VISA CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TALKING. YAPPERS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

I'm old enough to remember a year or two ago when both "we're not killing journalists that's illegal!" and "We're not bombing *hospitals* for god's sake" were major talking points. Violations of these things now no longer seem to even register.

I'm so incredibly angry at the people who are going out of their way to make Palestinians' lives worse.

If you don't want to help people in need, just scroll past, ffs.

Stop going out of your way to be utterly shitty to folks who are asking for fucking help, who are being genocided and starved.

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.

The first printing of CWG with ShortBox already gave me opportunities I could never dream of, the advance I received for this reprint from Silver Sprocket is already a bonus I never expected. I just want this story to reach as many readers as possible.

i know that there are a lot of complicated feelings toward Silver Sprocket right now, but please don't let that affect your choice to purchase the new edition. It's beautiful--oversized, hard cover, and I really just want to give people the chance to have it in their hands.

FUCKING BANANAS discovery-- used it to leave a message with CEO Mike Miebach. the real value of these zaps is figuring out exactly what new techniques we can use to get our message across!!

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.
