I'm closing the store at Noon Mountain Time this Tuesday, with plans to reopen in August after I'm recovered from an incredibly needed and very exciting surgery. I'm going to do a quick roundup of stuff I have in stock that I think is neat.

thank you!!

i make most of my sales on fridays and saturdays so this is my last big weekend before surgery. thank you to everyone who's bought stuff and everyone who's shared.

The marketing demon that lives in my head just thought of "Throwback memes". As the people who grew up on the internet get firmly cemented into adulthood and middle-age, bringing back stuff like demotivationals, caturday, and advice animals to sell stuff like insurance plans and medications.

9 i guess if you don't count quaffing CBD oil to deal with the withdrawals.

also 4 and a half years without alcohol so that's something too.

posted this because today is the first day ive woken up neither miserable nor panicking. I feel tired but rested, and im looking towards the future with more hope than dread.

I think my antidepressants are starting to work.
also ashwagandha, damn that shit works.

you don't need to build an entire furry banking emporium you just need e-transfers

this is already a solved problem in most of the world, US banks are just laughably deficient

i can just log onto my bank and directly send someone money, they can either just receive it directly to their account or via email or sms

it is not impossible science fiction technology to just be able to send a person money without a credit card getting involved

and like yeah admittedly i cant use that to automatically pay a recurring subscription online yet (probably because all these payment processor fuckos are US based and always use credit cards but idk im not a banker) but like i can use them to pay my taxes and electric bills so we're not that far off

zhings like cashapp and zhe tons of ozher apps like it were so baffling to me for a while cause in zhe uk we can just bank transfer money instantly to each ozher

i would not have a paypal or kofi if i wasnt friends wizh americans lmao

i'm stuck using paypal to pay for things out of the west in general, but transferring money to other folks here in the philippines is easy as shit

of course there is some degree of baggage with international transfers - internationally moving money is always a tricky thing due to having to make sure its not being used to avoid taxes or launder crime money. that's def a contributing factor to a lot of this

Basically this, yeah.

Like, the issue when it comes to payment processing for furries (and, more broadly, less marketer-friendly queer and queer-leaning communities generally) is the whole "how do we make international payments easy enough to support things like subscription services?" thing, which isn't a problem solved by, for a Canadian example, e-Transfer, which doesn't exactly work with banks outside Canada.

Though I guess we could just get familiar with international services other than PayPal like Western Union or whatever.
