Largely because of the message on this t-shirt I customised, inspired by the words of the incredible Caryn Franklin, but also because I have a bloody thesis to write!
Capitalism: I'm not buying it!

Goodbye Black Friday, hello #citizenfriday! It's fantastic to be part of a growing movement of people taking the jump beyond consumerism. Saluting re-action-collective.org/citizen-frid... for giving today a whole new meaning - we couldn't be more on board at Take the Jump.
We've been hugely inspired by the folks at Re-Action Collective, a passionate group of individuals and organisations getting on with the job of creating a true circular economy through the repair, rebranding and repurposing of outdoor gear – and in turn leading the call for #CitizenFriday
Instead of #BlackFriday ☠️ why not try #CitizenFriday 💚 instead and:

#CitizenFriday times around the fire pit as I learn the banjo and listen to the kookaburra calling at the end of a warm one!
Every day, in 1000s of ways, we're being cultivated to be consumers.
Forget #BlackFriday - let's make it #CitizenFriday
Resist the call to consume
Reconnect with what matters to you. Find your agency and purpose
And....
Loved it. The more we understand the psychology of Black Friday, the better able we are able to understand when we are being manipulated.
Let’s take back control and make every Friday #CitizenFriday 💚

A collage of three images, one of Helen wearing a black t-shirt with "Capitalism: I'm not buying it!" The text is in the style of ransom style newsprint letters. The other two images in the collage are a close of of the t-shirt and text.
