In Less Than 24 Hours, $4+ Patrons Will Know How It All Wraps Up. If You Want To Join Them... Well, You

“chooses” - a little comic from august. my pen pressure broke, but,

Hot take: Wu Xi and Jing Beiyuan are such an odd couple because they don’t really understand eachother (like WenZhou do).

Hotter take: But like? They do? Wu Xi sees through Jing Beiyuan’s affectations to his deepest motivations and understands how much he feels bound by duty and circumstance, and even accepts the ‘worst’ parts of him.  While Jing Beiyuan knows exactly who Wu Xi is and later what Wu Xi wants (him) but just doesn’t necessarily approve because of said duty and circumstance.  Superficially, yeah there are misunderstandings (planned and unplanned), but they are actually very connected past even all the karmic trappings of “life.”

Hottest take: The grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one, but the grumpy one and the sunshine one aren’t the ones you think they are.

This is the money which was raised in a day for Ao3. This is the spare income contributed by a collective of people to fanfic site, so that they can be a board member. $130k USD and I am sure a good chunk of it came from tumblr users too, cause of the way we lose our minds on here when ao3 is down.

Ahem! Now that I've got your attention, did you know that our boy Wu Xi is currently in the @/crown-and-scarf-tournament, competition for the title of the most beloved leader? And did you know he is currently losing by a very small margin (with 49.4% of votes for him)? he won another round since then, but is now having a real tough time? Well, now that you do, you can go and vote for him here. Love and snakes on planet Earth 🐍💚

Donate to Supporting Samah's family to survive the war, organized by Cody cavanaugh

My deepest heartfelt greetings to all of you visiting here, My name is… Cody cavanaugh needs your support for Supporting Samah's family

This family's fund only requires $5,000 USD to get them to $20,000 which is what they'll need to evacuate Gaza. $5,000 is definitely an achieve-able amount. Please donate if you can, and if you can't, share!

And I wasn’t going to die this angry.

So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).

There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:

They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.

Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.

There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).

There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.

They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/07/14/frito-lay-strike-forced-overtime/

So, why am I signal boosting this?

Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.

And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.

So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.

Frito-Lay owns:

Lay's

Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).

Fritos

Tostitos

Cheetos

Ruffles

Sun Chips

Baken-ets

Chester's

Cracker Jack

Islen plantain chips

Funyuns

Grandma's (the cookies)

Matador Meat Snacks

Maui style potato chips

Miss Vickie's

Munchies

Munchos

Rolled Gold

Sabritones

Santitas

Simply

Smartfood

Stacys

The Walking Taco

NatuChips

PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case). Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:

Kettle Brand Chips

Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).

Pringles

On the Border for salsa.

Wise Cheez Doodles

Bugles

Utz

Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.

Cheez-its

Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.

Feeling incredibly sick and angry about everything. I’ll go about my day and try to be normal and then it just ambushes me and honestly the only people keeping me sane rn are the Arabs who’ve voiced similar experiences and are staying the course and being vocal despite all the attempts to basically blame everything that’s wrong with this country on us

Today we took our young son to the hospital because he suffers from two holes in his heart, which affects his breathing and causes him pain. I hope every conscientious person will help us save our little son's life and donate any amount possible

PLEASE DONATE!!! Even just $5 dollars counts, whatever you can afford to donate makes a difference!!!
