Splurge on a small treat for yourself. Resistance is exhausting and fascism is a grind. Buy tiny trinkets, wrap them in pretty paper, and open one after you engage in resistance!

On Valentines day, or any day dedicated to recognizing our love for each other, find a way to step outside commercialism into care. What causes are important to the person you’re celebrating? Center those values! Have dinner at an ethnic restaurant from a place they’ve always wanted to travel, or make a nice dinner at home and donate what you would have spent to their favorite charity.
During Black History Month, boost minority businesses with reviews and by talking about them. Ask for recommendations on social media, try out new places, then leave a review! Contribute to getting the word out about great minority-owned and local businesses.
