THIS IS THE RIGHT KIND OF CANCEL CULTURE.
So Disney is offering massive discounts for 6 months if you try to cancel your subscription. For those who weren’t cancelling bc their young kids, it’s worth at least trying to cancel and take the discount they offer to keep you. Then cancel before the promotion period ends.
They are also spending a fortune on ads to get people back. The boycott is working. Soooo many people are fighting back.

Hello! We are a small independent bookshop in Stow, in the Scottish Borders. We are no longer using Twitter, for obvious reasons, but could use some new followers on Mastodon and other social media channels - where our presence is smaller than on Twitter. Please help / share this is you can! Thank you.

I told my twins that if I die they should Weekend at Bernie's me on a ferry to the Isle of Wight and push me off, to save on a funeral. They shared this in a primary school class on animal lifecycles. Cue concerned WhatsApp voice note from their teacher.
