Already very aware of stroke, thanks
An email subject line reading "Stroke risk increases with age, but strokes can be prevented. May is National Stroke Awareness Month." The email in question landed in the inbox of a stroke survivor who is already extremely aware of stroke, thanks very much.

This quote is hilarious, because everybody knows the reason is that most nonprofit startups do not start with @zivabranstetter.bsky.social and @caryaspinwall.bsky.social
Screenshot of a quote from Ziva Branstetter: "We had some sizzle early on that some nonprofits just can't get for whatever reason."

I bet he says that to all the girls.
An email top reading: "Hi Silas, First things first, I want to say GOOD JOB on the stories you've been creating over the past few months. I've been following your work and the content is always the most engaging 😅 Since I'm familiar with your style of writing, Silas, I thought I'd share a press release I've been working on. It's about drunk driving deaths in Southern U.S. states."

Happy post Thanksgiving leftover gumbo day to all who celebrate.
