One of the things that has never been clear is exactly when this boycott is happening. I’m GMT-10. Is it happening from midnight to midnight Hawaiian Standard Time? Eastern Standard Time? What if you live in Bangkok? This oversight is annoying IMNSHO. Still, I’m honoring the boycott in my time zone.

I think it is U.S.-centric by design, since it involves the U.S. regime. Nobody is going to complain about your support no matter how you offer it, though. Simply commenting on a post is great support. Everything helps. Thanks.

I’m calling a Do-nothing day and the timing is perfect. Although apparently something horrible is currently going on with He who shall not be named, his sidekick PantsOnFire Vance and President Zelenskyy. I wish I could reach through time and space and incinerate certain individuals with a flamethrower. I’m a Bad Buddhist. Cannot wish that “all beings be happy.” Some beings should roast eternally on a spit.

I didn't shop or use my credit card. I did use the internet, and I think that's a next step. An Internet Blackout. That will be a hard one for people, so maybe it's not possible until things get even bleaker.

Yes, as I work online, so it would be difficult, not saying impossible, but difficult.

Nope. She's done. Up and quit.

So there are people for whom *not* shopping for ONE DAY is a big deal? A sign of resistance? Weird.

It's called a protest. Baby steps. You're either for the regime, or against it. It isn't weird to be against it, is it? IS IT?

But if I wasn’t planning on shopping on that—or any other—day, anyway, does that make me “for” it?

Why does this bother you so much? People want to protest the regime. They found a small way to do it. What’s the issue?

But in direct answer to your question, of course not.
