Didnt Expect To Be Talking Abt Starbucks So Much After I Quit But It Just Keeps Getting Worse

didnt expect to be talking abt starbucks so much after i quit but it just keeps getting worse

Screenshot of the linked articles headline. ‘Morally repugnant’: Brazilian workers sue coffee supplier to Starbucks over ‘slavery-like conditions’

Brazil has been the world’s leading coffee producer due to the forced labour of enslaved Africans and Afro-Brazilians.

8 human trafficking survivors are suing Starbucks, exposing years of forced labor and child labor. the article starts with the story of a man who was enslaved at age 16 and was just rescued last year. if nothing else has convinced you to boycott, please let this sway you...

it also says the NGO CoffeeWatch is filing a complaint with US Customs and Border Protection attempting to block these corporations from importing coffees produced wholly or in part by slave labor in Brazil.

but this isn't unique to Starbucks, this is the unspoken truth of many of our goods in the west, relying on the exploitation of people in the global south. i pray all the survivors secure a massive payout, but still.. i cant imagine anything would ever make up for this kind of treatment.

In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!

You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.

Neocities
neocities.org
Create and surf awesome websites for free.

And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)

Struggling to find independent web pages that cater to your interests via major search engines? I've got you covered. Marginalia and Wiby are search engines that specifically prioritize non-commercial content. Marginalia also has filters that let you search for more specific categories of website, like wikis, blogs, academia, forums, and vintage sites.

Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.

Home - Protoweb
Protoweb
With ProtoWeb, you can browse the web like it's 1995!

Protoweb has a lot of Geocities content archived, but if you're interested in that you can find even more old Geocities sites over on the Geocities Gallery

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there. The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.

Help Walaa and Her Newborn Escape the Crisis in Gaza

Give a mother the chance to save her baby and rebuild a life of hope.

My name is Walaa, and I’m reaching out in desperation to save my

family’s future.

I am a psychologist from Gaza. Before the war, I had a fulfilling

career helping others heal. I hold a master’s degree in psychology,

and I was proud of the life I was building. But everything changed

when the war began.

In a matter of days, I lost it all my job, my home, my savings, and my

sense of security. My husband and I have been displaced multiple

times, struggling to survive in unbearable conditions. We welcomed

our miracle baby born through IVF just one week before the war

started. She is now severely malnourished because we cannot

access proper food or care. Each day I look at her tiny, fragile body

and pray I won’t lose her.

I am not just asking for help I am pleading for the life of my child.

The war has taken everything from us, and we are left with no

resources, no income, and no stability. We need urgent support to

survive and escape to safety.

Your donation will directly help us:

• Secure safe and stable shelter for my family

• Buy emergency food, clean water, baby formula, and

hygiene supplies

• Pay for immediate medical treatment and nutrition

for my baby

• Cover the costs of traveling to a safer location where

we can rebuild

This campaign is not just about survival it’s about hope.

Hope that my baby will grow up in peace.

Hope that I can return to helping others.

Hope that war won’t define our story.

Please, if you’re reading this, take a moment to stand with us. Even

a small donation can make an enormous difference in our lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your compassion means

more than words can express.

With all my gratitude,

Walaa

🚨Take a moment to imagine your child or loved one. What would you do for them? How far would you go to protect them and shield them from pain, loss and despair🚨

I am Marwa, a mother of three girls, Belasan, Joan and Nada, ages 7 to 14. 🔊🔉🔈I will take a moment to share my story.📢📣

My children and I lived under bombardment and aggression. We had a safe home full of dreams and a bright future for my daughters.

🚨Take A Moment To Imagine Your Child Or Loved One. What Would You Do For Them? How Far Would You Go

But everything changed when the war on Gaza began. Our house, which we built with strength and effort before the war, was destroyed.

🚨Take A Moment To Imagine Your Child Or Loved One. What Would You Do For Them? How Far Would You Go

We lost our job, which was our only source of income. The journey of displacement and moving from one place to another began without the minimum necessities of life. We faced difficulties in providing healthy food and clean water. We lived in fear and terror. My daughters could no longer sleep from the intensity of fear.

🚨Take A Moment To Imagine Your Child Or Loved One. What Would You Do For Them? How Far Would You Go

My mother-in-law suffers from serious lung infections and chronic diseases, and we find it difficult to provide appropriate treatment for her, especially in the winter and the bitter cold. She is part of our family after losing her husband. We are now without shelter, moving from one place to another, and struggling to survive. Today we have no income, no life, and no work. We are determined to rebuild our dreams, secure our future, and rebuild our home. We cannot do this alone and we need your help in building our lives. Your support, no matter how small, can make a big difference. Thank you for helping us find hope on our journey.

What isn't happening in Gaza right now?

23rd of Ramadan.

We were hoping to enjoy some safety… But we didn't even get to enjoy a little safety before the war, which never really ended, was renewed.

It was renewed after two months of "rest" that was nothing more than a pause in the bloodshed. It was renewed after two months of "rest" during which the crossings were not opened and the siege continued. It was renewed after two months of "rest" during which they took what they wanted from Gaza and then resumed the bombing and destruction. Yesterday, they besieged more than 50,000 displaced people in the west of Rafah, abusing them and carrying out massacres.

The children who were waiting for Eid… were martyred. The sound of bombing, displacement, and homelessness never leaves us.

Gaza itself is tired… tired… tired. So what about its people and its families?

We are tired of the bombing, the destruction, the displacement. We haven't even recovered from the last displacement, and now we have to leave our homes again, which we haven't even had time to rebuild? Are they going to destroy them again after the hope we had? We are tired of greedy merchants, tired of the lack of food. Imagine that in the month of Ramadan, I fast from food for 12 hours, and my main meal is hummus or sometimes rice.

We are very tired… And we need you so much in a way I've never felt before in my life. We need you more than at the beginning of the war because the war has returned even stronger than before!! Support at gofundme Link

You'll never know how strong you are until strength is your only option."

From the heart of Gaza, these words become more true than ever. I am Bilal Abed Rabou, and I stand before you as a survivor of five wars, an academic student at Al-Azhar University and a software developer from the besieged Gaza Strip. I witnessed the devastating effects of these conditions firsthand

You'll Never Know How Strong You Are Until Strength Is Your Only Option."

We were a family, living in peace, love and warmth. But everything changed when conflict and despair swept through our lives. Living in Gaza means confronting ongoing conflict, struggling against poverty and the lack of basic necessities to live. Life is very difficult, and even the simplest tasks seem impossible. Yet, despite all the chaos and pain, we remained grounded by the warmth of our love and the strength of our spirits.

You'll Never Know How Strong You Are Until Strength Is Your Only Option."

Even six months ago, everything changed. Our once home turned into a mess and everything we cherished. Since then, we have been lost, clinging to a world of uncertainty and despair. We left our badly damaged home with only a few things. Since then, our lives have been threatened

with every passing minute.

You'll Never Know How Strong You Are Until Strength Is Your Only Option."

But now, there is no longer a reason to stay in this place full of suffering, where we are deprived of even the most basic and important rights, education, security and peace.

Our hearts hurt because of all this injustice. We were willing to endure anything to keep our family together and provide comfort and care for our father in his time of need.

With each passing day, our despair grows and our burdens grow heavier. We need your help to break the cycle of suffering, rebuild our shattered dreams, pave the way to a better future, and reunite with our family. Your support is not just a lifeline; Rather, it is a beacon of hope in our darkest moments.

my issue with the argument that "disliking ai art is inherently reactionary" is that it acts like pro-ai art people are somehow less reactionary on their views on art, when like the majority of defense's of ai art as like a higher form art are indistinguishable from the arguments people use to defend the art of like. hitler
