Boycott Fatigue

Tired of endless boycotts? Rank the places you shop from best to never, based on your own personal priorities. Shop as high on the list as you can. Start at the best place that might have what you want, and work down. Nobody can avoid all the bad companies, all the time. Do the best you can.

Commission art
