I want to be rich so I can travel the long distance to visit my family whenever.

I want to be rich so I can invest the time and money in learning Portuguese, Arabic, painting, dance.

I want to be rich so I can donate more to more causes I care about.

Unfortunately, businesses are structurally evil.

I've heard that in ancient Rome businesses didn't exist, families did. No eligible family members, no business action.

Fast furniture wobbles after a month. Fast fashion falls apart in the wash. Slow down. Buy second-hand. Fix what you have. Reject the culture of disposable everything. What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use? ♻️ #Sustainability #SlowLiving #Thrifting #RightToRepair #AntiConsumerism

@bbkittyfck.bsky.social ironically, #minimalism and #anticonsumerism on a moderate salary can lead to a person becoming petit bourgeoisie: owning some stock, paid off home, paid off car, experiencing increase in net worth

Best-selling Apple product 'has been exposing us to CANCER' Apple has been accused of exposing users to cancer in a new lawsuit that claims one of tech giant's best-selling products contain high levels of cancer-causing 'forever chemicals.'

When McDonald's isn't selling literal 💩 to its customers, Apple takes over with its cancer-exposing products. Perhaps don't buy crappy things from greedy corporations, just a suggestion.

I used to spend like $600 in a weekend just to attend a performance with gas, tolls, meals, tickets. Now I walk my neighborhood on weekends. #anticonsumerism

It is so important to our creative well-being to make art that doesn't feed into the capitalism machine. Turning every creative expression into something consumable really does poison the creativity well. Guard that space. Make art for the sake of making.

Day 3 of not buying anything apart from food basics.

Resolutions often try to sell us things. This year, my goal is to buy less, fix more, and be present. You are enough as you are. You don't need to purchase a "new you." Who else is opting out of the hustle this year? #NewYear #Sustainability #AntiConsumerism #Enough #SlowLiving

2026 is going to be about less stuff, more art and creativity for me.

#anticonsumerism

My friend and I exchange baskets ‘from my kitchen and garden to yours’. Thrilled!!
#AntiConsumerism

I didn't buy STUFF.
I filled up my SUV and took a big load to the food bank.I made gifts like soap, jam,and salsa verde from my garden produce. I created meals in a jar. The only thing I bought was a Costco membership because he needs it for health supplies. My friends did the same. #AntiConsumerism

Anticonsumerism isn't just NOT buying excess stuff, it's also wasting less.I bought a basket of plums on sale that were mealy and not nice for eating out of hand.They are now being turned into a plum chutney and the pits and icky parts will feed the birds in an up cycled onion bag. #AntiConsumerism

According to the American Psychological Association 41% of adults say their stress increases during the holidays compared to other points in the year.

💫 The Gift Economy

The average American family spends $1000+ on Christmas gifts, while research shows experiential gifts create more lasting happiness than material ones.
Ancient cultures knew something we forgot.

If you’re purposefully NOT shopping today, you’re in good company. Many of the artist's books featured in "Lucy R. Lippard: Notes From the Radical Whirlwind" critique capitalism's effects on art, labor, and society

The F in Jesus Christ I used to work retail and Black Friday was (and still is) the worst day of the year. No one needs your gifts that badly. It's not in the spirit of whatever holiday celebration you honor.

Black Friday is not
A day to buy perfect gifts.

To prepare for a recession, reduce unnecessary spending as much as possible. Sorry Americans, you guys got to spend less on Christmas.

The GOP -and establishment Dems- want you spending, putting money directly into their corporate donors, and by extension -their- pockets. Dont.

Stick to essentials, buy nothing else that isnt needed. Especially on Black Friday - HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS! 💰
