Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.

[video description:

a person sitting at a table is talking into the camera.

"i have nothing to hide... which is a shame, because i love hiding stuff! i love making or buying secret hiding spaces."

they pick up a leather wrapped book.

"so like, i love hollowing out books. and you now, people- you could say, well probably you would hide drugs in there. well, i don't do drugs"

they open the book to reveal a green pill bottle hidden in a cut out space in the pages

"but i do take flonase for my seasonal allergies, so i put those in this one, because it kinda feels like taking drugs. but my whole apartment is filled with stuff like this."

the camera cuts to the view of a permanent maker on a table.

"like this perfectly normal permanent marker."

they take off the cap of the marker, and put it back on.

"well, it's actually hollow and on the inside is..."

they take off the back of the marker to reveal a small pink marker inside.

"a smaller permanent marker!"

the camera cuts to a bookshelf. they remove a book from the shelf.

"now this obviously is a copy of inside baseball, which is a perfect place, i figured out to hide-"

they open the book to reveal a miniature baseball in a cut out space in the pages.

"-my tiny baseball"

the camera cuts to a storage shelf. they retrieve a giant bolt from the shelf.

"this is a normal looking giant bolt that i just keep in my closet."

the camera cuts to a close-up of the bolt. they are screwing off a part of the bolt.

"you can screw off the bottom, and you can fit a tiny vial in there, which is perfect for..."

they tip the bolt over and a small vial containing white pills falls out.

"-that's my claritin. that's my other allergy medicine."

the camera cuts to a framed print of the great wave painting.

"there is nothing cooler than a wall save behind framed art. and i'm not allowed to poke holes into my wall, because it's a rental."

they move the painting to the side to reveal a wall safe behind it.

"but this is a picture of a wall safe! which is almost as good."

they fiddle with the wall safe, demonstrating that it is just a cut out picture pasted to the wall.

"since i wouldn't have anything to put in the wall safe anyway!"

the camera cuts to a fridge, just as the door is being opened.

"in the fridge i've got a totally normal looking doctor pepper."

they retrieve a can of doctor pepper from the fridge. the camera cuts to a close-up of the can.

"but of course the top screws off, and inside that is my benadryl! or bennies."

they screw open the top of the can and shake some pink pills from the can into the palm of their hand.

"these are for my night time allergies!"

the camera cuts to the boot of a car that is being opened.

"back of my car"

the camera cuts to a bin in the boot of the car. they remove a can of tire foam from the bin.

"looks like tire foam."

they unscrew the bottom of the can and pull out a yellow pill bottle.

"this is where i store my dramamine! which is kinda like i'm allergic to motion too!"

the camera cuts to four copies of shakespeare plays next to each other on a bookshelf.

"and this looks like it's just four shakespeare b-sides together, but if you pull out the bottom-"

they remove all four books at once and turn them over to reveal a hole that is cut through all four books, containing a can, which they pull out.

"there is actually a can of peaches"

they flip over the can to reveal a handle at the bottom

"but the can of peaches is fake, and inside is a rock!"

they open the fake bottom and retrieve a rock from the can.

"but that rock is fake"

they turn the rock over and slide off a cover to reveal a key.

"it's a hide-a-key! and that key-"

they remove a dictionary from the bookshelf.

"is perfect for opening the dictionary!"

they open the dictionary to reveal a keyhole.

"which is secretly a metal safe. and inside that i put-"

they unlock and open the safe to reveal several filled ziplock bags, removing one after another.

"the doctor pepper! and the tire foam! and the pages from the shakespeare books! and the peaches!"

they hold up the ziplock bag of peach slices to the camera.

"which i am allergic to."

Everyone going shopping on Black Friday, be aware of three things:

The retail workers are working 12 hours shifts. We are threatened with losing our jobs if we don’t show up unless we’re dying in the hospital. I had an assistant manager show up with fucking strep because he would’ve been fired otherwise. Yes, he did infect 7 and hospitalize 2 coworkers; who knows how many members of the public he infected.

The stores have, maybe, 5 of that special cheap thing you’re after. Corporate does this on purpose, and stores are not allowed to order enough. The prices aren’t even that much lower. They lie about how expensive something is to fool you into thinking you’re getting a discount. You aren’t.

Most of the workers you will come across will be new hires for the sole purpose of being bodies for about three months before they’re fired. They actually don’t know anything because they’ve been working there for maybe two weeks, and have had no real training. I was once hired at Staples a week before Black Friday and expected to know how to deal with phones, coupons, the online ordering site, and AS400 after five 6-hour shifts. This is the kind of person you will likely be dealing with at Black Friday.

Do me and my retail family a favor and don’t shop Black Friday. Any company that needs a sale day like Black Friday to get their sales out of the red doesn’t deserve to be in business. 

This also goes for anyone that works shipment too. We’re suddenly expected to stay as late as they want you to even if they know you don’t have a car and rely on a ride to get you to and from work and know you can’t stay late. Shipment workers will suddenly start getting berated for not getting things done and it is by far the most stressful time to be a shipment worker for any store. Especially when they throw in new hires that don’t know how to process things and are expected to work at the same pace as the people that have worked there for a while.

Retail is shit around the holidays, especially Black Friday

REI (outdoor retailer) has been actively trying to kill Black Friday by closing all of their stores, warehouses, and website sales on Thanksgiving and Black Friday and giving all (yes, all) of their employees paid days off to “opt outside.” Maybe consider supporting them and other brands that do the same, in addition to local independent retailers!
