not to be mistaken for toxic positivity again but my god you need to learn to love the oppressed more than you hate their oppressors or else you are just delighting in feeling righteous while leaving those in need out in the cold

We need to start talking more about Congo (DRC). I literally never see posts about it anymore.

Remember to:

Avoid buying new tech if you can

Try to buy refurbished if you absolutely need to replace something

Boycott vapes if you haven’t already

Hold tech companies accountable for this

[librarycards]

here (and this is only from a cursory search) is what tech overconsumption is fueling:

Apple accused by DR Congo of using conflict minerals

The tech giant says it "strongly disputes" the claims and it is "deeply committed to responsible sourcing" of minerals.

Humanitarian Crisis in Congo Is the Sinister Underbelly of “Green Tech”

The “green tech” industry is reproducing the same colonial and extractive patterns that got us to the climate crisis.

in case you needed to hear it today:

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re changing lanes

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re taking an exit

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you plan on turning (can even be done sooner than 2 seconds before you’re about to turn)

you have a turn signal. in your vehicle. two of them in fact.

you are so brave and beautiful and smart and can do it. using your turn signal

For anyone confused about why this "sweet ad" is actually evil:

ring is passing the surveillance they collect to ice

ring is using these ID features to search for/identify people that ice wants to deport/kidnap/disappear, & using it to spy on Americans in general.

This ad is the company's gross & sneaky attempt to appeal to humans' kindness [ I'll be helping people find their pets!" ]

They are trying to trick more people into buying this tool that will be used as surveillance on people living in the USA

AND~!!!

also probably trying to trick people into turning on features/settings that will make it easier for them to pass information to ice and other hostile governmental authorities
