Don’t take the bait

Have you heard of LuLaRoe? My introduction to LuLaRoe clothing was seeing it at thrift stores. My first reaction was YUCK, ugly as fuck. I don’t like clothing with prints and this is what LuLaRoe is known for, prints and some gawd awful ones. They’re also known for comfortable clothing and leggings. This meme says it all. 

LuLaRoe is a multi-level-marketing company. “As a multi-level marketing company, LuLaRoe recruits independent distributors (referred to by the firm as "fashion consultants")[5] to sell products directly, often through social media.[2]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuLaRoe

LuLaRoe left a wake of women who went bankrupt or suffered significant monetary loss as LuLaRoe “consultants.” The company faces a multitude of lawsuits. In short, LuLaRoe is a pyramid scheme and their clothing is not made well and the fabric is subpar. The clothing will end up in a landfill. LuLaRoe sucks. Don’t buy this shit, stop any of your friends from being LuLaRoe consultants. Don't support it, don't take the bait, run away.

Anti-fascists sounded the warning, did anyone listen?

Antifa has become the “Big bad bogeyman” by those on the political right. I don’t think they understand or know what Antifa is. Antifa is short for anti-fascist and is a political movement, not an organization.

A virtual visit to George Floyd’s Square, Minneapolis

Minnesota Public Radio interviewed Jay Webb, 'This circle is about healing’: Gardener sees himself as caretaker of the energy at George Floyd’s Square.  

Webb thinks this place has had a positive impact on more than just this corner of the city. He said it's become a place of community action and healing, which is having a ripple effect on the world with demonstrations and safe spaces popping up everywhere you can think of.

Photos from my visit to George Floyd’s Square this summer. It was a profound and healing experience.
