It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

sometimes your body does one (1) thing right and it is temporarily forgiven for all of the immune system catastrophes, mysterious pains, fucky brain chemistry, endless fatigue, and other little maladies it inflicts at the least convenient moments.

everyone needs someone who validates their most absurd beliefs in a kind of "yes, and" way. I told my roommate I'd be really good at being Taylor Swift and she immediately agreed.

DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg.

His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority.

meanwhile, at Cuomo HQ:
a photo from the viral "Willy's Chocolate Experience" event that was a notorious failure: the photo is of a woman in a green wig standing in front of a poorly-hung black sheet. She has a table with haphazard "lab equipment". There is a fog machine seemingly pointed at her. Her expression is exhausted. The overall effect is both underwhelming and embarassing

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle.

Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

Text over a haunted forest which reads: Excerpt - With surprising gentleness, Roma lifted Haze’s bound wrists. With one swipe of her claw, she cut through the ropes, without leaving even a scratch on Haze’s skin. Haze flexed her fingers, tingling but otherwise fine. Without the focus that life-or-death stakes brought, it was hard to think, but they weren’t in the clear yet. “What about the other hunters?” “Dead.” Roma shrugged. “They would not surrender.” Haze accepted this without comment, though it made her blood run cold to talk about death so callously. “What about the other wolf, the one you were with?” “There is a Pack a few miles from here. I sent Ronan to warn them when we scented the hunters.” Her face softened. “I needed to make sure they were safe before I came back for you. I am sorry for the delay.” Haze swallowed. “You shouldn’t have come back for me at all.” To Haze’s surprise, Roma snorted. “I am very sorry for saving your life.” An arrow pointing at Clarke and Lexa from The 100 which says "sapphic enemies to situationship". Beneath it is a promo image from Teen Wolf with an arrow pointing to it which says "irreverent approach to werewolves & witches" Text over an image of a haunted forest which reads: Character intro - Haze Luna. Biracial (Mexican & White) Nerdy ADHD / Neurodiverse Rep Body Positive Plucky Heroine Curious Bookworm Stubborn When the war between witches and werewolves reaches a dangerous peak Haze must choose between newfound love and her duty to her people. There is a silhouette of a plus size woman wearing a witchy hat beside the text. Text over an image of a haunted forest which reads: Character intro - Roma. Stoic Werewolf Powerful Anxiety Loyal Leader of the Pack Focused Driven Recovering from Trauma There is a silhouette of a howling wolf beside the text.

Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Wolfsbane and Witch Hazel by Shannon Lippert 87k words Teen Wolf meets The L Word in this New Adult Queer Romantasy Haze is a failed witch who’s just blown her best shot at redemption. She has to figure out what’s weakening the connection to magic before her people lose their gifts forever. Which means teaming up with a werewolf, the witches’ mortal enemy, who is either making bedroom eyes or I-want-to-throttle-you eyes at Haze. As the mystery of magic draws Haze closer to her unlikely ally, she discovers a threat to the future of her people. Torn between love and duty, Haze’s choice will determine the future of witches and werewolves alike." Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Tropes & themes, Enemies to lovers Grumpy x sunshine Neurodiverse rep Love vs. duty Yearning Power and corruption Forced proximity Slow burn Female rage Emotions vs. stoicism" Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Opening - The ceasefire only meant that no one could draw blood, and Haze found herself cataloging all of the ways she knew how to maim someone without breaking the skin. Gravitational dislocation. Deoxygenation. Simultaneous extremity fractures. Not counting forbidden arts like blood magic, there were sixteen torments in total, one for every step she took between the car and the square, limestone chalk bright against the charred gravel. The scorched remains of a long-abandoned church would not have been Haze’s first choice for a meeting place, but she’d ceded the right to choose to her guests. Why they’d chosen this place, full of sulfur and sorrow, was beyond her. What was the sixteenth card of the major arcana? She should have studied more." Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Comps - A Discovery of Witches, forbidden romance & restoring lost magic. Her Majesty's Royal Coven, challenging the status quo. Wolfsong, queer contemporary, overcoming trauma, becoming a leader. The Unbroken, sapphic enemies to situationship, love vs. duty"
