A friend once pointed out to me what a marketing coup the term "identity theft" was for the banks.

There is no such thing as identity theft. There is only companies' opening accounts in the wrong people's names. The culprits are companies who do an inadequate job of making sure their customers are who they say they are.

And yet the cost of this incompetence is borne almost entirely by someone who had no direct involvement in the actual crime.

I guess there is something I love more than Plums jokes

finding it really dishonest-looking when people load their toots with a bunch of hashtags for "exposure"

this is not twitter, you don't get internet points for views. heck there aren't even any usable statistics

this is quite possibly the best joke I've ever seen

Hi, brand new here, new to mastodon in general. I do daily tarot draws and I illustrated a tarot deck that just funded on Kickstarter. I'm halfway through creating a second tarot deck.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I've been a weird goth for too long for it to be flattering.

Here are some pics of what I'm working on now.

<<Rule of thumb: assume every stranger you encounter has an invisible disability, a private inconsolable grief, or are in the midst of an undetectable crisis.

Offer each other moments of respite and grace.

Don’t allow projective envy to fool you into thinking you are the only or the most vulnerable person you will encounter in your day.

I listen to people’s sorrows and secrets every day - and every one is broken - especially the people you imagine are not.>>

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

I will always ask you for your password.

I will pester you each night and morning for your PIN.

I will sidle into your mentions and request your Social Security number.

I will DM you and beg you for user accounts on systems long dead, IPOs baking in the desert sun, forgotten by all in the living world.

I really need you to join my LinkedIn, link my JoinedIn, and telnet my gopher. That last one is not a euphemism.

I am a Nigerian prince from The Microsoft and I desire to clean your registry.
