Hi Guys... Remember When I Was Crying For Money... Yeah, My School Didn’t Certify My Loan And Now I

This needs to be said… white people always try to use MLK to shut down BLM or any thing retaining to the black Community . They only choose what part of Dr. Martin Luther King they want to use and they forget the rest of the history they came behind his struggle

AND a race one since the most affected regions will be Africa, Asia and Oceania

Change is made by the Left. Sorry. There's no such thing as incremental change either. Every instance centrists and liberals take for granted, was hard fought for by the left, the labour movement, activists fighting for tooth and nail, sometimes dying for them.

Normal Person: ?????? but isn’t that a marvel character? 

Dancing around your room to music in the middle of the night is the ultimate form of self care

No, but seriously, do not buy "folklore" items from big stores like IKEA. If you want traditional items from any culture, you should support the craftspeople of said culture. IKEA will stop producing these things once it is no longer fashionable with folklore. They also don't use traditional crafting methods in their production, which means that when they force local craftspeople out if business, a lot of knowledge is lost. Crafts are learned by practice rather than theory, and it is very hard to revive them once they have fallen out of practice.

Craftspeople tend to source their materials locally, and both the materials and the final products are of a higher quality than the cheap knockoffs from big brands. Locally sourced materials are usually more environmentally friendly.

Yes, it is expensive to buy handcrafted items. But that is actually not a bad thing. Because it means that a skilled craftsperson can pay their bills and provide for their family. It also means that they can keep their tradition alive.

Hot take: Some things aren't supposed to be affordable. The reason why many traditionally crafted items are so expensive is that it takes so_much_time to make them. They weren't commercially produced for most of their existence. Regular people crafted in their spare time, and they put a lot of effort into it. This resulted in beautiful objects for little to no money.

But today, the crafting tradition is kept alive by a limited number of people who do this for a living. Which means that they will charge you for the countless work hours spent on your order.

If you can't afford to buy stuff from a craftsperson, make it yourself. Most of our traditional folklore decorations can be made with very basic tools, if only you have the time and patience for it.

Note: you need to make sure that the tradition is open before you do this!! DO NOT craft folkloric items from other cultures for commercial purposes.

Buying second hand/vintage/antiques is a good option for less crafty people.

tl;dr Big brands exploit traditional crafts until they stop being profitable, and then leave them for dead. If you want a tradition to survive, you need to support the local craftspeople.

Because Evan, you came in here the other day and said you thought it would have been better if you had been shot.

You act like you’re expendable, but you’re wrong.
