big animation is kinda shit. It seems small creatives with big dreams are making the best stuff right now. Like, Helluva Boss, Murder Drones, Bee and PuppyCat, Nimona, and The Owl House are phenomenal. And you know why they are phenomenal? Because its either small studios or big companies letting a few creatives run wild. Let artists cook. Fuck big corporations. Free art!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Kellogg's Boycott. Again. Haven't seen any posts about it here yet, so figured I'd make one.
In short: We're all tired of these big companies gouging their prices just because they can, and calling it 'inflation.' We're tired of companies announcing record profits while they cut bonuses/lay people off/force workers to run on skeleton crews/etc. We're tired of "Shrinkflation" And we're tired of a bunch of other shit too, but you get my point.
So, vote with your wallet.
On April 1st, stop buying Kellogg's, and keep that up until June 30th. Just three months- just one quarter of the fiscal year. Companies report earnings each quarter, and if their earnings drop it will reflect in these quarterly reports.
Why Kellogg's?
Because their CEO recently pulled a "Let them eat cake." TLDR; Kellogg's has raised prices by 28% across the board, bragged about record breaking profits, and then suggested that families struggling to afford groceries, because of aforementioned price gouging, just "eat cereal for dinner!"
And well, that message was not well received by anyone, as one could imagine. Pissed a lot of people off.
So yeah. The plan is to stop buying any Kellogg's products (below) for the entirety of the second quarter (April 1st-June 30th) and to collectively tell Kellogg to fuck off until they lower their prices. The goal isn't to "destroy the company" or cost anyone their jobs- but we will hit them where they will listen. Their profits.
If they don't listen, then we don't come back, and we start in on the next company, and keep going until they all get the message. There's always alternatives (more on that below) and we don't need them. If they refuse to drop their prices, then we just stick with the alternatives we found.

Three months is a minor inconvenience to teach a corporation a lesson, and we can do it.
So, take this month before April to find your alternatives. If you need help, I based a non-comprehensive list (below) off the image above. There's tons more just a google search away, and I bet others have made lists as well. There's also always the option to make your own. There's tons of recipes online showing how to make dupes of your favorite products.
Tumblr media
Some things to note:
Don't go stocking up on your favorite Kellogg's products the last week of March and think you're not crossing the picket line. The point is to make Kellogg's feel the loss in profits, and stocking up on Cheez-its beforehand will defeat the purpose. I sincerely promise you can make it three months without buying Kellogg's. Again, three months is a minor inconvenience to teach a corporation a lesson, and we can do it.
That said, Safe Foods are acknowledged. If you or your child is neurodivergent and has issues with food (i.e: literally won't be won't be able to eat at all without their safe food) you get a pass. By all means feel free to try and find alternatives, but it's very unlikely that the few who can't boycott will cause it to fail. There should be plenty of the rest of us to pick up the slack.
Don't be a bystander- meaning don't go about this thinking "Oh, well surely there's enough people boycotting that it's fine if I just-" No. If we ever want things to change then we need to be strong enough to do even something as small as not buying something we like for three months. Furthermore, it's on those of us who can afford Kellogg's products to boycott Kellogg's. It's not the responsibility of those who already can't afford Eggos to boycott Eggos. Nothing will change if you go about just assuming everyone else already has it handled for you. Take a stand.
And importantly, Spread the word. This only works if we let as many people as possible know about it.
So reblog this post, or make your own post, or both. Even feel free to copy and paste this entire post off-platform if you need to. I've also seen some suggest making flyers, or even just writing on post-it notes, and sticking them to Kellogg's products in the store to spread the word off-line.
Just get the word out there. If we ever want these companies to stop gouging us for every cent we've earned, then we have to make a stand somewhere.
If we do nothing it will only ever get worse.

I think the real, worrying, on-going problem with Unity is the fact that the investors and CEO no longer have incentive to keep the company alive.
They all sold massive amounts of stock before making the change. They knew this would kill Unity. They don’t care. In fact, they’re doing it on purpose. They sold their stock high, gave the company its death knell and now they’re just waiting for some trickle of extra revenue to be brought in by game developers when the change goes into affect, and once developers and gaming corporations start switching away from Unity, they’ll fold the company, not care, and be richer because if it.
Unity is dying on purpose, and there isn’t anything that can be done.

I recently watched "Pepsi, Where's My Jet?", a documentary about how Pepsi seemingly offered a Harrier fighter jet as a reward to anyone who could collect enough "Pepsi Points".
A commercial aired in the 90's to promote Pepsi's points program, showing increasingly valuable prizes. The final item was a Harrier jet, listed for 7,000,000 points...with no disclaimer.
John Leonard took them up on the apparent offer, which resulted in a several years long legal tussle. Ultimately, a judge granted summary judgement in favor of Pepsi, ruling that the Harrier was clearly a joke and the commercial did not constitute a real offer.
In the meantime, Pepsi had changed the original commercial to say 700 million points, and added a cheeky "(Just Kidding)" underneath it.
I made this piece to commemorate what a bunch of good-humored jokesters and definitely-not-slippery upstanding dudes Pepsi guys are. If any former or current @pepsi execs want this piece as a memento of their time serving the world's best blue cola, hit me up and I'll send it to you for free!
If you're interested in watching the documentary, it's available on Netflix.

My husband was unceremoniously let go from his managerial job at Panera Bread at the start of covid because he had the absolute audacity to advocate for the employees he was managing. I can’t exaggerate how much he bent over backwards for this company, dropped everything to go in overnight because they needed someone, etc
ANYWAY we ended up moving two states away to a much smaller town, and three years later these CORPORATE GHOULS decide to open a location here. These absolute bedbugs in human form decided to take their slimey greens and full menu devoid of even but one crumb of a spice or a flavor
And wow do I have half a mind to do a crime about it
BUT INSTEAD here’s some tips to make better sandos/ salads/ smoothies better by yourself
- The best honey mustard is literally equal parts dijon, honey, and mayo plus a little salt. Adjust to taste depending on how you like it
- The formula to make great vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to one part acid. I do 2:1 because I like it more acidic. The acid can be any kind of vinegar, citrus juice, mustard, etc. my go to that will get you compliments every time is 3tbs oil, about 1.5 tbs balsamic, and about 2tsp each of honey and dijon. Salt and pepper to taste and minced shallots if I’m trying to impress someone. You can shake them together in a jar or tupperware to emulsify, I usually whisk it together in the bottom of the bigass salad bowl so it’s one less dish
- The best smoothie in the world is frozen peaches, frozen strawberries, orange juice, and silken tofu. It’s also a very pleasant shade of tropical pink
Eat well and stick it to the fucking man ✌️

The most recent thing to have further radicalized me was the insult of being directly told that healthcare, transportation coverage, and a potential retirement plan were as much a benefit to my employer's eyes as a free fucking t-shirt. A t-shirt.

IDK how people are so surprised that Paul Simms is throwing out flimsy excuses for why Nandermo can’t be canon.
Like do you guys not remember who owns FX and Hulu?

If you want to keep engaging in limbus content guilt-free here's your chance to make your voice heard. By keeping silence you let the incels on twitter speak for you. A company is nothing without its consumers, especially when it need to pay rent, pay its workers, run a restaurant, develop new games, and is run by an incompetent CEO.
