I also got this flamboyant 90s country grandma button-up because I am choosing simultaneously to age gracefully and die by nostalgia poisoning.
And yes it does look great with the miracle jeans, thanks for asking.

Just got my canned Stripe response: "We're at Visa/Mastercard's whim."
Keep in mind that Stripe's TOS says books that *mention* nudity count as "adult content" and therefore cannot be sold or bought via Stripe, so I think I have some additional questions and complaints for them regardless.

Added this to the email. More to test whether their inbox is just a graveyard for complaints than because I expected a clear answer either way, I guess.

But she did let me do the whole thing. A very calm and cordial interaction overall. Following up with email now.
Here's my script. Some of it is specific to my work situation, but if anything rings true for you, please feel free to steal any part of it:

Finished building a raised bed for marionberries (planted!) and raspberries (coming soon). Plus some other sights from my big garden adventure today.

It took me nearly 3 hours to fill this bowl only barely over halfway, so maybe my garden's beautiful verdant bounty is not really worth the effort.

I understand, you know, Mike Johnson exists, but it's cartoon absurdity that no one is at least SAYING, "Hey, we need to get rid of this guy, like, actually."
!["In light of Trump's refusal to comply with the Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of legal US resident Abrego Garcia from CECOT, I am calling upon [congressperson] to speak up in favor of and begin the steps in instigating Trump's impeachment and removal from office. The US is unambiguously in a constitutional crisis. CECOT meets the definition, as established by the US Holocaust Museum, of a concentration camp. Every soul that the administration has sent to CECOT has had multiple constitutional and human rights violated in the process, and Trump has made it clear that he intends to use this reign of terror against any person on US soil, regardless of citizenship status, that he wishes to. This cannot be allowed to continue any further, though it is beyond abhorrent that it has gotten this far to begin with.
It is time for Democrats to use what power they have to begin giving voice--loudly--to what is right and what needs to be done. Trump's administration is fascist and totalitarian by any reasonable definitions of the terms. He is a direct danger to the lives of Americans and the very democracy of our country. You have an obligation to the American people and the Constitution to do everything in your power to remove him from office. Business as usual will not save you from him, and people like Abrego Garcia and millions of other Americans and innocent people upon our soil will continue to suffer and even die while Democrats try to wait it out until midterms. You need to do something now.
You need to at least try."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wwiqjevrr6hmgfyx5dp4g5ww/bafkreibla5q5ohay5hdxi27nmrzzwihs3lchaccnnslquszrz33luxphdm@jpeg)

I've been ringing in the new year by playing a very old game, Majesty: the Fantasy Kingdom Sim. Anybody else remember that one?

The time has come to say goodbye to Plumkin. The >$1K it would cost to get it back in good working order is far more than it is worth.
Farewell, sweet princess. You were worse than the original Eggplant ever was, and it's just a horrible car concept to begin with, but at least you were cheap 🫡🪦

Let's School. A school management sim. Very cute, very engaging gameplay loop, but most importantly, your school can adopt cats and for literally no reason at all some of those cats are the size of rhinos.

This War of Mine. Probably the bleakest game I've ever played, incredibly difficult, just soul-crushing if your household ends up in a downward spiral. Very engaging survival mechanics, though, and beautiful art style, including the character photographs that sometimes just blink at you.
