she's cleared! week later now pooping/eating normally, so that was side effect of anesthesia. BEST case scenario that the vet got everything out before wounds/intestinal issues.
however, vet bills wiped all my moving savings for beginning of Feb, so I still need assistance <3

Don't buy Starbucks gift cards this holiday season!
Santa checked his list twice and Starbucks is on the naughty list for ignoring workers and union busting.
This holiday season, unite with workers – don’t buy Starbucks gift cards while baristas are on strike. #NoContractNoCoffee

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

boosting this again because I'm seeing Stripe is literally trying to make people pay them to access their business contact information?? As if it's supposed to be a secret how to call Stripe?
Stripe especially is important to get a hold of right now and they're not making it easy! www.bbb.org/us/ca/south-...

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.
are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

My favourite of all of Supergiant's games. Even moreso than Hades
Part 3v3 wizard basketball sports drama visal novel, part action game, all reactive to player choice. Defeat is never the end (it's just sports!), and a lot of the best story arcs come from making mistakes.
Crank that difficulty up!

My insurance doesn’t cover glasses fully and I have been missing work due to migraines from having an outdated prescription.
If y’all have a couple dollars you could spare so I can order new glasses, I would greatly appreciate!
