Closed in protest of “Black Friday”

The Little Pink Tarot Store is closed this weekend in protest of “Black Friday”.

This ‘vacation’ – aka the largest promoting days of the 12 months – is considered one of capitalism’s most sacred festivals.

Capitalism is on the root of colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy and plenty of different techniques of oppression, relying on and intentionally creating inequality to operate.

Capitalism aggressively teaches us to disregard what our our bodies, hearts and souls know – find out how to really nourish ourselves and meet our personal and our communities’ wants. Capitalism teaches us that we’re damaged – and that purchasing issues will repair us.

Capitalism is outlined by ever-increasing development, which depends on ever growing consumption, which suggests convincing us of ever-increasing want/shortage/brokenness, so we purchase ever-increasing quantities of stuff, which find yourself in ever-increasing landfills, and off we go once more. There is no such thing as a endgame, no sufficient. Solely extra, and extra, and extra. You’ll be able to stuff COP26 and carbon offsetting and bamboo espresso cups… if we aren’t *truly ending capitalism* then that is the route of journey.

The additional we fall into the lie of consumption, the farther from our selves we transfer. The extra we purchase, the extra we undergo, so the extra we purchase once more. The extra we store, the much less we really feel. Few of us escape this conditioning. We’re drugged, herded like sheep to the checkout.

* Resist the Shopocalypse *

This weekend, as you might be bombarded with emails and adverts for ‘unbelievable offers’ (I imply sure, it does appear unbelievable what warehouse workers and couriers are subjected to to allow them…) – simply say no.

Each buy produced from Am*zon is a vote for a tradition with out content material and with out contentment.

Benefit from the void!
