perfume brands i'm choosing not to support

i know this is my specific niche, so i don't know how many people will find this useful, but i wanted to compile a list of perfume/fragrance brands that support israel that i personally have decided not to use. for most, they're owned by a pro israel company, so i'll group them to make this easier to read

note: some brands listed under major companies are partnered with the larger company in question, i just say "owned by" as a catchall

feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on any of this, i'll update it if i need to add or remove anything

Brands owned by Estee Lauder Aerin  Aramis Clinique Jo Malone  Kilian Le Labo Tom Ford Michael Kors Coach Cosmetics

Anything owned by LVMH Dior Guerlain Givenchy Loewe Marc Jacobs Kenzo Parfums Maison Francis Kurkdjian Yves Saint Laurent Bvlgari DKNY Louis Vuitton

Anything owned by L’Oreal (as seen on the subsection of L’Oreals website, L’Oreal Luxe)  Diesel Fragrances Giorgio Armani Valentino Beauty Mugler  Maison Margiela Fragrances Lancome Ralph Lauren Cacharel Prada YSL

Various other brands Bath and Body Works Zara BDK (for the life of me cannot find any source talking about this, but here's a screenshot of what the owner has to say) Chanel

truth be told, a lot of these brands have really good dupes for a ton of their most popular fragrances. i wouldn't even bother going secondhand for their products, but that's just my personal opinion on what i'd be willing to buy. instead, i recommend brands like kayali perfumes who are vocally pro palestine. imo being silent is not really enough, but that's because perfume is a luxury for me and i'd rather spend my money on brands i feel comfortable supporting. anyways, once again, please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on any of these or if i missed any

There were several years after the images of Abu Ghraib were released that I couldn't look at a malinois without feeling nauseous. The USA military used their dogs for torture. Not intimidation, not defense, not capture. The state trained dogs for violence and then they set them loose on people they'd imprisoned who had no way of fighting back.

A lot of discussions surrounding the use of sharp K-9s focus on their lack of control. A K-9 can have the best training and control on the planet and it will still maul an unarmed black teenager if its handler asks it to.

When being mauled by an animal, it is human nature to lash out. The experience is violent and frightening. In the eyes of UK legislators, our own basic instincts are criminal behavior.

Finn's law is a message: your life is worth less than that of a dog. If the state wants to hurt you, lie down and take it.

My mom lives in an HOA.

My whole family is Disabled and a few of us are also OG gothy/alt people. My mom was also very poor at the time; we were all living below our means.

Because of our disabilities and our vulnerability due to trauma, drug traffickers took over our house two years ago.

We have lived there almost two decades, but those events along with our social differences caused the entire neighborhood to turn against us. The HOA paid the police department to arrest my Disabled, elderly, already injured mother in front of the entire neighborhood and to throw her in jail, leaving her two Disabled and dependent daughters alone at home who were not safe alone in the house at the time.

They threw my mom in a correctional facility where she contracted scabies all over her arms, and had the progress of her recent spinal surgery undone because of being forced to sleep on a concrete bed.

The police and our neighbors would not help us with the abuse from the traffickers, they only put the blame on us and assumed we were involved because of our social differences.

No matter how snobby, classist, vile, fascist, and totalitarian you think HOAs might be in your imagination... they are truly so much worse than that.

(⚠️spit warning in photo⚠️)

(image description: photo of a ripped up neighborhood flyer for a community holiday party. part of it claims "we are really a fun community" and i scribbled out "fun" and wrote "shitty, fascist, ableist, racist, bootlicker." there is also a clear splash of spit in the center of the paper -- my own spit, not a neighbor's, surprisingly)

youre telling me an ass is at fault here

if someone wears a mask all the time in public except to eat or drink. maybe dont stare at them when they have it off. maybe dont tell them they shouldnt be ashamed of their face and its pretty and beautiful. maybe especially don't do that if they've told you before that they know they have a nice face but they dont like it on them.
