useful explanation on the different boycotts BDS is supporting! image IDs under the cut.

[ID: A series of photos taken from the BDS Instagram page. They read:

1. Act Now Against These Companies Profiting from the Genocide of the Palestinian People (this same title is the title for every slide)

The slide is split into four sections as below:

Consumer boycott targets:

AXA

Puma

Carrefour

SIEMENS

AHAVA

HP

Boycott Israeli goods sticker

RE/MAX

Sodastream

Divestment targets:

Elbit Systems

CAT

Barclays

CAF

Chevron

Volvo

JCB

HD Hyundai

TKH Security

HIK Vision

Pressure (NON-BOYCOTT) targets:

Google

Amazon

Airbnb

Booking.com

Expedia

Disney

Organic boycott targets:

Domino's Pizza

McDonald's

Papa John's

Burger King

Pizza Hut

WiX

2. Consumer boycott targets:

AXA

Puma

Carrefour

SIEMENS

AHAVA

HP

Boycott Israeli goods sticker

RE/MAX

Sodastream

The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands carefully selected due to the company's proven record of complicity in Israeli apartheid.

3. Divestment targets:

Elbit Systems

CAT

Barclays

CAF

Chevron

Volvo

JCB

HD Hyundai

TKH Security

HIK Vision

The BDS movement is pressuring governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from complicit companies listed in the UN, WhoProfits, and AFSC Investigate databases of businesses enabling Israel's occupation. Above we give some of the targets we are campaigning against.

4. Pressure (NON-BOYCOTT) targets:

Google

Amazon

Airbnb

Booking.com

Expedia

Disney

The BDS movement actively calls for pressure campaigns against these brands and services due to their complicity in Israeli apartheid. We have not, on strategic grounds, called for a boycott of these brands and services, instead we strategically call on supporters and institutions to mount other forms of pressure on them until they end their complicity in Israeli apartheid.

5. Organic boycott targets:

Domino's Pizza

McDonald's

Papa John's

Burger King

Pizza Hut

WiX

The BDS movement did not initiate these grassroots boycott campaigns but is in support of them due to these brands openly supporting Israel's genocide against Palestinians.

Instead of Shepard dragging Garrus around everywhere in ME1 because she wants to take him under her wing and teach him, I think it'd be a lot funnier if she drags him around everywhere because he comes pre-trained.

I mean, think about it. By the end of the first visit to the Citadel, besides Ashley and Kaidan (who are full members of the Alliance military), she has/is heading to recruit the following:

Wrex, a krogan mercenary who definitely doesn't have a file and who later admits mainly works alone and/or in very small groups, and has definitely not been part of any formal military structure or anything even remotely similar

Tali, who is a very wonderful person and very knowledgeable about the geth, but is only ~22 (her birth year is 2161 apparently), is on her people's rite of passage, and has never been formally attached to any kind of command nor has had any formal training as far as we know

Matriarch Benezia's daughter, Liara, who they know very little about at the moment other than she's an archaeologist who specializes in the Protheans and has never had any commando training, nor do they know if she even knows anything about her mother's actions

I love them, but they're not exactly on the level someone that's been part of a military for years would be.

By contrast, you have:

Garrus, who's not that much younger than Shepard herself, was part of the turian military for a few years (and had at least one ship posting from what we know from 2), and has also been part of C-Sec for awhile given he's a full fledged detective, so he's used to working in teams and being under someone's command

I feel like Shepard would have taken a look at his file and breathed a sigh of relief because there's at least one person that she won't have to worry will accidentally undermine her authority. He even comes with amazing sniping skills and tech expertise! Of course she's going to drag him around everywhere!

Has anyone apologized to Dan and/or Phil for overstepping boundaries? I mean, I know no one is gonna come out and say "sorry I was investigating your sexuality on my corkboard with pictures and threads". But has there ever been like maybe a collective phandom letter or video? I feel like they give the phandom a lot of grace. I have to admit I'm not too well versed in their story, but watching TIT I feel bad for the things they went through. Idk if an apology would even help at this point. Maybe some acknowldegment that some things were taken too far?

i think if you didn't know the history/weren't here back in the day that can seem like the narrative, but in actuality the phandom has done nothing but apologize and self flagellate over the vocal minorities invasiveness. since the beginning there were people apologizing on everyone else's' behalf

like this fandom has been built on catholicism levels of guilt

one of the biggest messages of TIT was dan and phil reiterating they knew it was that small percentage who were saying shit directly to dnp/knocked on their door/terrorized their family, but regardless all sins have been forgiven ("we need to move on and forgive the crimes"). dnp are incredibly aware of how much phannies beat themselves up over the old days, they're also aware that their relationship with us back was faaar from perfect. that's why TIT was a community cleansing

We have collectively moved forward and formally wiped the slate clean on both sides. it's now up to individuals to unlearn that unwarranted shame. also what would a grand gesture do other than rehash issues that have long since been resolved and restart the whole cycle over again?

you’d think after 800 years he’d learn his lesson about taking afternoon naps. / prev comic / follow for more sleepy xie lian

I kept thinking of little baby man Phantom and the potential of Danny being an actual baby of the Infinite Realms. However, he’s more snake teenager than itty bitty Little Baby Man edition, cause I think it’d be so funny to just — imagine this teenage snake curled up in a summoning circle, obviously having been taking a nap and looking up with his big green, sleepy eyes and Constantine just stares and freaks because, “THATS A WHOLE ASS BABY, PUT IT BACK!”

But they can’t because apparently the summoning was more of a ‘knock knock I’m a babysitter’ and Danny’s ghost parent decided that this was the perfect time to have some time for themselves if Heroes were so willing to take care of Danny for a little while.

Another take — mainly in reference to a different post about Klarion actually just being a toddler of the infinite realms with no ideas on how to human and thinks him fighting with heroes is just a play date — zooms into the human realm where the heroes are and just goes, “Hey I’m dropping my baby sibling onto you guys cause my dad got mad last time Danny got hurt by the humans I hang with. So here you go, I’ll pick him up later.”

A teenage snake Danny is dropped into a hero’s arms where he mainly grumbles and then shifts to better take a nap. Klarion drops the baby essentials at them with no further explanations other then “here’s their favorite blanket, if they get fussy taco them; here’s the baby milk make sure it’s -200 F, they have an ice core, etc.” and then just DISAPPEARS after leaving what amounts to a month old infant in human heroes care.

Completely forgot to post this, but I had an art project about taking two things you like and combining them, so I ended doing a character lineup of the outsiders! (I said my theme was animation and literature lmao)

I’ll probably do the socs next, but I ain’t exactly itching to draw Bob 😒 (if bob has no haters I’m dead)

I can’t really say I “redesigned” the logo, I just adjusted the current one but what the hell ill put it here anyway

“don’t blame peoples’ individual choices of using ai for climate change, blame the big corporations!!”

i’m gonna hold your hand when i say this. generative ai is the big corporation, and this product only continues to exist because of peoples’ individual choices to use it

Just now think about the relationship of Nero and Dante in DMC4 and DMC5. The possible other reason of why Dante pushed Nero away out of his life and go silent for years could be because of the implication that, Dante won't touch anything that of Vergil. As we have seen Dante trying to take Vergil's poem book from him in VoV. Ever since the fire that Dante likely blamed himself as the cause, he could have this mentality of not taking any that of Vergil, which also explain there is nothing of his twins that he owns. And it stretches to Nero, because Nero is Vergil's legacy. And Dante won't claim him, even though how much the young man meant to him, as the only surviving member of his family. Dante really love his nephew yet he doesn't want another tragedy happen due the things that has happened.
