If corporations bankroll authoritarianism, they don’t get our dollars.
Let’s organize a Spending Strike—pausing non-essential spending to hit Trump’s corporate and oligarch backers where it hurts.
Economic pressure is peaceful.
Silence is expensive.

Let’s call for a Spending Strike—a pause on discretionary spending—to pressure the corporations and oligarchs propping up Trumpism.
No shopping. No upgrades. No extras.
Our money funds democracy—or it doesn’t move.

I was greatly tempted a few times on Black Friday to purchase something. I managed to resist all temptation and hold my water.

Fuck these tariffs y’all. #SpendingStrike

My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is a bit ironic. We get fish heads and frames from the cleaning table at the boat ramp and slow cook them using solar power, with rice and garden veg to feed our dog. This weekend it was a huge Spanish Mackeral, a fortnight's food for her, and not enough […]
I went to my first protest in 1970. I was 8 years old. Someone gave me a hand drawn protest sign of my own, based on this famous image from 1966. I've been protesting shit my entire life. When do I get to stop?
Don't answer that. I already know. It's NEVER.

My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is about what we in Australia call "mates rates". It means, you know someone who can do the job or lend you the tools, give you advice, teach you how to do it, for cash or barter or 'you owe me one' or even 'what goes around comes around'. I'm bad at it - […]
The Mad King non-essentials #spendingstrike starts Jan 20. Every dollar spent anywhere will be propping up an authoritarian economy.
If you find that problematic, I encourage you to do what you can to reduce your spending as much as you can. Cost reduction brainstorming/crowdsourcing below ⬇️
Hills hoist (Australian brand) rotary clothes line, with laundry pegged up on it with stainless steel pegs. A yellow clothes basket sits on the grass under it.
My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is about line drying clothes. A friend tells me that in US this was just not done, would draw complaints from neighbours when she lived in US 30 years ago. Is this still so? I love the smell of line dried sheets, and sun […]

Today's #SpendingStrike #OptOut post - Guerilla gardening. We have a wide stormwater easement & a side lane next to little suburban block. I pot up things that are easy & free to propagate - seeds (eg avocados, mangoes, tamarind, coffee), cuttings […]

Today's #SpendingStrike #OptOut post - I've been thinking about mastodon.social/@MelissaBenyon@climateju... 's post about repair culture. The only "thing" I've seen for ages that I'd love to buy is the MNT Reform Next laptop. I can't justify it - the computer I'm writing this […]
Today's #SpendingStrike #OptOut thought is about is about the irony of spending money to save the work of homemade, when the work is actually the fun and joy and point. I was thinking about knitting a dishcloth, and how foolish that would feel when disposible dishcloths cost next to nothing […]
My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is, I bought a new (to me) black Tshirt this week. Kmart etc have such cheap Tshirts, $3. How do they make them for that? It's wrong! But, it does make you feel silly op shopping for Tshirts. Till you find a Dannii Minogue, beautifully soft, all cotton […]
My #OptOut #SpendingStrike post today is a solid agreement with @MelissaBenyon's post. A few pots of herbs makes a difference way out of proportion to the effort they take, in money saved, delicious meals, nutrition, ability to magic dinner for a multitude out of a near empty pantry, or to […]
A little aluminium teapot on a table.
Joining @MelissaB in #OptOut #SpendingStrike actions - tiny, no cost, no pain ways to starve the corporate system. Mine today is a teapot. This is my favourite, found in an op shop over a decade ago, and used it every day since. It's a kind that used to be […]
