ECONOMIC BLACKOUT ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025

TAKE PART & SHARE THE NEWS

If you haven't heard, there will be an economic blackout Febuary 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business, and use cash if possible. Don’t buy gas, fast food, groceries, etc. While you’re at it boycott Amazon (cancel that membership), Tesla, Walmart, Meta & X, Ford, HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Marshalls Néstle, Toyota, Chevron, Boeing (check airlines), JPMorgan Chase, AT&T, Hershey, Sam's Club, Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, Applebee’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, Chick-fil-A, tampax, old spice, Bacardi Liquor, Tito’s Liquor, General Mills (Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, Cinnamon Toast Crunch/Cheerios/Lucky Charms/Cocoa Puffs, Chex Mix, Pillsbury, Bisquick, Yoplait, Hamburger Helper, Annie’s Homegrown, Betty Crocker, etc), Urban Outfitters, Free People, Home Depot, McDonald’s (all lobbyists and/or donated to Trumps campaign).

These lobbyist corrupt corporations & companies only care about money, that’s why it’s so easy for them to screw over the working class with less worker protections, cutting important programs, denying healthcare, etc. So if that’s the case, the most impactful movement is to hurt their pockets. Power in numbers.

Economic boycotts and blackouts, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and international sanctions against apartheid South Africa, have proven effective in enacting political change by applying sustained economic pressure that directly impacts the target’s financial stability. When supported by widespread participation and media attention, these actions can lead to significant policy shifts, as seen with the end of apartheid and changes in corporate practices influenced by public boycott movements. If 1 in 4 Americans stopped buying from brands like Amazon, Walmart, or Nestlé, or saved money altogether by adopting a “we have or can make this at home” mindset, it could compel organizations and governments to reconsider where and how they allocate resources and contribute to policies, driven by the need to avoid reputational and financial losses. This collective action could disrupt corporate influence on politics, pushing for more ethical and socially responsible practices.

Please spread the word! Thank you!

How blog started: ugh… I wanna repost this thing but it wouldn't fit the super specific vibe of my blog :/

I took some creative liberties with the color palettes~ I had to make sure their Pokémon self captured their Rise charm hehehe

I LOVE THEM ALL! I’M HAPPY WITH ALL THEIR DESIGNS SHSJSKA

How do you do your backgrounds so good?

Fun fact: I historically hated and could not draw backgrounds.

Lots of practice. Lots of experiments. Lots of "guess it'll just have to look bad." Lots of study. Lots of failure. Lots of just doing the best I could with the skills I have.

I've learned a lot about backgrounds and color theory while making this comic. I learned a lot about layering and methods to prevent mistakes, to mitigate mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable. I learned what alpha lock was drawing episode 11. I have no idea what I'm doing but it works for me lmao

Tldr; fail lots and learn lots. Love what you do all the time.

So, I swapped Wooly and King. Just two silly animals being controlled and traumatized by overpowered children. <3

Trying to draw king without the skull is so trippy, that's not my baby.

Working on part 2. Hope you like my funky AU (Hey, that rhymed!)

She's judging you.

(this is my first time drawing an otter, im shocked it turned out well. I think this is becoming an au)

I get questions about Machete's ear situation quite often so I whipped up a quick age chart.
