They can give any reason they want, but I choose to believe that if you hit 'em where it hurts (read: their wallets), corporations will fold. Just as surely as they will resist tax increases no matter the positive social externality. Thanks to the #canceldisney community. On to the next battle

i've spent Saturdays this summer at Folio Seattle for Saturday write-ins. A writer's dream library in the heart of Pike Place Market. Always good to see Rumble Strips in the wild too. #booksky #pikeplacemarket #seattlewriters
