It's early days but I'm hoping to be able to offer <em>something</em> for people to use eventually.</p> <span id="continue-reading"></span> <p>Wouldn’t it be great to confidently give them your email address, but with a slight passive aggressiveness to make the situation more awkward for them, and less awkward for you‽</p> <p>Enter thisisnotmy.email. thisisnotmy.email is a fully functional email service. When someone asks you for your email address, just say:</p> <blockquote> <p>“Sure, it’s my name at this is not my, all one word, dot email”</p> </blockquote> <p>And let them decide whether it’s worth continuing on with this worthless data collecting routine.</p> </div> <div class="pagination"> <div class="pagination__title"> <span class="pagination__title-h">Thanks for reading!
