A care share for the rest of us.

The main difference between the jiffy share and the care share is that all gifts must fit into an A5 Jiffy Bag. For reference that is a padded envelope apprx 170 x 245mm.

If you can't buy A5 envelopes you can use whatever local equivalent.

The reason for limiting everything to an A5 envelope is to cut down on postage. You cannot opt out of international delivery in the jiffy share! I will strive to match everyone with people who are very far away from them. That's the whole idea.

I am not going to set an upper value limit on the things you send BUT if you want to send diamonds do not expect to get diamonds back. I am hoping this share will be more of a DIY jizz. Cool things you could send and receive:

- Diamonds
- Zines
- USB stick mixtapes
- Drawings
- Pins
- Totes
- Fridge Magnets
- Locks of hair
- Books
- USB stick TADS games
- DVDs
- Book vouchers
- Refresher bars

Here is the form if you want to get in on this

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/148ysSM ... =send_form

I will end registration in one week! Tell your friends who always say "aww shucks I wish I could do the care share but I am in Mcmurdo station and the postage is really high!!" THEY DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE ANYMORE.

What's the deadline for sending things?

i'm am this levels of excited about this share:

Bumpppppp

I don't know when the deadline is. Two end after the closing is that enough time to make a zine?

really like how much effort you would have to put in to make it all nice and cool

cant just buy a bunch of cool stuff and have a big box to compensate

finally i can get rid of all these diamonds

Many prominent and creative care-taggers have signed up. I can't guarantee that you'll get something cool from one of them if you sign up. But if you DON"T sign up you'll NEVER get anything cool from them. And this is probably your last chance to get anything cool from anyone before the ice caps melt and cool things become incredibly valuable commodities.

i'm ready

Sknss said she had 40 people in her care share and I don't have that many. She is cyber bullying me about it on various social media platforms. She says I should "GOML".

Please sign up to the jiffy share so that she stops this campaign of vicious harassment.

I want to do this but I'm not going to fill out a form you huge square

How else am i going to organise it oucho

do you want everyone to PM me their details and I have to parse it all? I can't do that I'm too busy. I'm really busy.

you're not busy you lie

Why does no one think I'm busy? Is it because you all think I'm so depressed all I do is stare at screens?

I'm really busy! Fill the form in! Today is the deadline!

I like this share so much I filled the form out twice

len has generously volunteered to send two shares out by filling in the form twice.

Everyone should have their assignments now.

If you haven't I've probably screwed something terrible up.

Is two weeks too short of a ship date? Three weeks? Maybe it should be a month to give people time to make all the shit

shipping deadline is Dec 28th.

some people are like "A5 envelopes are too small"

I'm not a cop. If you want to use A4 I'm not going to stop you. Just remember the philosophy behind this share.

Anything more than A4 is not acceptable and I will become a cop.

what if i send things that would fit in an a5 envelope but instead i put it in a very large box

If you haven't shipped yet things are beginning to look ruff.

Americans who are FREAKING OUT about A5 (A5??????) envelopes please DO NOT freak out. Just find a padded envelope that fits your stuff and send it.

I will COME FOR YOU if you don't fill out this form.

If you are "too cool" for forms I will intercept your jiffy share and get it sent to me myself.

Are we posting our care shares? I think I'm the first to receive mine. Blastoise sent me a lot of really cool stuff from Minnesota:

Included in the package:
The Snows of Kilimanjaro (love Hemingway, I've read a bunch of his novels + short stories but never Snows of Kilimanjaro)
4 Daim (delicious)
2 packets of brown rice tea (very yummy)
4 dope pins
1 flash drive of cool music
3 things of embroidery floss (I was looking for a good yellow)
1 Bless bag (for when I need to flex via the ziploc bag containing my sandwich)
1 crazy comic
Thank you!
