Hello to everyone who's found me from starter kits! 👋 I'm a recovering graphic designer turned programmer/tech artist.

I co-founded @mischiefmstudio.bsky.social with my brother @itsalex.bsky.social so we could make Burger Bois! 👇🍔👇

LOVED you & @sashamutch.bsky.social 's talk! Made me feel so seen - thank you both for sharing!

We'll see how they respond - I'm hoping they'll realise how cooked it is now I've pushed back!

The transactions they insist were 2FA'd came to about $90 - so it could definitely be worse but it's not nothing! I'll DM you - will give them a chance to respond to my complaint before I public name & shame

I have a very strong theory as to what this could have been and if I'm right it's an /embarrassingly/bad exploit 💀
jessmwoodward.bsky.social
Update: CC company Fraud team says those transactions were successfully 2FA'd and I am on the WAR PATH

Because they are either LYING or they have somehow managed to set up such a flimsy security system that someone was able to add additional 2FA to the card without me verifying it

And that is BAD

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Nothing like waking up on the eve of an international flight to find that one of the cards you were gunna use for the trip has been comprised overnight

There were two Parallels slides that spoke to me especially hard. One was this one.

The other was about how making a silly game shouldn't be anxiety inducing, but I didn't get a photo because I was too busy being thousand-yard-stare-ed at by @itsalex.bsky.social and @stefpeacock.bsky.social
A photo of the projected screen at Parallels. It depicts the "to be loved is to be changed" Garfield plushie meme, but the text has been changed to read:

(Next to the new Garfield plushie) "To be exploited for labour"

(next to the use-worn Garfield plushie) "Is to be changed"

So sorry for your loss, Sean. It's so hard to lose someone who played such an integral part of your life, even if they haven't been in it for a while. 💙

Breaks are hard to come by, but when you have 'em, go outside! The noise inside is overwhelming and outside time helps a lot. Also recommend earplugs/Loops/similar if you're sound sensitive! :)

FEELS SO BAD. I'm far enough along in recovery that in daily life I have it pretty well managed. But that just means that I go to events and think I'll be safe to make choices like "spend 7 hours at a conference" and "go out to dinner" 💀

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome often involves taking calculated risks

and apparently this time around i have been bad at math 💀

...i didn't know this existed. Was it a limited time thing or are they still around? 👀
