    @Whey_standard @pschaap My mom has hearing problems, so if texts fail I move it to long-form systems like email and FB Messenger. She instinctively takes them more seriously - like, this is a place where everyone uses paragraphs. (I use paragraphs in texts. When people are being nice, I'm "unique".)
