This pride month more than ever the LGBTQ community needs to remember that it was Marsha P. Johnson, a black trans woman, that made where we are today possible

We need to stand with BLM and protestors just how they have stood with us

The first pride was a riot and we need to stand with them while their protests and riots go on

Nothing will change if we don’t stand with them and we need to remember the black members of our community, especially the black trans women, who are constantly being murdered by cops and their supporters

Never forget George Floyd

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)!

While we’re talking about effective boycotting, boycotting Amazon means more than boycotting Amazon, because Amazon has subsidiaries that also help it make money. If you’re going to boycott Amazon, you also need to boycott the following subsidiaries:

  • AWS Elemental
  • AbeBooks
  • Alexa Internet
  • Audible
  • Blink Home
  • Brilliance Audio
  • ComiXology
  • CreateSpace
  • Diapers.com
  • Double Helix Games
  • Evi
  • Fabric.com
  • GoodReads
  • IMDb
  • Junglee
  • Mobipocket
  • Ring
  • Shelfari
  • Shopbop
  • Souq.com
  • TenMarks Education, Inc.
  • Twitch
  • Whole Foods Market
  • Woot
  • Zappos

A boycott is not effective unless you attack it on all fronts. This is why boycotting things like McDonalds or Coca Cola are so ineffective– they have so many subsidiaries and supporting businesses that they can afford a frontal hit and still make money from its “family” companies. 

If you truly want to help this boycott, make sure to boycott Amazon and its subsidiaries.

‘The retailer, which last year made more than £6bn of revenues in Britain, has a disciplinary system under which points are accrued for illness. Workers are issued a penalty point for each episode of sickness.

Workers are told that more than one point will result in a “series of counselling and disciplinary meetings” and between four and six points can result in dismissal.

In one case, a woman who spent three days in hospital with a kidney infection was docked two points, reduced to one on appeal, despite providing a hospital note.

The system has been revealed in an investigation by The Sunday Times at Amazon’s sorting depot in Dunfermline, Scotland.

The undercover reporter was paid £7.35 per hour by an agency that supplies workers to Amazon, but was left with less than the minimum wage after paying £10 for the agency’s bus which took her to the site 40 miles from her home in Glasgow.

It emerged this weekend that some low-paid workers are camping out in woodland near the sorting depot to avoid paying the bus costs and ensure they are left with more than the minimum wage…

The reporter obtained a job with PMP Recruitment, one of the two main agencies that hires and supervises workers at the Dunfermline depot. The investigation found:

  • Workers being threatened with dismissal if they accrued too many points for illness, late attendance or absence, or for making too many errors or failing to hit productivity targets.
  • A claim from a worker in Amazon’s on-site first-aid clinic that workers were under pressure to hit targets and were suffering injuries in the rush to collect products
  • Workers were expected to cover more than 10 miles a day in the warehouse collecting items, but water dispensers to ensure they avoided dehydration were regularly empty
  • The reporter was told she had to sign an opt-out of the working time directive, which limits weekly hours to 48, in order to get a job.

The reporter was employed as a “temporary warehouse operative” at Amazon’s vast plant in Fife. She worked in the “picking” department, which involved retrieving items from across several floors of the sprawling warehouse, according to orders displayed on a handheld scanner she was given. She worked at least 10 hours a day, with an unpaid 30-minute lunch break and two 15-minute paid breaks….

Under the system set out in the Amazon temporary associate handbook, half a point is issued to recruits who are late to work or late back from a break; one point for “one period of sickness”; and three points for “no call, no show”. The undercover reporter was told that anyone who was more than 30 seconds late in arriving at work or returning after a break would be subject to the half-point penalty.

Workers were also told that if they made more than one error a week in collecting items or failed to hit productivity targets they could be subject to a disciplinary process, which could result in dismissal.’

how the fuck are the unions allowing this???? disgusting

Support the Amazon general strike today, July 10th - do not buy from Amazon! Even if your intention is to make some kind of statement with your purchase - don’t, this is (as other bloggers before me have said) the equivalent of crossing a picket line and still handing them profit!

80. What is my favourite word?
Well, unseriously, it’s hippo. Seriously... I’m not certain. Hmm.... probably serenity or mellow. I get very emotional at times, but recently, it’s been p chill and I’ve felt good as I discover myself. 119. Learned another language?I kind of have. I’m somewhat good at Spanish (with 6 years of Spanish, I’d hope so) and I know how to finger spell most letters of ASL, so I’ve learned a language if you put the two fractions of two languages I’ve learned. Thanks for asking!!!

gajevia headcanons 1/?

  • falling in love was so messy for all of them
  • it took levy a lot to figure out she was falling. and then it eventually happened
  • levy, being… well, levy, started acting a bit weird around both of them, being shyer and more skittish than usual
  • neither of them figured out why tho
  • gajeel thought she was angry at him and juvia was worried she might have upset her
  • they asked her - separately - if there was something wrong. she managed to sell it to gajeel, but not to juvia, who has better social skills and understood the problem
  • juvia was very confused by what was happening
  • she always knew there was some sort of more than friendship between her and gajeel but she didn’t figure that deep
  • and then there’s levy who’s so sweet and cute and wow she really wanted to kiss her
  • so she turned to the only people she might ask for help, gray and cana
  • gray had no idea how to help but cana offered some sort of advice (after laughing her ass off)
  • they both convinced her there was nothing wrong in wanting to be with both of them, though
  • she managed to clean the mess with levy when she began acting weird
  • and then they began dating, about a month after the war
  • gajeel’s head was a huge fucking mess
  • he felt disgusted with himself for having feelings for them
  • they had both seen him in his worse (in phantom lord) and he was scared neither of them would want him
  • in the same time he was painfully jealous over them both and couldn’t stand the thought of seeing them with someone else without lashing out
  • but somehow he didn’t feel jealous over the two of them together
  • he was very happy about them but also felt sad because he wasn’t a part of their happiness
  • he began to mope more and tried to visit the guild less
  • levy and juvia, who were still very much in love with him and very worried for him, turned to mira for help
  • mira, who has been gajeel’s moral support (along lily, natsu and wendy) told them what the problem was
  • they went to his home to see him and talk with him
  • he had locked himself in his bedroom but lily let them inside with the spare key
  • they kissed each of his cheeks, then took turns explaining their feelings and their worries about him
  • eventually they were all crying and gajeel was very happy because those two sunshines actually love him and he is so lucky
  • they ended staying the night and them all slept and cuddled in his hugeass bed
  • levy and juvia then surprised him with breakfast in the bed and gajeel almost cried again
  • he loves them so much and he’s so soft for them
