   There's a special level of hell for higher-ed marketers who think it's appropriate to put me on All The Marketing Spamlists when I make a one-time contribution in memoriam.

   Fuck you, Brandeis. Yes, I'm calling you out. You cheapened my uncle's death with this 💩 and it's not okay.

   ("Travel the World with Brandeis! Conspicuous Consumption with Brandeis!" Fuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooooou, marketing scum.)

     I know exactly what you’re taking about, and it’s gross.

     I’m pretty sure Colorado State has at this point full burned my contribution in honor of cellist Barbara Thiem’s retirement on junk mail they’re sent me since.

     My contribution was earmarked! For music students! And they •still• tell me about their football team!

     @inthehands I mean, I even try to be nice and give un-earmarked funds, because I know earmarks are a PITA...

     ... and this is what I get? Ugh.
