If you want people to sign your #petitions or #OpenLetters:

Please, now, finally, really, absolutely understand that #captchas do not even achieve what you think they will, they just make your petition less accessible. Avoid these participation killers, they are nothing but harmful to your good cause.

I just gave up on yet another petition, after #Google #reCaptcha prompted me for the fourth time to click on this, click on that.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot.

If you agree, please boost.

people writing open letters should also know that the intended recipients don't actually care and won't bother reading them.
the letters themselves do draw a lot of attention, though.

Big thank you to everyone who helped draft or support this letter to the New York Times about its absolutely terrible coverage of trans people (and similar failures of the past).
