#i feel so disoriented rn bc i’ve stopped buying upwards of 65% the shit i used to and ppl are out here recommending cerave

Opening a post of someone on here asking for skincare recs and seeing every single one suggested either fall under “company that directly states their support for israel” or “company that does business with israel” was very jarring, are you guys seriously limiting yourselves to the bds list and “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” excusing yourself for every other thing you buy? Like the bds list is the bare MINIMUM. You’re bare minimum-ing your support for divesting from an apartheid state & limiting your financial impact for the continuation of the genocide against Palestinians? Your skincare routine is not more important than other people’s literal lives.

#x #like are you serious. #ok . i have to get that post about covid mitigations together but i’ll start posting about additional boycotts on here more as well. #i have a spreadsheet i’m working on that is more comprehensive than the barcode scanner apps (which are often wrong) #i feel so disoriented rn bc i’ve stopped buying upwards of 65% the shit i used to and ppl are out here recommending cerave #we are. not on the same page here lol #i’ll try to make the info more accessible #but for example. lush claims to be neutral but the olive oil in their products is sourced in part from israel. they make sure to mention #that it's sourced by a female run nonprofit cooperative between israelis and palestinians and how the org is a beautiful symbol for peace #but the “nonprofit” in question is israeli run. and the profits go to the welcome center/visitor centre. which is a pitstop on birthright #tours. where they push propaganda about how palestinians are treated. so by supporting lush you are directly supporting that programming #you CANNOT be neutral about a settler colonial apartheid occupation state put that fucking idea in the gutter!!! #do you think sindyanna effectively utilizes girl power by funneling your money into genocidal apartheid propaganda?
