Please don’t “buy nothing” as many artists and crafters are part of the resistance, barely scraping by, and already invested in and paid hundreds for craft markets on Black Friday and the weeks surrounding it. #buyhandmade #buyart #shopsmall #shophandmade #boycottcorpsonly

When you boycott this winter, please don't "buy nothing." Seek out art markets, craft fairs, & small shops on Black Friday & beyond. Artisans desperately need your support. Spread the word about where everyone can shop local, small, & handmade. #buyart #shophandmade #shopsmall #boycott #blackfriday
Text: This season, please: Shop Small, Shop Local, Shop Handmade. Picture: Anatomical heart hoop by Snapdragon Originals. www.snapdragonoriginals.etsy.com Winter graphic with text: ❤️ PLEASE SHARE! ❤️ While you boycott corps & big chains this winter, please seek out handmade markets, craft fairs, & small stores that stock local artists! Artisans desperately need your support, including on Black Friday . We pay high prices for holidaybooth spaces, months in advance, & if people don't show & don’t purchase, we can end up in the negative, which is catastrophic for our budgets (and hurts our hearts). We work long, unpaid days, often in the cold. We hurt our backs hauling our tents, weights, and tables. We often live on the economic edge due to our commitment to follow our passions and prioritize beauty, joy, connection, responsible making and selling... Know that everything an artisan makes by hand embodies and requires their heart, soul, time, physical labor, hope, and love. please help us now as you did during COVID. -Nina Shope www.snapdragonoriginals.etsy.com Snapdragon’s WINTER MARKET SEASON.

True Americans who respect our immigrant roots, uphold allied democracies worldwide, and reject federal gestapos are now the active rebellion. This nation is in DEEP DISTRESS. @ida-co.bsky.social #RESIST #REBEL #FightFascism #StandUp #July4 #RealPatriots #ProtectImmigrants
