Whenever I mention that boycotting is a privilege, I inevitably get people trying to explain how wrong I am.

How “easy” it is to find alternatives.

How “important” it is not to support big businesses like Amazon.

How “lazy” it is not to shop local.

They talk over me, condescend and accuse me of not fighting for the cause.

Disabled people need your support and solidarity.

We’re all in this fight together.

When we tell you something is inaccessible, believe us.

Most of us already feel guilty we can’t do more, but there’s many things that aren’t “easy” for us.

Survival is resistance. It’s not “lazy” to utilize a service that will keep you alive.

Fight the fascists. Not one another.

It’s really lovely to hear you say this. What a simple gesture that anyone can make that has a huge impact for those who need it most.

I once saw a sticker on the streets with this passage, which aligns with your sentiment. I made a graphic of it because that’s how my family rolls, and I’d love to think more people every day are doing the same thing.

This is the heartwarming moment we need right now:

11-year-old Danish kid Jens Fogh made Easter decorations and sold them, thereby raising USD 5300 which he used to buy 270 school backpacks for Ukrainian children. So while in Denmark, Zelenskyy presented him with a medal for his friendship.

A hero meets a hero — I love it! ♥️
