Many smaller companies use Shopify for e-commerce, and I personally believe they shouldn’t be hurt by overly-broad righteousness.
But if they have multiple payment options? No need to give Shopify a cut.

FYI as you head into the holiday season:
Shopify is a Canadian company, but its CEO Tobi Lütke is Maple MAGA in both words & monetary support (under the guise of “free speech” & “open commerce”).

Really beginning to hate Shopify, they are doing a lot to make shopping shittier lately

2) i am absolutely going to write the note i was already thinking of pinning to their door

It is not a stretch at this point to say that, if you are using a Ring doorbell, you are an ICE collaborator.
Amazon readily provides data to LEOs and ICE.
Don't want to be an ICE collaborator? Then don't use Ring.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

good thread about a bad thing
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.
