If you have the stamps and aren't good with phone calls, you can also send these companies physical mail. Mastercard and Stripe have addresses where customers can mail in complaints. I've already done some.
Mastercard 2000 Purchase St Purchase NY 10577 United States Treat it with a grain of salt since it's AI results from Google, but this was the only place I was able to find Stripe's mailing address since they seem to have since scrubbed it from the site. "The primary mailing address for Stripe, and specifically for refund requests or official correspondence with Stripe Payments Company, is 354 Oyster Point Boulevard, South San Francisco, California, 94080. While Stripe also has a significant presence and headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, the South San Francisco address is specifically cited for certain official communications and company-related matters"

Photo shows a Yorkie being pushed around in a stroller at the Dallas pride parade while its owner shelters it with a rainbow colored umbrella. Sign on the stroller reads "equal rights or I bites!"

One of my favorite indie brands, GRRRL Spells, originally had a deal with Target to stock some of their merch in stores 1-2 years back but was left up a creek when Target chickened out after the slightest amount of pressure from fascists. If you want spooky/witchy themed gay shit they've got you

Looks like the conference committee for SB 12 put the provision back in prohibiting GSAs. The TX GOP really wants to challenge the Equal Access Act and I fear with this SCOTUS they'll get what they want.

Stat block for the slaughtermelon along with flavor text: When produce is grown in fields infused with negative energies, the consequences can be strange indeed. Ears of corn grow full of teeth, fruits rot as soon as they are picked, and vegetables sprout up with an unquenchable thirst for the blood of innocents. Slaughtermelons are melons (or, occasionally, gourds) that hunger for carnage. A Field of Superstition. The presence of slaughtermelons in rural communities has brought forth a multitude of beliefs about their origins. Some farmers speculate that leaving a pumpkin or melon outside under the darkness of new moon creates one of these abominations. Others believe that once picked, a melon or pumpkin must be consumed by the winter solstice. Out of Your Gourd. Because the slaughtermelon lacks any sort of teeth or other means of sucking blood, its thirst is doomed to be forever unsatisfied. It attempts to feed itself by slamming its body against its would-be victim. This is a star The filth sucker is a miserable creature, haunting cesspits, swamps, outhouses, and unloved bathrooms across the multiverse. It feeds on the accumulated mold, excrement, and other filth that naturally occurs in its home. Borne of Filth. The filth sucker lays its eggs in water. These pea-sized eggs can lay dormant for years, until conditions are appropriately dank for them to hatch. After the egg hatches, the filth sucker grows to full size in a matter of weeks. Taint Tackling. Filth suckers are infamously territorial, for mankind was never meant to know peace. Filth suckers that reside in bathrooms and outhouses are especially ornery, even going so far as to slam themselves against the exposed undersides of unsuspecting victims. These habits usually drive anyone who would clean the bathroom far away, leading the filth sucker to grow larger and nastier. The durian is a fruit known the world over for its delicate flavor and noxious stench. Sometimes, one of these fruits becomes corrupted by the magic of demonic forces, an evil druid, or the work of a hag. The duribomber is a creation of gleeful destruction, raining foul, malodorous death on everyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in its presence. Stink Bomb. When a duribomber explodes, the stench it releases is powerful enough to physically injure anyone nearby. Its fetid aroma is purely toxic, but this is only the beginning. Duribombers are also capable of choosing to self-destruct at any time or place they wish. Its creator can choose to deploy the duribomber at any time, purely out of spite. In the worst of circumstances, a cluster of duribombers can create a chain reaction of explosions. The politics of the drow are a deadly business, and prominent drow houses are just as crooked and cutthroat as the aristocrats of the surface. Some houses employ more experimental means of keeping their subjects in line and their rivals on their toes. Such means are flesh-warped monstrosities that defy the laws of nature and logic – and often involve a little help from demonic forces. Warping Flesh. Flesh warpers are often recruited by drow houses to subject their enemies to fates far worse than death. A drow flesh warper is adept in primal magic, especially the magical forces intertwined with disease and decay. Each flesh warper carries a small jar of spiders, only removing it from their person to sleep and bathe. The spiders feast on each other, with the strongest becoming infused with the flesh warper's magic. When a flesh warper wants to release their blight, they release a single spider to crawl into their target through one of their bodily orifices.
