The QRCA's UX Special Interest Group is hosting @ethanmarcotte.com to talk about why you (yes, YOU) deserve a tech union on May 13th. www.qrca.org/events/Event...
There's no time like the present to think about the power of collective bargaining.

If you're in Vancouver and looking for a brick-and-mortar alternative to a big-box store, I recommend The Soap Dispensary (www.thesoapdispensary.com) in Mt Pleasant. Bring your own containers and fill them with pantry and cleaning supply staples.
Understance (understance.com) is a local Vancouver company selling bras, underwear, and pajamas committed to sustainability and ethical manufacturing. Good news! They're having an End-of-Season Sale. I just bought a bunch of bras for $15 each.
Etee (www.shopetee.com) stands for Everything Touches Everything Else. Sells all kinds of items to help you live a sustainable lifestyle. Toothbrushes, toothpaste tablets, body care, sponges, beeswax bags and wraps, detergents, etc.
Good Juju (hellogoodjuju.com) sells shampoo and conditioner bars, soap, and laundry detergent. I use their scalp care shampoo and conditioner and they are excellent. Leaves my hair soft, light, and shiny while keeping my flaking scalp under control.
Bonus - they use paper packaging, not plastic.
Happy Boycott Day! If you have to shop, shop small. If you have to spend, use cash or debit. If you have to bank, bank with a credit union. You don't have to give your money to billionaires.
It's also a great time to shop Canadian and sustainably. Here is a thread of some Canadian brands I enjoy:

Modern life is interesting. My cat's vet just emailed me a fecal scorecard. Didn't have that on my Bright Shiny Future Checklist.
