Boycott launch date of Switch 2 and buy it the next day, June 6.
This has worked before:
When the 3DS released, it was over priced too. No one bought it so then they lowered the price!
It has happened before, it can happen again.
If you can wait even 1 day at least, or 1 week at best, it will make a difference.
Spread the news. In solidarity of those who can't buy Switch 2, those who can buy it should at least boycott the launch date. I garantee you it WILL make a difference.
Remember the consumer is always right.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.
“Axol why haven’t u posted?” “Axol where did you go?”
I’m crying over the funny stingray man and the fucking bread dog thats were I went
Expect Israel's bot army to be extra active in the coming days and weeks, and not just on Tiktok
By making pro Palestine posts, you're making a difference

I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE OR DO ANYTHING WITHOUT SOME BITCH SPOILUNG ME YOU ASSSHOLEESSSS
Losing my fucking mind. Chat. Chat can you hear me
The youngest Palestinian journalist is a 9 year old girl.
Her name Lama Jamous.
Lama has been reporting on tik tok what has been happening in Gaza. Her father is a journalist working for Al Jazeera and is trying to get her out of Rafah.
Link to the gofundme from the video
Please share her story.
Edited to include video description provided by @a-captions-blog
[Video description: TikTok by @ZerlinaSchmerlina, whose face is edited over a photo of a Palestinian child holding a phone camera up to the sea. This was posted by lama_jamous9. Zerlina says: This is Lama. She is a nine-year-old Afro-Palestinian journalist who lives in Gaza, and her father is trying really hard to get her evacuated into Egypt. There is a GoFundMe link in my bio where people have raised well over $48,000. I think It's like $52,000 right now to help get her and her family into Egypt. But what is really really important that we can do is please make videos, and please share and repost videos really raising awareness about the urgency of getting her into safety, her and her family to safety. I have tagged Al Jazeera English in this caption, but you can also tag them in your own videos that you make, in the comment section on Instagram etc. Please help raise awareness. [The background photo changes to show Lama holding a pink flower up to the camera.] Constant effort and pressure for a ceasefire can sometimes feel hopeless when our governments are not listening to us, but if there’s something we can do to help one, two, three children, let’s please do it. Please make a video and help raise awareness, and help put the pressure on to bring her and her family into safety. \End description]
FUCK AI!! Artist made by people will ALWAYS be more valuable and enjoyable than art made by the machine, especially unethically. Reminder that stolen art is still stolen! AI is an amalgamation of artists hard work stolen without their permission and frankenstein'd together to create something that should have never existed in the first place. And while there CAN be AI used for good, such as how they used it in SpiderVerse to aide the process - it was used by consenting artists that did not do the entire job for them, but rather menial tasks.
AI is incredibly dangerous for other means, especially with the making of videos, games, and other stuff. As someone who finds home in artist fairs / alleys and whose whole love and joy comes from creation, the feeling is disheartening but more-so lights a fire. Human art will always prevail. We will never die, and to not let AI steal - in reference to my previous post, Go into your settings (under visibility) and check off a setting that lets Tumblr use your art for training - and if you're on computer and have the means to do so, use Nightshade / Glaze and poison your art. How this works, is that the programs will shift the pixels ever-so-slightly, unnoticed by the human eye but will completely fuck up the training for the AI - so your picture of a cat could end up looking like a really uncanny picture of a cow to the bot :) ( Though, I do realize it takes a long time to download? I haven't quite gotten around to using it yet, but I've heard from quite a few people that it works x) ) on the other hand, there's a warmup sketch and i have been trying to think of ways to experiment with my art style :))

The UNRWA is concerned that if they do not receive more funding they will run out by the end of February please spread this message
in case any of you missed it, despite the ICJ’s ruling for Israel to facilitate MORE aid into Gaza, the global west has responded by cutting funding to UNWRA, which is responsible for delivering significant amounts of aid into Gaza, as well as surrounding areas such as Lebanon. The countries cutting funding consist of the US, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Swritzerland, Italy, Germany, Finland, Canada and Japan. This was all due to a claim by Israel that members of UNWRA were Hamas-members or sympathisers which, at the end of the day, is a claim that concerns only 12 members in a total of 30,000.
Without proper funding, UNWRA is likely to run out of resources by February of this year (only another month) and urges the countries that have suspended donations to reconsider. This is a blatant move from the colonialist countries of this world to starve Palestinians even further when they are already facing unforeseen levels of famine.
Please take some time out of your day to call your reps, your political leaders and urge them to restart their funding. In the meantime, here is a link to donate to the UNWRA.
