If people say that they rely on advertising money, feel free to remind them that you don’t owe them a working business model

hello fediverse
this is an emergency

i have been battling with this issue for three days now and i feel like i have no other options

so i logged into my paypal 3 days ago and i saw that my debit card that i have been using for a long time to transfer money from my paypal...is no longer "eligible" and disappeared from my available transfer options. it's marked as non-eligible.

i have added other cards i own and they are not eligible either. i talked to tech support and they gave me nothing. i talked to my bank and they said that the problem is most likely on paypal's end since their cards were always eligible for transfers from paypal. i want to give up.

does anybody have a single idea how to help me? i have money stuck on my paypal, and if i won't be able to retrieve it, well. i am fucked i guess.

or, at the very least, please tell me other methods for me to gather money in my mutual aid posts because i have been posting my paypal and kofi links and this is not going to work anymore i guess.

(obligatory P.S. - stripe is not working in my country)

please boost

UPD: thank you everybody!!! i contacted the staff on paypal and they fixed it!!! thank you all so so so so much for cooperating and boosting this, I really appreciate it. I'm glad I can rely on you all

I fucking love that queer neurodiverse people raise issues compassionately, hear criticism without getting defensive, and lay out actionable steps to address the issue going forward

not that everyone's perfect at communication all the time or whatever

but the intention is so part of queer culture that even people for whom conflict resolution doesn't come naturally are expected to LEARN

when contrasted with the heteronormative expectations of pushing down feelings, passive aggression, defensiveness, deflection, and blame - this is the most indescribably beautiful and valuable thing

I will never stop being grateful for this community and the different and genuinely *better* norms we've established within it

To measure puns properly, use a sighsmograph.

there should be an anonymous tip line for interesting facts

Finalement il faudrait une version "I.A." de ces mèmes.

A friend of mine in SE Alabama spotted this while delivering an Instacart order. She was pleasantly surprised to see it and wanted to share. It’s awesome to behold.

Edit: door dash not IC (my mistake, I believe she has done both).

R is delighted that this pic has been shown so much love, but wants to acknowledge the bravery of the person who put it outside their home.

As predicted the IDE Alignment chart.

A new RFC, about "Maintaining Robust Protocols". The original draft was titled "Postel was wrong", because Martin Thomson wanted to outline that "being tolerant with what you receive" leads to protocols drifting away from the standards, to the benefit of the largest "deviant". But this was too provocative. The final text is much milder.

If your response to mutual aid requests is "get a job", take those progressive buzzwords out of your fucking bio, you dirty bastard, because you clearly don't stand by any of them.

For all the people that want to block Meta on sight: I love you and so does this angry capybara keep up the good work 🩷🖤

Extremely over having it called "gatekeeping" when we're here trying to defend our space from being annihilated by malevolent advertising companies AGAIN
