🪭 ONI 🪭

my worst relatives try to sneak meat or meat products into my food despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian

my ex's brother gave his mother an edible without her knowledge and when she got freaked out and paranoid they laughed, and people I've told that go "yeah that's shitty but it's just weed"

when I go to the doctor and ask them to describe what they are going to do before touching me they get frustrated

when I ask a friends of a friend who is a small influencer to keep me out of frame in videos they film for social media in public they look at me like I've pissed in their cereal

Food Empowerment Project maintains an updated list of chocolate brands they recommend based on the following standards:

transparency about the country of origin for cocoa

if sourced from Western Africa, the workers must own the companies/be in charge of the profits from their labor (this standard is because child labor and slavery have been widely documented for decades in this area)

if sourced from Brazil, the workers must own the company and/or be in charge of the profits from their labor, or the company must be going above and beyond to support the workers and their families (this standard is because "child labor and slavery only recently have been documented in cocoa in Brazil" and they are "giving Brazilian companies that are trying to address the issue by supporting the workers and their families the benefit of the doubt.")

So, Tony’s allied with Barry Callebut to get its cocoa. Barry Callebut is one of the biggest chocolate companies in the world, and it is unethical, obviously. This led to Tony’s revealing in February 2022 that 1701 child laborers were in their supply chain. Barry Callebut had over 21K at the time. Both of those numbers have risen, and Tony’s has outright admitted they don’t give a fuck about child labor laws when asked about it, content to let children to continue farming their cocoa instead of actually doing the activism they claim to do.

About a week ago, Tony’s joined Barry, Nestle and Ferrero in pushing against the reinstatement of important EUDR deforestation legislations. Under that regulation that they pushed against, they would’ve had to be more transparent about their supply chains for their more key ingredients - So Tony’s is lobbying against the exact thing they claim to stand for.

Won’t restate @closet-keys’s addition, of course. That’d just be redundant and maybe annoying since, yknow, it’s already been said.

If you wanna find a better chocolate brand it’s really damn easy. There’s lists on slavefreechocolate.org of both the ethical and unethical companies. Both lists can be found here:

If they hadn't fought, been arrested, and literally spilled blood, coal companies would have kept them basically enslaved.

In the dead of night, the crackle of the flames and their cheery glow are almost the only thing keeping you company on the midnight watch.

Almost, save for Vincent perching at the very edge of where the light reaches, arms folded over his chest and face tucked into his cowl save for the ember of his left eye peering out from the shadows. If you were less familiar with him it would be eerie - certainly most of the party doesn't exactly care for the sleepless sentry. But you'd gotten comfortable with the fact that he could go the night without sleeping in monster-infested wilderness, and the silence aside from the campfire popping and cracking is comfortable to you.

Sometimes the warmth was a little too much, and you would retreat to the edge yourself, just close enough to him that he could whisper if he felt like it. He never did, but he always watched, as if curious.

This time the coolness of the air free from smoke is simply too inviting, and you doze off by accident.

In the early morning you wake, closer to the low embers of the dying fire once more, and draped with ragged red fabric. In the pre-dawn light you can barely make out Vincent in his same position, and the amber glow of his eye steady, watching.

The Black Materia

[One Winged Angel starts playing ominously in the distance] Are ya'll ready????

Lifestream energy swirls around mangled corpses, thoughtlessly cast aside. The green tendrils taunt you, beckoning as you walk past. Twisted energy reaches out, caressing at the back of your neck and threatening to slide inside. Let it try. You’re not afraid, there’s nothing else this place could possibly show you that might matter. 

Giving Vincent Valentine a high ponytail is the sluttiest thing they could have ever done to him.
