And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

you can’t wait for stocks of a company to plummet immediately and then be like “ok i’m done!”

you have to keep boycotting until the company releases an official statement retracting their support of genocidal regimes. and you have to keep boycotting the ones actively participating in crimes permanently until they shut down completely.

it shouldn’t be hard. go to your local cafe instead of starbucks. invest in a coffee machine. look up the recipes online and make em yourself. yes it’ll cost money but it’s not like sbucks is cheap. if you can afford regular purchases of overpriced coffee you can afford a one-time purchase of a coffee machine.

don’t go to mcdonald’s. go have food from small businesses. if you’re craving fried chicken, go to your local fried chicken store. there are bound to be plenty. look up recipes and make them at home even. it’ll be healthier anyway.

don’t watch disney shows and movies. if you do want to, maybe don’t use official disney sites to do so. it’s harder to boycott tv shows but try your best to find a way around it. don’t go to disneyland. you can sacrifice your fun for a greater cause.

there are alternatives for all these things.

remember: you do not have to boycott every company, you just need to boycott these big ones. focus your energy on bringing down the big fish.

Right now Queso (couch bird) is molting, which parrots do on an annual or semi-annual basis, and which is apparently very itchy and uncomfortable. They rely on other members of their flock to preen (groom) their heads where they can’t reach with their own beaks, and pet parrots will also ask their human owners to preen them in the absence of other birds by lowering their heads to expose their necks.

At the beginning of the scene Miles confronts Gwen about the 'small elite strike-team' comment.

Gwen lies and plays it off, saying that most of them are part-time anyway.

IMMEDIATELY after that in the next line dialogue, Hobie confronts Gwen and asks her 'Gwendy, how much have you told him about his place in all this? - Maybe not enough.'

Hobie is expressioning disappointment towards Gwen. He doesn't approve of her lying to Miles, knowing what's gonna happen to him. He doesn't agree with them keeping him in the dark - which is why later in the scene he says

'I haven't gotten a Scooby Doo, mate. But that's what they want.'

He's warning Miles that they're keeping in him the dark, on purpose.

ONCE AGAIN Hobie showing foward thinking and outwardly disapproving of the obviously unfair treatment that Miles is given. He's not angry at Gwen, but he's willing to tell her straight up that she's not doing or telling Miles enough to protect him.

Miles deserved to know Miguel's motives BEFORE meeting him. That's why he pointed it out then.

Babe wake up, new stupid screenshot of Miguel just dropped
