🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting. What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it. Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. No Contract? No Coffee.

❄️Some of our femme headmates feel this at times. Unless a woman is attractive they just get ignored and left to rot in isolation. Even then it's shallow attention for those that get it... It's just cruel how people treat each other!

It’s even more than that - passive aggressive exclusion is still rampant in any space not already majority represented by femmes. Female-presenting (and ESPECIALLY cisgender women) mutuals have expressed that despite putting in just as much effort socially and emotionally, they are largely ignored.

❄️Man we really wish we got into bakugan when we were younger... game's fun! Love rolling the legacy bakugan around. If they reboot the series I feel like they should just try to do a better Gen 1 style of game. Maybe with elements of Bakutech mixed in

Powerscaling is really funny because apparently some people have come to the conclusion that Superboy Prime loses to Dragonoid from Bakugan Now, I dunno if it's ACCURATE, but I'm gonna run with it cause that means he beats Goku and that's REALLY funny. -Royal

🔥Been awhile, hasn't it? We have been taking time to reflect and discover about ourselves, leading to our host discovering our plurality and embracing it. We will eventually start posting here again once we acclimate -Lucius

During my absence, I decided to try pushing my skills in art a bit more with a creature design! Making a card game's been a passion of mine for a long time, and I figured learning how to actually make proper creatures was a good start!
