I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.

good news, you can! the company’s called Tony’s Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.

Whole Foods carries it. If you don’t want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company. 

It’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had and it’s 100% slave free. Tony’s Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. They’re good people who make good chocolate.

Taza chocolate is really good 

This is super important! Slave child labor is used in many many cocoa farms from big name companies like Nestle and Dove. Here is a good link discussing it: http://www.foodispower.org/slavery-chocolate/ .

 And here is an easy score card to see who the worst offenders are/who to avoid most: https://www.greenamerica.org/end-child-labor-cocoa/chocolate-scorecard 

Some of theee links are dead now, and some of theee companies only do wholesale or local sales, so I went through and took some screen shots of a few from the list that do individual orders

So you have a sense of what they sell

Larian studios: "Haha yeah isn't it funny that you can sleep with a druid in bear form? That's so--Look at me, look me in the eyes. there is no such thing as an "evil race". the players handbook is full of shit. personality traits based on race and species are bullshit. Every individual has the capacity for good an evil based on circumstances" *wizards of the coast security tries to drag them off stage*

Larian, clinging to the microphone: "DRAGONBORN HAVE TAILS! TIEFLINGS CAN BE PURPLE! QUEER CHARACTERS HAVE EVERY PLACE IN FANTASY MEDIA! YOU CAN AND SHOULD ROMANCE MIND FLAYERS NO! NO! LOOK AT ME! DRINKING POTIONS IS A BONUS ACTION! DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES!"

the full video!

hi i hope it's okay that i do some excited shouting off your reblog since it's got the full video linked. to everyone in the notes asking:

I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU, BECAUSE IT IS BY THE SAME GUY!

allow me to direct you directly to Alan Becker's youtube channel right HERE

(and a quick shoutout to those of you who already knew <3)

HOWEVER!

I SEE YOU IN THE TAGS! and i can promise you that the stuff Alan Becker is making TO THIS DAY is even better than the videos you remember from 15+ years ago! (that's how long he's been around! isn't that wild?)

i'm almost certain everybody remembers - or has heard of - the original animator vs. animation, which went viral back in 2006, or maybe you remember watching the third installment of the series in 2011, with these two:

nostalgia at its finest, genuinely! but did you know that there's a fourth Animator Vs. Animation? i'm sure you recognize this orange fella (he's the one in the math video!) or maybe his friends from 2014?

but hey - did you know that there's a fifth installment? and that it looks like THIS?

i just cannot stress enough how far the realm of stickfight animations has come in these past years - and Animation Vs. Math is truly just the tip of the iceberg for Alan's content.

THERE'S EVEN A SIXTH INSTALLMENT. THE FIRST EPISODE (yes, the first episode) JUST RELEASED A FEW MONTHS AGO. LOOK AT HOW INCREDIBLE THIS IS!!! and this is just a small snippet!!

(full credit for these beautiful gifs goes to my beloved @chosec <333)

and as if that wasn't enough - over sixteen years of incredibly ground-breaking animation done by a team of dozens of wonderfully talented artists - there's even more.

do you remember this?

this is a screenshot from Animation Vs. Minecraft, and to this date, it is the most viewed Minecraft video on Youtube. that's not an exaggeration - since 2015, this one video has accumulated over 316 million views. odds are high that if you've watched any Minecraft content over the past 7 years, you've probably seen this video at least once. and y'know what's crazy?

the series never ended.

there are three full seasons of Animation Vs. Minecraft, and i'm not exaggerating when i say that the sheer amount of storytelling that is put into these little stickfigures as they explore the block game that everyone knows and loves is unbelievable. i've spent the past year dragging everyone i know into it. the full series is a 4 1/2 hour epic, steadily increasing in animation quality over the years its been in the works, building up to stunning conclusion with its own original music score that makes me cry. it's amazing.

here's some links to my personal playlists, organized and updated in chronological order:

  • the Speedrun playlist (for quick binge watching, my personal favorite for first-time watchers)
  • the 100% Run playlist (best for shorter watch sessions, with some added bonus content in the form of Shorts (not necessary to enjoy the full story, but fun to watch regardless))

if there's any sort of small-studio/team animation you want to watch and support - i cannot recommend Alan Becker's work enough. there's found family, there's cool action scenes, there's deeply heartfelt moments, all portrayed with the bare minimum of dialogue - and it's set in a delightfully unique medium full of charm that Alan and his team have maintained to this day.

and please come chat with me over on @sec-one if you have any questions! or just want to gush about how cool these stick guys are! i know i'm going to stick around (lmao) for as long as Alan creates more stories for us to enjoy, and there's no signs of stopping anytime soon <3

made a redraw of this screenshot hehe

okay, I forgot how to draw a little, but I tried 🥺

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.

You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.

YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY

The Redditors really are adapting well to the ecosystem here.

this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it

just realizes olive oil comes from olives…. much to think about

i will not have y’all humiliate me like you did when i said i thought microwaves just blew hot air on the food

stop reblogging this i can’t be known for this

Below the poll is a series of animal images labeled A through J. A is the least close to the birds we have today; J is the closest. If you encountered these animals in the wild, which would you call birds? If you pick a higher up option, then that means you consider all the below ones birds as well - so if you pick A, then BCDEFGHIJ are all birds. If you pick J, only J is a bird.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO IT CAN LEAVE PALAEOBLR. I NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE ANIMALS ON SIGHT TO VOTE.

I apologize to all of y'all with vision impairments for whom this poll is inaccessible. Alas, this is an experiment, and I cannot name the taxa. Thank you.

If you're looking for a sign to be sluttier this is it.

Text them, sext them, post that nude. Buy the outfit that shows off too much, wear it. Even if you feel self conscious at first you'll love being a slutty sex object once you give it a try.

Please reblog this to help your followers be sluttier.
