I - INVEST in small businesses that are invested in community. INITIATE a new relationship with spending and accumulation. INTICE your community with buy nothing, share everything vibes. INVOLVE and INVITE Your community with swap meets, artists’ makers markets etc.

EXPLORE businesses that are from marginalized groups and values aligned and support them whenever possible. EASE into these new practices and be gentle with yourself. ENJOY the stuff you already got and the quality products of artisans and creatives!

E - EXAMINE buying habits and where you can buy less, buy thrift, or buy with people/businesses in alignment with your values and save money instead of spend.

I’M GOING BACK TO MINNESOTA WHERE SADNESS MAKES SENSE BY DANEZ SMITH O California, don’t you know the sun is only a god if you learn to starve for him? I’m bored with the ocean I stood at the lip of it, dressed in down, praying for snow I know, I’m strange, too much light makes me nervous at least in this land where the trees always bear green. I know something that doesn’t die can’t be beautiful. Have you ever stood on a frozen lake, California? The sun above you, the snow & stalled sea—a field of mirror all demanding to be the sun too, everything around you is light & it’s gorgeous & if you stay too long it will kill you & it’s so sad, you know? You’re the only warm thing for miles & the only thing that can’t shine.

Feeling this today.

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."
