Last week I checked in on a friend, someone who I thought would be one of the very last immigrants (who have any other options) to leave Germany, only to find that they and their family are already in the process of leaving. Their explicit reason: the rise of fascism. Very, very disturbing times.

Buy from small businesses
Buy from independent creators
Buy passion projects
Buy commissions
Buy art
In a society that's decided that money is final word, be aware of where yours goes and to support what
Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!
