A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Boycott Target. They were one of the first companies to fold to the Trump regime.
Well, I'd say they were the first whose kneeling under the lash was highly publicized. Many other much worse companies actively promoted the whole regime and its maggot-riddled leaders from the start. Yes, Target was only paying rainbow lip service, and withdrew it when they realized they wouldn't cash in. And yes the community service they do is a way of advertising themselves. I won't argue for you not to boycott them, but I'm not going to give any shit to the people who rely on them for basic goods, especially in areas with only worse alternatives.
well a lot of times the alternative is walmart to.
To your point, although maybe not the way you intended, Target was first and now they are (for better or worse) a symbol of capitulation to fascists. Therefore there is a lot of value in continuing to boycott them; if we can make an example of Target, other capitalists will think twice before betraying their customers.
