i did some research and got to the root of the misunderstanding about the strike dates

it looks like, originally, the spanish workers were going to strike from July 10th-12th due to the working conditions at the san fernando warehouse – which is a MAJOR location for amazon spain where millions of packages are handled. but after making some progress with negotiations with amazon they called off the strike and held more meetings ahead of prime day, keeping a possible strike on prime day on the table if amazon didn’t cooperate

AT THIS POINT THE PRIME DAY STRIKE IS ON, from July 16-18, according to their official twitter.

just to be clear; the misinformation about the dates wasn’t due to random claims pulled out of nowhere – at one point this was the ACTUAL time of the strike, it just changed in the course of negotiations

so again – don’t bite people’s heads off for wrong information during unfolding current events. those details were true at one time. then changed. it’s in the spanish news. probably not in american news bc amazon owns everything here and bc america tends to ignore shit happening in europe. i used google translate to read spanish articles on the topic there’s a lot out there if you use key terms like “amazon

huelga

”

a) do you really think someone would put all that time and energy into making an infinity stone jewelry piece if they didn’t know all about the infinity stones

b) I don’t see you putting all that time and energy into making an infinity stone jewelry piece, what have you contributed lately besides being a dick to people for no reason

The older I get, the more I appreciate the existence of North American opossums. They don’t spread rabies and today I learned that they eat ticks. God knows we need more animals to take those little blood-sucking bastards out. The cute little tick-munching trash babies are out there just trying to do their best and I love them.

like. objectively. living in that time period would SUCK but victorian stuff is so, so, sexy. i want to be sent off to boarding school because i’m too rowdy in an attempt to make me stop embarrassing my family only to enter into a tempestuous love affair with my roommate before drowning in the grounds lake.

DUDE! YOU GOTTA POST THE WHOLE STORY CUSE IT GETS BETTER!

She was one of the first volunteers to come to the cave. She worked to cook meals and provide rest for the soldiers and divers trying to get to the boys.

She has 5 acres of land where she farms rice all on her own since her husband died and she left it shortly after planting to go and give what she could to the rescue effort. She returned home a week later to find her fields flooded by the water being pumped out of the cave system.

From what the article says, it doesn’t seem to have destroyed all her (and almost a dozen other farmers) crops but it was a good portion of them.

This woman is wonderful. She could have seen this as a “no good deed goes unpunished” but she just laughed it off and said it was worth it to save those boys.
