Listening to the NPR pledge drive pleas over the past week, I kept hearing the local announcers say something that made me think back to Amy Herring’s portrait of Scorpio Seattle.
To make your pledge give us a call at (206)543.9595. Or, if you really don’t want to talk to anyone over the phone right now, you can go online and pledge at KUOW.org.
All week long, there were variations of this. It was woven almost seamlessly in, like they don’t give it a second thought. On one pre-6am appeal:
If it’s so early that you can’t bear to talk to anyone yet, go online to…
and then later on it was
if you’re shy and would rather pledge at your convenience, please visit…
By the end of the week every time I heard this all I could think was “We’re a Scorpio town! Of course we’d rather pledge online than talk to an actual human being sometimes!”
Scorpio is secretive, and sometimes shy, and just has little to no patience for small talk. Scorpio cuts right to the heart of the matter; even when doing the right thing, this is often still the order of the day. What flavor does your town have? Are there little moments that really embody that for you?
Or, if you really don’t want to talk to anyone over the phone right now, you can go online and pledge at KUOW.org.
That is so perfect for Scorp rising, 12th house people like myself. I would be all over pledging online rather than calling in and having to talk to someone.
Not being to bear talking to someone first thing in the AM fits too. Give me an hour and my coffee and you may find a human being. Otherwise, ya takes your chances!
