The investigative newsroom I work for, @ProPublica, is raising money right now. We report on abuses of power in the public interest - stories like corruption on the Supreme Court. It was the first outlet to win a Pulitzer for web-first journalism. And if you donate through this link, you'll let our team know that Mastodon is an audience to pay attention to. https://give.propublica.org/give/346528/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=mstdn #journalism #fediverse #mastodon

@ben donating is a great way to scrape the last few dollars off of things like unrefillable visa gift cards. Been looking for a way to clear it and not leave money on the table for the vampires that sell them!

This is a great idea.

@darthstar @ben thanks! I’m too salty to give up on it and let them keep the dregs. Donating allows you to set the price to whatever amount is left - wins all the way around!

I can't tell you how many partial cards I tossed in the trash...I no longer use them but I will tell people I know who do that this is a great way to drain them off and it 'costs' them nothing.
