FYI #nonprofit accts. #Stripe will CLOSE your acct if bad actors commit #fraud. Yesterday, one IP address connected via Ko-fi to test(?) 247 fake transactions. ✅ 16 yrs zero complaints. ✅ Our acct not breached. ❎ Stripe closed our #charity acct & refused to help. #tech #security #help #Kofi
An email from Stripe automatically sent to our nonprofit:

"Hello,	
 
 
 
 
We recently identified payments on your Stripe account for jenniferann.org that don't appear to have been authorized by the customer, meaning that the owner of the card or bank account didn't consent to these payments.	
 
 
 
 
As a precautionary measure, we will no longer be able to accept payments for jenniferann.org. We will begin issuing refunds on card payments on May 9, 2026, although they may take longer to appear on the cardholders’ statements. Please refer to your Dashboard for a list of the charges that will be refunded. If there are insufficient funds on your account to cover any refunds, those refunds won't be processed. Any outstanding funds will not be available to you in accordance with the Service Terms for Stripe Payments."Screenshot from Stripe's system showing a single payment event for USD 0.56.

A softly illustrated image of a student's bedroom in soft pastel lighting. A bed occupies most of the frame and a colorful painting of flowers hangs on the wall behind. A large teddy bear can be partially seen in the foreground.

Sitting on the bed is a young woman with short dark hair. 

In her hands she is supporting a large grey cat. The cat has a white patch on its mouth, large yellow eyes, and an unsure expression on its face. It is half-standing in the young woman's lap. 

Her head is slightly tilted and her large brown eyes look intently at the cat with a curious expression. The grey cat looks directly back into the young woman's eyes. 

Their faces are close to one another.

🎃 For #Halloween and #DVAM we offer a short quiz: 🧛🏽 "What kind of monster is your boyfriend?" 🌐 jagga.me/monster/inde...
'What kind of Monster is your boyfriend?'

A caricature of the vampire from the Twlight series stands next to this text.

"Your boyfriend is:
0% Abusive
80% Vampire [HIGHLIGHTED]
10% Werewolf
20% Zombie

"It is possible that your boyfriend is a VAMPIRE. Be sure to wear a garlic necklace at all times."

Not sure where to share and hope this is okay here. Two of our nonprofit org's free #educational games about #consent are de-indexed. We opened support tickets. They are *not* adult games. We marked both games as "sensitive content" and "content warning" due to the subject matter.
Screenshots of two games: 'Stuck in a Dark Place', created by Another Kind, https://jag.itch.io/stuck-in-a-dark-place and 'A Thousand Cuts early edition', created by Elizabeth Ballou, https://jag.itch.io/a-thousand-cuts-early-edition. CW: These games include descriptions of sexual violence.
