Hey Zine folks❗️
Is there already a good zine out there for helping people set up Signal?
If I can avoid reinventing the wheel, that'd be great.
I will, but don't want to have to make a series on
• what is Signal & why people use it
• downloading it & getting started
• intermediate tips & tricks

Someone in my FB Buy Nothing group asked for a DVD player bc they don't wanna support Netflix. Another neighbor commented that the show she wants to watch is on Amazon Prime & OP was like, "thanks, that works!" Lol, wut. I assumed she didn't like rich assholes, but apparently that wasn't the issue 🙃

Hey fellow parents, when you put "no presents, please" on a kid's b-day party invite, do you really mean it? I'm asking bc *I* really mean it, but we have 2 parties this weekend & these parents bought my kid gifts when I said no presents on the invite. Do I get their kids gifts?!?

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.
