GORGEOUS ADS DON’T MEAN INTEGRITY [2020.08.01]

So much glossy advertising encouraging you to think different with their coolness. Don’t be suckered. Nike still has reprehensible business in their pipeline. Say hello to genocide, ethnic obliteration, slave labor, forced sterilization, and so on. Also PPE is made by this same system of slave labor of the Uighur. Skip Nike. Make your own masks from scrap or support a friend/vendor you know. See links below for more sources about the corruption in things we are told to think are cool in advertising, because those ads are amazing.

IF YOUR FRIDGE IS FULL ... YOU COULD FILL YOUR HEART, TOO. [2020.07.10]

"Nearly 14 million children in the United States went hungry in June, as the economic fallout from the pandemic continued to batter families. That’s an increase of more than 10 million since 2018"

There are lots of local food banks and NFPs that do work for the poor in our country and others around the world. Share what you have, it feels incredible. Sorry to be a broken record here, but am trying to break through society's broken record of "buy, buy, buy" instead of "give, give, give." The latter builds your world and your health. Giving is a way of life that not as many have subscribed to, so we may be the few annoying voices in your ears that have been normalized to the other tune. To us, that tune is OLD and not serving mankind anymore. Let's invest in reversing global warming, not the latest gadget we do't need. Let's create jobs in the not-for-profit sector because we'd rather invest in our world. Connection and community is the real wealth, though you'll also save money when you Own It.
