
Some are big and warrant something lengthier
Some are questions
Some are comments
Some are offers of collaboration or work or whatever
The vast majority are very lovely! it’s nice
Some are not nice or they’re intense in some way
Sometimes people get cross with me because I don’t reply to them in time or I don’t reply to them at all
Listen. If I replied to every message I wouldn’t get anything done
There are too many!
I have a backlog of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and
Post your message in public instead!
No more DMs please
No more emails please
Post it for everyone to see!
Unless it REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to be private
Then we switch to public as soon as we can
Thank you
This blog post is not about you! Though I think some of you will think that it is.
No, it is about everyone
Thank you
