And ultimately, this is lazy. What does the economy care if you can make it a day or a week without buying something? You boycott Amazon for a week and then go back to buying their shit on March 15? What have you REALLY done? 3/15

Why aren't we organizing a national strike? Turns out, I have a hypothesis why: because we are lazy. Reading and engaging with Project 2025 was untenable because it was "too long" and not as "engaging" as the Harry Potter books (which, turns out were written by an anti-trans piece of shit). 4/15
If only Netflix could have made Project 2025 into a documentary so our lazy asses could consume it without having to read. And here we are, watching the Project 2025 playbook be implemented. If only y'all had read... 5/15
And if only y'all could have gotten off your asses to vote for the Black lady but something just felt off and besides... there was so much energy behind her that there was allegedly no way she could lose (except she did, which is what I told y'all was going to happen, but we can table that). 6/15
We don't actually want to do the work of a revolution because it might fuck up all the cozy luxuries with which we have become accustomed. It's easy to not buy shit from Amazon for a week. 7/15
(But fascinatingly, no one is saying we should boycott, say, Whole Foods, which is partly owned by Amazon or cancel their subscription to Prime Video because "I can't live without [insert Prime Video show here]"). You know what's not easy: putting your ass on the line for what you believe in. 8/15
So, if it makes you feel good to do a one day boycott of the economy. Knock yourself out. But call me when we are ready to walk off our jobs and actually put our asses and our livelihoods on the line. 9/15
