Just heard about Sentenc.es – A Disciplined Way To Deal With Email. Not sure if I have that in me, but it is certainly an interesting idea.
The gist is, you make the pledge to yourself, and then include the link to the appropriate subdomain in your sig file, so people will know and not get [...]
About-Face’s stated mission is to arm “women and girls with tools to understand and resist harmful media messages that affect their self-esteem and body image,” has sprung up.
