not giving your money to a business that’s currently striking is literally an essential part of a strike.

Amazon brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. Even a one-day boycott could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially if the boycott coincided with one of the most profitable days Amazon expected to have all year, as this one does.

Do not visit Amazon.com on 10 July 2018 (or July 15-16 in the US)!

Reminder: Do not buy from Amazon or even open the website on 10 July 2018, in solidarity with the transnational strike.

Amazon workers in Spain have called for a transnational strike because Amazon has been avoiding accountability for its labour rights violations by merely shifting the work (and the human rights abuses Amazon inflicts on their workers) to non-striking countries, each time a strike occurs. If there is widespread striking transnationally, Amazon will have no choice but to recognize the strikers’ demands in order to keep their facilities functioning.

Our job as allies is to support the strike by avoiding using the Amazon website or purchasing anything from Amazon for as long as the strike continues. A mass boycott of the site, coinciding with the strike, will strengthen the workers’ bargaining position and could be crucial to Amazon workers gaining back basic rights in a variety of countries.

Please remember this includes subsidiaries like Twitch and Audible.

This is tomorrow!

Please do not shop on Amazon tomorrow.

Please do not stream Amazon music or video tomorrow

Please do not order from sites using Amazon Payments tomorrow.

For one day, please, avoid it.

As a worker-for-rent who’s worked during strikes or demonstrations – PLEASE, if there’s a strike DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THAT COMPANY ON THAT DAY IF THERE’S ANY WAY TO AVOID IT. Not only do folks like me get an easy day, it’s also a powerful act of class solidarity.

Also, if you’re a social media type of person, please tweet and comment at the company that you’re choosing not to use their services, in solidarity of the strike. Make sure they know.

Hi Roswell! I have a question about bones. Specifically, an opossum skull. I have one. And I would like to keep it. And I’m under the impression you might know how to clean bones? (It’s already pretty sunbleached and stuff, I’m just not sure where to go from there.) Do you have any recommendations/suggestions? (Also, sorry this is so out of the blue.)

a-fragile-sort-of-anarchy:

If you can, DM me some pictures so I can get a better idea of what needs done!

If it’s sunbleached and doesn’t look to have any meat on it, it’s clean! Bones don’t really hold germs any more than rocks do, and the sun is an excellent disinfectant. I have multiple skulls and bones that got no cleaning other than a quick rinse to remove any bugs.

Pro-tip to young trans guys:

If a stranger misgenders you, please please please do not ever utter the phrase, “I’m a man.” It sounds very unnatural and immediately sounds overly defensive.

My advice? Just look at the person like they’re an idiot and, in the deepest voice possible, say, “Uh. Alright, then.”

Just act as though they made a huge and obvious mistake, and don’t get flustered. If you’re comfortable with it, handle the situation with humor and say something like, “Man, I know I’ve got a babyface, but I didn’t think it was that bad.”

People are saying that you should be unapologetic but the keyword here is “stranger”. You could be in danger if the person is transphobic, and you have no way of knowing their stance if you don’t know the person. So writing it off casually ensures the most low risk way of making your gender known.

Posting this again because of the new information added on.

you can basically do anything if you act confident enough so this is legit advice

those little things on ur nose aren’t blackheads, don’t try and get rid of them they’re sebaceous filaments and they’re permanent and literally everyone has them

every girl has that little pouch of fat on her lower tummy, despite what magazines try n show u, you have important organs there that need to be protected don’t try and get rid of ur pouch

ur body is smarter than u think and it knows what to do when u eat more than normal. one bad day, or even week, of eating poorly isn’t gonna ruin anything at all I pinky promise

if u think u look good up until u try taking a selfie, it’s not ur fault – our faces are asymmetrical and when u see ur face flipped it will look unnatural to u, since u don’t see it that way when u look in the mirror. to everyone else it looks perfectly fine

no one’s stomach looks the same at 8pm as it does at 8am. no one has a chiseled six pack after a day of eating, not even the super fit people u see on tumblr, because ur stomach naturally expands after eating and expecting to have a flat tummy before bed is very unrealistic

no one notices if the bags under ur eyes are bad today. no one pays attention to the bump in ur nose or the zit on ur chin or the piece of hair that u missed when u were straightening. literally no one notices these things except you so stop worrying about it ur gonna be fine

sometimes u just gotta get over urself

I feel this on a spiritual level

also, a physical level [x]

Evolving into bipedal creatures was a rush job to let us see over the tall grass that had suddenly grown to replace our ancestors’ forests, and evidently nobody’s seen fit to patch up that rush job since then. Our gait is about the most efficient in the animal kingdom, and there’s nothing that has hips quite like ours, but our backs suck.

Ruby: having serious sex with someone or laughing with their partner. 

To Gravescratch, goofiness generally implies a different tone, like when he’s playing with Blackspark in his alt. He largely prefers to be serious. Quiet amusement might happen during interface, but he doesn’t laugh easily and probably wouldn’t respond too well to a partner laughing at him, largely out of confusion and the beginnings of offense. Laughter is for playtime, interface is a different sort of play.
