Black Buy-Day

Just a friendly reminder: Friday is Buy Nothing Day. I don't expect most people to participate, but you should just keep in mind that our lives don't have to be defined by the things we accumulate during them. The X-Mas season has been getting longer and longer and more and more disgustingly commercial, and participating in Buy Nothing Day is a good way to make a small stand against the marketing of emotion and the replacement of love with money. At least that's how I see it, you may disagree.

And yes, BND is sponsored by Adbusters and the like, but even if you dislike the organization you don't have to dislike the idea.
