'Tis the Season to Stay Sane & Smash Colonial Patriarchy
I love reading gift guides, and I love making them. And yet.
I have serious misgivings about holiday excess, handing our money to large retailers who don't give back to our communities, and the corporate pillaging of the poor, working, and middle classes.
And that's just the money. All of this is tied up in colonialism, in white supremacy, in sexism and ableism, and so many others to count or name them would quickly become a list of "and," "and," and "and."
So, this list is social justice minded. The process was so much harder than I expected it to be. I had hoped to finish this last week. Instead, it took me over a week of persistent work.
Please use it. Please forward it to folks you think might want to use it. Please post it to your social media.
Since it took so much effort to put together, I'd really like this resource to be used.
