girl help the content about palestine on tiktok is turning from actual journalism content and educational resources and organized ways to help to "boycott everything or you're a bad person and if you don't use a game filter that generates 0.00001 cent you're personally the problem"

Hey landlady, have you purchased cats' treats at the black Friday sale by Amazon?

[csny]

i have nothing against christmas music, other than the fact that i hate it, but hearing it in retail environments is like the most disgusting thing that we’ve normalized. just gets me thinking about the idea of holiday industry and how american culture has capitalized on holiday happiness out of callousness because they realized it can make horrifyingly unreal amounts of money. and we all know it but we don’t know the full scale of everything at play and where the profit goes. the store i work in made over $50,000 this black friday. meanwhile each employee made about $60 each that day. macys has a massive team working year round on their single thanksgiving parade and refuse to say how much money they spend on it. the entirety of their business relies on holiday sales. when i go into any business they are pumping out christmas music covers by artists i can’t even recognize. hundreds if not thousands of them. what’s the holiday music industry like???? surely it must be profitable or people wouldn’t be contributing to it. what can we do except not buy anything. please just don’t buy anything i can’t stand to watch christmas advertising getting bigger and bigger and bigger. and while im here, stop using amazon all year please. i stopped a few years ago and its astounding how easy it is now. surely we dont need all this stuff. surely we dont need it. literally before buying ANYTHING think for like an entire 24 hour period if you need or want it honestly

It sounds silly but I don’t really know the best way to buy books. My local bookstore shut down during covid. There aren’t any other bookstores nearby. What’s the best way to order books online so that I’m still supporting authors and other small book sellers…and not Amazon or whatever?

bookshop.org!

a percentage of every sale goes to small independent bookstores that don't have their own infrastructure for shipping and the like -- they have raised over 34 million $ for bookstores in their program!

Also: They are having a "Black Friday" sale right now!!!

GO SHOP!!!!!!!

WIBTA if I got my cousin a gift?

My family does a secret santa style gift exchange by age group. This year, someone made a group chat to put gift suggestions/wishlists in. Some people are more specific, some people drop their entire amazon wishlist, whatever. I gave two ideas for mine.

The cousin i got asked for a gift card or money. Hes been pulling away from the family for a while, and while I cant fully disagree and have been tempted myself, its a little frustrating when he shows up for the gift exchange and immediately leaves.

The other thing is that this cousin is spoiled af - hes got a nicer car than me, and I know that he gets all of his money from his dad. Kid has been materialistic and image-obsessed for years, but I also know how hard it is to be gay in the area he lives, so I cant really blame him from going full Arianna Grande Fan stereotype. Ive tried to talk to him over the years, try to be a supportive older cousin, but he wont engage with anyone, even when I’m trying to find common ground. Like the only conversation weve had in the last year was “i like your nails” “thanks”

He also took a while to respond to the group chat, and I ordered something on black friday for him (nail related) before he said he wanted money.

Im just torn. On one hand, I feel like money is a shitty, impersonal gift, and something he has plenty of. On the other hand, he made his wish clear. And on the third hand, I already placed the order and cant return due to the sales. Would it be an ah move to try to give him a gift that I think he would enjoy and that we could connect over if it means ignoring his request?

What are these acronyms?

You wanna know what (my) ADHD is like?

ADHD is deciding you want to work on one of your WIPs so you grab a coffee and head to the library because it’s a change of scenery and it’s quiet, but you already had your AirPods in when you got there, so you spend the first fifteen minutes making trying to find the song that sounds suspiciously similar to the one you’re already listening to before you actually start writing.

Everything is going smoothly and flowing well until you have to fact-check something and while you’re looking for the answer you stumble across a TikTok video you made (because you use TikTok for fact/accuracy checking) and then you start scrolling through other videos you have made and find one that did really well, basically a collection of pictures of your favorite actresses, so you decide to make an updated version and you start alternating between Pinterest, Instagram, and Google to find photos.

Trying to find the perfect photos takes way longer than you expect because you find photos you think would be useful for other projects and you are also having to make sure the photos you chose for this project are the best quality, and during that process, you realize the lighting that is coming through the window where you’re sitting is really good so you snap some selfies and then you go back to looking for photos but then you notice a wholesome interaction between who you assume is a father and a daughter and you just have to write about it and then you can go back to looking for pictures.

At some point, you start thinking about buying a camera because you’ve been wanting one for years so you do about five minutes of “research” (looking up “best cameras for beginners” on TikTok and then doing a quick google search) before adding a camera and a lens to your amazon cart, but then you look at the total and think “that’s a lot of money” so you look up when cameras go on sale because the only sale you can think of is Black Friday/Cyber Monday and it’s currently February and you find there is usually a sale in July/August so you set a reminder in your calendar and move the two items in your amazon cart to your wish list.

After all of that, you switch back to the story you were supposed to be working on and you realize it’s been over two and a half hours, you’ve written 100 words for your work in progress, written a 186-word account of the wholesome interaction you witnessed, got nowhere near finishing the TikTok video you were working on, your music has changed from sad piano playlist to the playlist you listen to when you want to feel like the badass main character, you talked yourself out of buying $600 worth of camera equipment, and you are about to poop your pants from finishing your Dunkin cold brew over an hour ago.

ADHD is also being unaware that you were so deep into the hyperfocus zone until you’re sitting in your car and you return to reality and you remember that other people are not just NPCs.

ADHD is also coming back to edit this because you realized no ADHD person is going to want to read that long of a paragraph (including me) 🤦‍♀️ It still big paragraphs but it’s a bit better now imo

I’m looking to buy a mechanical keyboard bc my current keyboard keeps getting stuck (?) in melee attack in warframe and honestly it might not even be my keyboard but the game.

But anyway it has gamer lights and it’s fucking annoying and I hate gamer lights. And I go on Amazon and a ton of mechanical keyboards have gamer lights no more we say enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only got this current one I have bc it was around black Friday and on sale

[rattyioli]

Saw somebody posting about the critter nation and another cage being on sale for Black Friday and thought I should post about Catios. For those of you who don't know I use Catios as rat cages, because they are honestly about the same if not cheaper than a critter nation and they are absolutely huge. These are some of the ones on Amazon, the first one being the model I have.

Hello, I remember your tablet giving up around chrismas or so, did you replaced it with the same model or have you upgraded it to a recent one?

Hi! Yeah my old tablet died about a year ago. I dropped it and the second mini USB was ripped from where it was attached (I did the same with the first USB 10 years ago... so no usable port left). My husband opened it to try and repair it but it was too damaged, so I replaced it with a very similar model!

Truth is I knew my old tablet, bought in 2009, was probably gonna give up at a time or another so some years ago I snatched another Wacom Intuos (A model 5 I think) from Amazon's black friday sale lol; A pretty good deal, that was sitting in its box waiting for its turn.

So yeah, even though I changed my tablet, I only used that spare one and did not go through the whole "should I buy something different" process. I still very much prefer no-screen tablet!

[selanpike]

I got more ponies!!!

Amazon had some pretty decent sales on some MLP stuff for Black Friday week, so I went ahead and used some of my birthday money on some ponies! I was supposed to get alicorn Sunny with my little 3 inch Pipp, but they gave me earth pony Sunny on accident. I don’t mind though, since the sticker pack I was supposed to get was going to be a G5 set, but I got this neat set from 2016 instead, so that’s cool! My second earth pony Sunny can just be for display someday, or maybe I’ll donate her or something. :) Either way, I am VERY excited!! I’ve wanted the style of the day ponies for a LONNNGG time, so I’m happy to have three of them! :>

Well props to MGA for doing the baseline minimum of decent customer service, I guess. I ordered some stuff during their Black Friday sale, and when the package arrived today I was very annoyed to find one of the items was incorrect (right brand, wrong doll). So I sent them a message through the site explaining my problem, and within ten minutes I got an emailed apology and assurance that they were sending a replacement free of charge, and that I could keep the other doll 'as a gift' for any inconvenience this may have caused. Genuinely surprised by the utter lack of BS and gaslighting. If only every retailer *cough*Amazon*cough* was this easy to deal with.

Oh, if anyone was wondering who they sent by mistake--

Not a bad doll by any means! Just not what I paid for. But now that she's here I think she'll fit in nicely with my other OMGs (she and Ace have a very similar color story).
