I know we're doing the whole "don't buy today" thing, but I really think we should just stop buying from certain companies forever. Walmart, target, and so on... Buy local. Buy small creators. Buy black owned business. - ThreadSky

Buy local.
Buy small creators.
Buy black owned business.

Even if you can't fully shift away from a place (like Walmart), every chance you take to buy elsewhere is a hit to big business 👍🏻

Local trade through FB Marketplace.
Online creator shops.
Thrifting when you can.
Garage selling.

Americans idea of protest is about money.

But they wont do a tax strike.

But they will shut down highways, be frugal for a day, have arson riots, fight class traitor police.

a lot of times if i can’t find something at a secondhand place by me or a local business, i just end up deciding i can live without it!

I haven't bought from Walmart in a decade.

I am cutting way back on Target and paying more for a better selection of better-quality groceries elsewhere.

I removed the Amazon app from my phone and canceled Prime.

I am also extricating myself from the Gulf of Google.

Yeah I've been working on all these things, too. Plus local trade with neighbors.

I am having the hardest time getting away from Google. I sold my soul to Google so long ago they are intertwined in everything. I got email/calendar/maps moved and deleted all the data I was able to.

I just hope people realize some of us don't have a choice and don't give us shit for it which has happened to me in the past.

Of course, but those of us that can, definitely should start making these shifts.

Also thrifting 😌
