While you are out and about, stop by your local (!) bookstore and buy something. Not a big-chain bookstore, a local one. This is a great weekend to buy local, and specifically to buy from local bookstores. It’s also the weekend Amazon has chosen to put books on sale … because Amazon. So go in, shop around, buy something, snap a photo of your brilliant purchase, and post it on Social Media as a not-Amazon purchase!
Also, as long as you are not-buying from big stores, take a little time to stop by your local Target. Target sales have dropped 11% overall, they tell us. I hear the aisles are also empty of people. If you stop in, snap a photo of those aisles with no one in them — and then leave. Post that photo on Social Media to show the power of not-shopping!
I hate to reduce our power to our purse.
But sometimes, that’s all we have to get the ears of oligarchs. If there are places you are not-shopping, and you think a photo will help (Tesla value has dropped 71%, so feel free to snap photos of you peacefully protesting!) share those photos and ideas here.
A couple of additional ideas for the weekend.
