[Blindtlk] Don't give up on Facebook please!

Wed Aug 27 23:14:19 UTC 2014

Good afternoon, my blastomite brother, Mike,

         I, too, share your revulsion to social media yet, stupidly, 
I thought I could get away with making a Linked-in thing, went so far 
as to do it even, but figured out quickly that I'm just not into god 
dam prescriptions on all kina shit such as interviewing, hiring 
trends, ideal bosses, just to name a few. And, as you said, those 
canned invites. No! Presumably, you have my address and, given the 
internet being a bathroom wall, probably my number, too. No canned invites!
for today, Car
