Looking for service-agnostic, unified inbox mail client for Mac again. I have used Airmail Pro for a couple years and liked it, though it wasn’t perfect. But now the price went up and my discretionary budget is waaaay down, so it tipped back over that line where it doesn’t help *enough* and I’ll put up with annoyance to save a buck.

interested to hear about cheaper/free mail clients . Alternately, interested n salary options that would let me afford to throw cash at tech bothers again.

MediaWiki is definitely at the higher end of complexity, but I needed those extensions for the neat interactive map on the front page.

Some really good news! Last year ICE detained a 19yr-old with a university scholarship, by mistake and they knew she shouldn’t be there but kept her FOR 10 MONTHS! On top of that devastation, she lost her scholarship. A doctor took notice, got some other professionals involved, and she got her scholarship back. This cannot undo that 10 months of hell, but she got her future back.
