email masking
“Email masking” is a relatively new service offered to act as an intermediary between your “real” email and a “masked” email. If you aren’t comfortable giving out your “real” email address somewhere, you can simply use the “masked” one and still receive emails from the service.
Think of it like a PO Box, a completely new address from your old one, where you can direct spam, and unimportant messages.
note: it will likely be much simpler to set up a fresh email address to communicate anonymously, but I’m taking the chance to inform you about a new internet safety tool.
You are welcome to email me freely using the addresses found at the bottom of how to reach out, however,
If you would like to maintain full anonymity of your email address, you should create a masked email, and message me through the submission form.
For clarity, these emails only will be delivered to me. A simpler solution would be to create a new email address that you only use to communicate with me. However, it’s a perfect time to advocate for a new security measure in addition to our already existing ones.
To create a masked email address, you will want to use Firefox, Chrome, or DuckDuckGo web browsers.

After you have your anonymity secured, either drop a masked email on the how to reach out form, or email me directly from a fresh email.
Masked emails will be unable to email me directly, and will likely need to use the form each time to communicate. For this reason, making a brand new email address may be easier for people who don’t mind making one.
Then I can listen to you, however you would prefer me to.
