Hey y'all, my favorite conference, @magnolia.boo , needs sponsors.

It has the best food, supports an under-served community, and as the inaugural costume contest winner, I can say it has the best costumes!

Sponsorships start at $500, so send this to your company:

Shoutout to Zapier for having the most thoughtful first-round rejection email Iโ€™ve ever gotten. Listed the criteria they used to evaluate candidates and linked to other remote job listings at their partner companies. 11/10 will apply again.
