I JUST NOW REALIZED that ko-fi donations are marked as business transactions in my paypal account, and that each of them comes with the person’s address and a little “ready to add shipping info” tag on them
so i’m going through every time someone has kindly given me a couple dollars in the past. year? and marking them all as “order processed” so I don’t get in HUGE trouble for not putting shipping information on these “orders”
WHY… ARE THEY PROCESSED THAT WAY… why aren’t they processed as DONATIONS?
A few folks have asked me to tell them how they can tell if this has happened, and how to fix it, so here’s a small guide!
When you get money through ko-fi, and it shows up like this, then it’s come through as a payment, with the person’s shipping address attached.
To fix this, you click “Add tracking info” for every payment that has that. When you do, you’ll select “Order Processed / Service Rendered” which is the option that tells PayPal you aren’t shipping anything.
When you do, the other boxes on that page will be greyed out, and you can save. The “print shipping label / add tracking info” tag will be gone on the transaction and you’ll be good to go!
“We owe a debt to third world women theologians who have noticed the similarities between Mary’s life and the lives of so many poor women even today. Giving birth in a homeless situation; fleeing as a refugee with your baby to a strange land to escape being killed by military action; losing a child to unjust execution by the state; our newspapers yield up these icons of suffering even today. Mary is sister to the marginalized women who live unchronicled lives in oppressive situations. It does her no honor to rip her out of her conflictual, dangerous historical circumstances and transmute her into an icon of a peaceful, middle-class life robed in royal blue.”
— Sister Elizabeth Johnson, “Mary of Nazareth: Friend of God and Prophet”
– Unable to eat properly, your health and physical well-being suffers significantly and this shortens your life over time. If you’re like me and have weak jaws, you’ll likely not be able to chew well; you’re going to be swallowing lumps of things, which is uncomfortable, gross, and unhealthy.
-Eating can be very painful, to the point you’re going to be eating soup, mashed potatoes, or cream of wheat for at least a few meals.
-Self-confidence tanks, and so can your mental health; this has really f*cked me up, leaving me intensely depressed to the point where I’ve pretty much cried for entire days, not to mention trying to adjust to this nightmare that has become my life.
– Dentures generally need to be pasted into your mouth (the paste doesn’t usually last that well, and isn’t a fix-all. It also tastes pretty foul.) and tend to cause anything from mild discomfort to bad pain.
– You don’t get to eat anything sticky, chewy, etc.; no more toffee, gum, unprocessed meat, salad (yes, even things like lettuce and spinach are VERY difficult to eat. And, forget fresh fruit and veggies. Too firm,
– No biting with your front teeth.
– There is no real ‘resting place’ for your lower jaw – it’s uncomfortable and even painful to have your gums pressed together, and letting your lower jaw relax and ‘hang’ is almost as bad.
– Have you heard someone speak without teeth? You’re liable to repeat things A LOT and feel self-conscious and stupid.
-People will shun you, or give you repulsed looks.
-Try looking for work when you look like I do, all gums and no teeth. No way you’re getting an interview or a call back.
Not to mention that your JAWS SHRINK and make it even more difficult to eat/speak and are prone to FRACTURING.
That’s why I am on my knees, begging and praying for the donations I so desperately need to replace my teeth with implants.
Implants act like REAL TEETH and I could eat/speak as before and my jaws would stop shrinking. But, I live in poverty and am disabled. I can’t afford it alone. I’m scared this is going to be the end of me.
Hey there! I just bought this lovely pink borealis set, and I noticed the d8 is waaaaaaay more glittery and holographic. Do you know what’s up with it? It’s so pretty and I would love to find more!
Looks like you got a mixed set! The d8 is the old style glitter, while the d10 is the new style. Lots of sellers currently have back stock of the old style, so I bet you can track down a set if you ask for pics before buying.
Not at all! The real reason is much weirder. You see, the old style of glitter abruptly became unavailable to use after it became a component of Euro bills, and so became illegal for anyone else to use or even own in Germany (where Chessex manufactures their dice). That’s why so many varieties of borealis have been discontinued.
