Notice of hiatus

I hate to do this after bringing this blog back but you probably noticed I disappeared from on here again. Due to family stuff and other IRL stuff going on I’m going to put this blog on hiatus again. Hopefully just for a few weeks, I just don’t have much of a muse for RPing ATM but hope to get back to it as soon as I can. Thanks for your understanding in advance.

"Well...hello little Phoenix. Here i thought you were gone."

Suzaku grins slightly. “Did you really think I’d die that easily?” I don’t even think Zero would have thought that..”

“No or perhaps you ‘rose from the ashes’ like your namesake.” She shrugged from the tree branch she was sitting in. “Either way here you are alive and well. The fates must have quite the plan for you.”

“Hmm, perhaps it does..” Suzaku ponders this for a moment before turning to face Angel. “I assume you didn’t just come here to chitchat though..did you?”

“No, I came to see with my own eyes if you were alive or an imposter.” She jumped down from the tree landing gracefully before walking up to him. “It’s part of my job after all to keep track of any and all foes.”

“hmm, you’ve come a long way just for that.” Suzaku replies in a somewhat apologetic tone. “Unless of course the Black Knights have plans here as well.” He studies Angel’s expression closely. “Though I don’t expect you’d be at liberty to discuss that.”

THIS!

This is the election that counts. Start educating yourself now on who will be campaigning to be your congresspeople/governor/etc.

This is the fight we need to win. VOTE VOTE VOTE

Also…reminder to pay attention to all local elections and VOTE. These elected officials are the people most likely to directly impact your life in the short term.

This has to start now. Right now.

Get your birth certificates. There may be a fee or long wait times. Make sure you get a certified copy.

Make sure you have ID. Dig into your state’s laws and the whole Real ID thing, because (and sorry I can’t research this now, but pneumonia) I believe there are certain states whose driver’s licenses don’t qualify for Real ID.

Make sure you’re registered to vote. Google it. Follow the instructions for your state.

Know where your local polling place is or find out if you can vote by mail.

Vote in ALL your upcoming elections. Yes, that means the little ones for city council or dog catcher or whatever. Vote those racist, homophobic, bigots out at every level.

They’re like weeds. You can pull up every visible bit, but if you leave one tiny segment of root, they’ll just come back.

To quote Mira Grant, rise up while you can. Because the Republicans are way the hell worse than zombies.

10 July 2018

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.

Explain this to your friends and family who might not have heard about the boycott or the strike or why it’s necessary.

Amazon workers are literally collapsing and sometimes dying in warehouses that do not all have climate control. A few years ago Amazon stationed ambulances outside their warehouses rather than just install AC to prevent mass heatstroke for their workers, but after media picked up the story they added AC to some – only some – of their warehouses.

These workers are forced into 10+ hour shifts during which they walk 10+ miles. They’re subject to a grueling pace and fired for minor mistakes. They are not allowed to sit down and are discouraged from using the bathroom, which is often so far away in the massive warehouse that there isn’t time to use it even during their breaks. They can be fired for being ill, even with proof they were in hospital.

They are being paid so little and working such long hours – and sometimes, being charged so much by Amazon-arranged transport shuttles to take them to warehouses far from any housing – that some are forced to sleep under bridges or in the woods near their workplace. Longtime warehouse workers are saying they’ve never seen the kinds of exploitation and abuse that occurs in an Amazon warehouse.

This strike and the accompanying boycott are to pressure Amazon into giving their workers basic rights that every worker should have.

This strike is timed to coincide with the European Prime Day, when working conditions will become even more intolerable and hours even longer.

US residents are encouraged to also boycott the US Prime Day July 15-16, 2018.

shouldn’t we buy shit to help show Amazon they NEED their employees?

thatdiabolicalfeminist

I’ve seen a lot of comments like this, and I’d like to take this opportunity to explain!

A really common strike tactic in the pre-internet days was form a picket line. Basically, the striking workers would hold up signs explaining their strike and surround their place of work with a line of people all chanting and marching. This not only got the public interested in the strike, but it also physically blocked people from entering the business they were striking against.

When workers strike, businesses sometimes hire “scabs”, or workers willing to step in and replace the strikers to make the strike meaningless. A picket line would mean that even if the business got a full complement of scabs, they would still take a huge hit financially during the strike.

“Never cross a picket line” is something union and other pro-labour parents used to teach their children, and it meant both “never be a scab” and also “never patronize a business currently under strike.”

Amazon will likely hire scabs during a widespread strike to pick up at least some of the slack. But this time, workers can’t use a physical picket line to block access, because Amazon is an online business. But it’s still important to make sure the company isn’t able to bring in a lot of profits during the strike – hence the calls for boycott online.

Amazon knows they need their employees. They just think they can get away with abusing them. The boycott and the strike are not to convince them to think anything, it’s to make it so unprofitable to continue that they have no choice but to concede to the strikers’ demands.
