🎵 last song: whoomp! there it is - tag team. saw this phm tiktok edit and haven't stopped listening to it.

📺 currently watching: adults fx (yes again. so much better the second time watching it through the panton lens), widow's bay (i want to marry matthew rhys so BAD), and you rang m'lord? (an oldie, used to watch it with my dad and he bought me the box set not long before he died. i never watched them again until now.)

💖 current obsession: adults fx, half man, and project hail mary. also jigsaws (i've been doing so many, we have a little club at work) and going to the cinema (i go at least once a week these days!).

📚 currently reading: still working through young mungo by douglas stuart, about halfway through. idk why it's taken so long, i guess i'm just not vibing with it the way i hoped i would. it's so so similar to half man in a lot of ways but it doesn't quite hit the same. oh! and i reserved butter by asako yuzuki at my library and that just became available this morning so i guess i'll start that soon.

✍️ currently working on: my half man fic that i'm not talking about. i'm about halfway through, trying not to burn myself out so i'm slowing down with the updates as the chapters get longer.

🔍 last google search: Ao3 >:]

Here's why:

I have NO money to give you

I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach

I am a minor, and most of my followers are too

It makes me feel extremely guilty

Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)

They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate

It makes me feel uncomfortable

I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected

I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't

I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over

Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.

Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3

Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.

Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.

Used slavery to produce their cocoa.

Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.

Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.

Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.

Price-fixed food items.

Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.

The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.

They have an entire page on Wikipedia just for the problems they've caused.

I grew up next to what should have been one of their "Company towns" in Brazil.
