#kirby#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#so like aliexpress used to have a terrible reputation in terms of like quality and truth in advertising and such right#but like. amazon and etsy are swamped with bootleggers and dropshippers now too#so I figured like. can't be any worse right?#besides I know how to double check descriptions and measurements and examine images critically#I've shopped shady sites before like back when banggood was the only place to get those cute diy miniature kits#(now you can get them at regular craft store chains which is Wild to me)#but I have never opened aliexpress because everyone was always just like 'Never Go There'#(but then again these days folks are doing massive temu hauls left and right)#(so clearly norms have changed even if common perception of aliexpress has not)#I open it up and I immediately find the rug I spent an entire day hunting for unsuccessfully earlier in the month.#and a ton of incredible bootleg kirbs.#and a style of hair clip I've been hunting for for *years*.#soooo I spent the entire day in a pastel fugue lol#(I have not spent any money yet but I'm probably gonna)#(so like I can't confirm that you're not gonna get scammed or whatever just like. use common sense.)#(don't trust sale prices read descriptions/reviews when available and try to avoid work stolen from independent artists)#(that's usually gonna be on printed stuff like phone cases and posters)#(and tbh I have no qualms with stolen official art as long as the quality is as advertised)#(but there's a big difference between stealing from Multinational Corporation and stealing from Some Guy)#anyway done rambling now <3

Brazil's new president works to reverse Amazon deforestation
Tumblr media
Shaking a traditional rattle, Brazil's incoming head of Indigenous affairs recently walked through every corner of the agency's headquarters—even its coffee room—as she invoked help from ancestors during a ritual cleansing.
The ritual carried extra meaning for Joenia Wapichana, Brazil's first Indigenous woman to command the agency charged with protecting the Amazon rainforest and its people. Once she is sworn in next month under newly inaugurated President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Wapichana promises to clean house at an agency that critics say has allowed the Amazon's resources to be exploited at the expense of the environment.
As Wapichana performed the ritual, Indigenous people and government officials enthusiastically chanted "Yoohoo! Funai is ours!''—a reference to the agency she will lead.
Environmentalists, Indigenous people and voters sympathetic to their causes were important to Lula's narrow victory over former President Jair Bolsonaro. Now Lula is seeking to fulfill campaign pledges he made to them on a wide range of issues, from expanding Indigenous territories to halting a surge in illegal deforestation.
To carry out these goals, Lula is appointing well-known environmentalists and Indigenous people to key positions at Funai and other agencies that Bolsonaro had filled with allies of agribusiness and military officers.

*Doing inventory for a small accessories store*
Owner: Okay, so first log the types of earrings, colors, identifiers, amounts, and prices.
Me: Okay.
Owner: You can even give them fun names if you want! Name one after yourself even!
Me, who hasn’t had a real sense of creative freedom or fun since middle school, and intends to log these like a robot: 👍

Ohhh I'm so glad that I did watch the Upgraded movie because it's great!!!! I was not gonna watch it because it just looked like your typical straight rom com but it's actually a lot more than that. Yes it's also about romance but honestly the most important part of the movie was about her career and I adore that and I also love the way it was about art!!! Also her and that guy were really cute together <3 I would recommend

Season two of good omens has (as all media on streaming services should) an audio described version.
It’s good for the most part. The sound mixing is well done, and the interruptions are well placed, however I do have one issue. Non-binary characters are referred to with the pronouns and sexes of their actors, not the pronouns and sexes (or lack thereof) which are used for them in the show and script. This is disappointing, as Neil Gaiman has made his support for the LGBTQ+ community undeniable, and has made a real effort to give genuine and positive representation to Non-binary people in his work, however this is not reflected in the Audio described version. As a result, those who enjoy Good omens entirely through this media are missing out on the wonderful representation, scattered around the show. If anyone knows the correct way to go about contacting prime for this issue to be resolved, please do so, and share how others can do the same.
(A correctly labelled metatron below for good luck today <3)

Was anyone going to tell me about Libro.fm or is an audiobook service that lets you actually own DRM-free audiobooks that can be downloaded into MP3 format AND you sync up your payment to your favorite book store too good to be true?

Amazon and Disney Purchase Ore from a Company Targeted by the Federal Police for an Illegal Mining Scheme in Brazil
Mining company acquires tin from cooperative that made payments to Bolsonaro-supporting businessman denounced by MPF; OTHER SIDE: Disney did not comment, and Amazon did not respond
Tumblr media
Some of the world's largest companies, such as Amazon and Disney, count among their suppliers a mining company that was the target of a Federal Police (PF) operation against illegal mining in the Yanomami Indigenous Land.
The Yanomami people are experiencing a humanitarian crisis due to the activities of gold miners and organized crime in their territory, located between the states of Roraima and Amazonas.
The company investigated by the PF is White Solder Metallurgy and Mining, a major global tin producer.
According to the company's website, it operates "across the entire tin production chain, from cassiterite mining to solder manufacturing." The Yanomami territory is rich in cassiterite, which yields tin.
