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.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Unsolicited critique in the form of “help” still makes writers feel bad. If you think something is badly written then we’d prefer you say NOTHING than picking apart something we were once proud of.

Sincerely,

Every Fanfic Writer Ever

A shout out to all the rarepairs writers and artists:

Your pairing might not ever grow bigger than just you but don’t ever let that stop you from writing or drawing it.

Make those lonely unwanted babies fall in love and you never know, you might start to make others love them too.

Please let your the creators in your fandom know you appreciate them. Be it an artist, writer, gif maker, edit maker, crafter. Everyone wants to know they’re not doing something for nothing. A tiny like or reblog, a ao3 comment or a plethora of flailing comments in tags, just show them you want them to keep bringing their talents to your fandom. It can make someone’s day just that much brighter.

It’s actually a rather unsettling feeling when your characters take over a scene without your consent because on one level I know I’m writing it but on another I literally have no idea why or where it came from or what’s going to happen next.
