Stuart J. WhitmoreI suggest that the best thing you can get for yourself on #Amazon #PrimeDay is freedom from excess consumption, avoidance of unnecessary debt (and future interest expense), and liberation from Amazon.
Feel the need to "buy something?" Buy pre-owned from a thrift store, secondhand bookstore, yard sale, or (if you must) eBay. At least you'll help extend the life of a product already manufactured.

RevDrMatthewFoxLet us recognize the value of #simpleliving, resisting the dominant cultural myth about #consumerism, the idolatry of money and the addiction to shopping, spending, acquiring and discarding to ākeep up with the Joneses.ā

quackademicThis is how civilisations collapse. Every part is connected. Where politicians fail to act to slow accelerating climate change & ameliorate its effects they do so by choice. In whose interests do our leaders govern?
Look at our billionaire-owned news media, the other outlets in thrall to them (like the guardian) & at the stories being promoted through the socials. Itās all clickbait distraction. Those who see their profit as dependent on accelerating plunder want us to be distracted. They want us to lose our capacity for critical thinking & analysis. Where we see the patterns, they want us to despair.
Itās all going well, for them.
We donāt have to fall for it. We need each other.

SaharI feel sorry for many Americans. In a culture obsessed with consumption, branding, and constant self-promotion, people are taught to mistake appearances for meaning and wealth for fulfillment. A society may have skyscrapers, technology, and endless entertainment, but without depth, roots, and a sense of purpose, prosperity becomes nothing more than a polished display.

Ashwin DixitI'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones Christ used to know,
two millennia ago, in Judea,
where the reindeer played in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
let's go chop down some pine trees,
light 'em up bright, with electricity,
to please our long dead deity,
while the world heats up, three degrees.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
because the season is fantastic,
to buy gifts made of plastic,
to fill landfills, and the sea.
Let's go on a shopping spree!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with all the third world girls and boys,
who wish for treats & toys,
and are told, that shit ain't free,
so don't milk our sentimentality.
I'm screaming about a white Christmas,
because it should be plain to see,
it's just a feelgood fantasy,
to push consumption, and white supremacy.

Bich Nguyen"Then something shifts. I stop analyzing. And with each passing minute, I fall deeper into fascination. The screams of the audience are electric, the joy contagious. Never have I been to a show of this scale where I see another Asian person in every direction I look. Thereās a distinct sense of camaraderie and collectivism, a feeling of community anchored by a shared passion."
