Sure, brands-I-will-not-name, you may think that any publicity is good publicity and name recognition, etc., but trust me that "forced in my face when I'm trying to settle in to sleep after paying hundreds of dollars to be there" is not a good look on anyone.
What gives, @AirCanada? Are you desperate or just that horribly greedy, to use the plane's PA system and un-turn-off-able seatback screens to tack UNSKIPABLE ADS onto the tail-end of the legitimately important mandatory safety briefings?
If Air Canada can't grow a sense of shame about treating paying customers as a captive audience, maybe the brands advertising should know: you name is now associated with furious horror in my mind :) I made notes with swear words and vowed never to give you a cent :)
Now that we have an idea who's behind the current #AO3down , I think the proper response in true fandom spirit is to start donating to anti-Islamophobia and pro-Ukraine nonprofits. $30 seems like a start for me, personally ;) Love you @ao3org !
from now till the end of the season iโm pledging to donate $3 towards the Trevor Project for every goal James Reimer lets in ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
And you know what? I can't even be mad at her specifically. Humans are social animals. If everyone else is living in a nice fantasy world where covid's over or not a big deal, only those with a higher risk of reality will behave differently.
We do not live in a post-Covid world. We do NOT live in a post-Covid world. WE DO NOT LIVE IN A POST-COVID WORLD. Pretending otherwise is a big "fuck you" to the vulnerable, the dead, and those with long-term illness among us.
@TransLink Thanks G.G., I didn't think they'd be available this late! We were able to get it sorted out-- weird payment processing glitch that the system was belatedly catching, should be sorted out now. Appreciate the work y'all do on the twitter!
@TransLink can you help me understand why my monthly pass was spontaneously removed from my Compass card? I've been using it all March, and the transaction record said my morning commute used the pass but when I tapped onto my evening buss... yoink.
@veryeva I literally went to pick up the water bottle I'd left behind the counter for the whole weekend... Only for the lid to come off in my hand and dump 24 OUNCES OF WATER all over the counter. IN A LIBRARY.
@sdpnsports SDP crew, I am currently getting sternly rebuked by my Canadian roommates for not recognizing the (proper) French pronunciation of "Habs", which I blame on hearing y'all pronounce the H-- which, they assure me, is Very Very Wrong
