UPDATES ON AMAZON PRIME STRIKE AND PRIME DAY!
The basics:
Thousands of workers in Spain, Germany and the US have been striking leading up to and on Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest sale, calling for better working conditions, pay and health benefits.
Nearly 1,800 Amazon workers (96% of the workers at the San Fernando warehouse) in Spain went on strike Monday during Prime Day, the company’s biggest sales day of the year
Thousands more Amazon employees in Germany are expected to walk off the job Tuesday, the second day of the sale in six warehouses.
Amazon’s website and mobile app crashed for about 45 minutes, due to a computer glitch – the most widespread to date, costing Amazon millions of dollars
In the US, advocacy groups are planning several consumer rallies outside Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market locations to protest the sale of Nazi, Confederate and white nationalist merchandise through Amazon’s marketplace of third-party sellers.
Amazon is still expected to profit more this year than last year. Let’s hope we can keep spreading the word about the boycott and prove them wrong. Spain’s strike is supposed to last through the 18th, so keep boycotting
Le me: *opens Tumblr after a really long time* I wonder why I didn’t check it more often.

Me: oh, that’s why.
Hello, my dear followers,
I will rightfully inform you, my dears, that I shall soon be posting more art. Well more traditional art since I have been doing more pen work and practicing on not making any mistakes and it has been improving my normal pencil work. Although it is hard to do any digital art seeing as I have no motivation to do so, I shall make some as soon as I have the inspiration. In all honesty, I have had many struggles with my art and I have just got back into the art flow by doing my guilty pleasure art. Aka fanart of my favorite ships :3 it has been fun and my own special someone (the Dean to my Castiel) has agreed that I am doing much better mentally and physically after I got back into my flow and I am happier now. So I will be posting art soon and I hope y’all love it! Till then, ta ta my dear followers!

ARTTTTTT
I am all super proud of these I am usually terrible with drawing with JUST pen. :3
I decided to make an artwork to show you guys my art process! If you were interested 😅 (Feat. Mchanzo!)
These are my steps!:
1. Find a reference (cuz I suck at drawing bases like other talented artists)
2. Sketch out the basic shape of the peoplez
3. Sketch in details of your people :3
4. LINEARTTTT! I use different colors because I don't like using straight black anymore.
5. Base colors
6. SOFT SHADING MY FAV PART!!
7. Shell shading that matches the color of the lineart.
8. Other details (like the dark shadow over them and the blue shine from Mcree's robo arm)
And dats it! :3
YES GAVIN REED IS GAY !
Thanks Bryan Dechart!
It’s always nice to see how much he supports this. :)
I’m constantly torn between wanting to recover and wanting to be self-destructive in any way possible.
Soooo yep. Here I am again.
Okay, I ship Phan, but this isn't about romance and crap. I re-watched some Dan and Phil videos and the way Dan looks at Phil got me.
Not because I was like:
"Omfg they are amazing together you can see him stare with love fkwvlsvslabsksv d's kqkabd"
I do, do that, but this was different. You can literally see the 'care' in his eyes for Phil, even if they're joking around. You can take it in a romance or friendship way.
I just broke.
I started to cry at fucking 4:17 am with no sleep, because I feel like no one will look at me that way. I'm not talking about how your family cares for you, or how your best friend loves you (in a platonic way), but with 'care.'
I feel alone in my head. Like "Freeze your Brain" from Heathers.
"Shatter your skull fight pain with more pain. Forget who you are, unburden your load. Forget in six weeks you'll be back on the road. When the voice in your head says 'you're better off dead,' don't open a vein."
I don't know, I'm not good with emotions. I just wanted to get this off my chest. I bottle my emotions up and help other people to avoid my internal war/battle.
So, if you ever, and I mean EVER, find someone who looks at you with care and understanding, even if it's in a friendship or romantic way, don't lose that. If you lose it, you may never see it again.
All my love goes out to the people who read this, and to @danielhowell and @amazingphil for making my world a happier brighter place.
💙
