Hey, did you ask if they would reverse the punitive charges? Every time I've asked to have an overdraft fee refunded they've done it. My bank is a credit union, so that might have something to do with it (less evil?), but I figure it costs nothing to ask?

I can try. I've never bounced a check with them, so maybe.

Update: bank reversed the fee. I used the chat function in the bank's app and I emerged unenshittified. $30 back in my pocket. I'm going to get measles now for circumventing the shitshow, aren't I? 🤣

Your grandmother used to say: damn and not fuck ; damned if I do and damed if I don’t. Hoping your sister is feeling better. ♥️

I hate, HATE, the overdraft and late fees and that they're legal. they have fucked me over more times than I can count, and It makes my brain burn to think about them happening to you while you're dealing with a kid with a chronic illness.

It's such a power-centric punitory world we've built. And yet, I survived another month. Rent is paid and there's food in the fridge now.

Argentina is a near-future mirror for us all.

Thank you for your support, Antonia.
