#Starbucks is one of the easiest boycotts to engage in. There's so many other choices for coffee shops - many local cafes need your support more!
None of us need to keep giving Starbucks any of our money. They're #UnionBusters & their company supports #EthnicCleansing #genocide of #Palestinians too. Stop giving them money!

Buck vs Bell, we started this back then.
It is us.
And we can correct it.

I will never understand why people want their children, or anyone, to go through hellish experiences that they did.
It doesn't "build character", it causes trauma.
If @powerword and I can help it, our child won't have to go through the traumatic things that we did.
We should want better for our kids, not equal or worse.
For anyone making diagrams for their company, even internal ones: If you color code lines connecting boxes, please include a legend so anyone who wasn't in that one meeting six months ago where it was discussed knows what the colors are for. Thanks.
Pushing back on (usually unthinking) abelist / racist / misogynistic language is difficult but frequently is worth the effort.

Here's why it worked for me.
I understood w/powers of social influence - I can initiate some things that ppl without that influence can. I made a choice to try & use my power of social influence to do better & use it to try to mediate differences between ppl who actually shared many core values/ethics but allowed shitass stereotypes & fear of genuinely communicating, to bridge differences.
If we have social influence powers - we should try to use that to better our worlds.

This chapter discusses oppression in its many forms, followed by how internalized oppression is perhaps the most insidious consequence of oppression, and a brief overview of internalized oppression as experienced by various groups. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers this a worldwide health concern, focusing primarily on physical health consequences. In the field of psychology, as in many other scientific disciplines, there has been a long-standing bias to look for factors within individuals to explain phenomena. In the case of heterosexism, heterosexuals deny access to resources based on the argument that nonheterosexuals are abnormal, deviant, pathological, and are abominations. There is no doubt that internalized oppression is a salient experience among various groups throughout the world, and empirical evidence is emerging to suggest that internalized oppression has immense negative mental and behavioral health consequences.
