::Whew:: Busy BUSY day today, House cleaned, dishes done, and all my meals for the next week cooked. Gonna be eating good this week. I think....
Got some work to do in the morning. One of the two jobs I have right now. Not really jobs. More like "tasks."
Life is getting busy these days. Hopes that means things are picking up job-wise....
Aparrently this was a very limited time offer in VRChat. I would absolutely love a Bridget avatar for Resonite....
Sorry about the X link, it's the only place that has video of her.
Idea for a start-up: "Theirs" & "Theirs" lilac towels. 🤔
I'm gonna make millions. 😏
No, I'm not going to google it. Too busy thinking on more important things like what I'm naming the company, pricing and influencer sponsorships.
Hadn't thought about this Sesame Street short in decades. "I'm crowded, roll over" just popped up in my head last night, and I needed to find the rest of the song....
LB: I blame two things for this.
One is the huge conservative backlash to corporations putting a pride spin on anything.
Secondly, I think they saw a lot of the "this is just performative" complaints (which it totally is), and decided "well, you don't want this, and it's a problem from the conservatives, why bother?"
I'm actually someone who wants to encourage the Pride stuff, even if it's performative. To me, it means that we're accepted enough to be pandered to like they pander to pretty much anyone else. We're now safe enough to sell to.
Is it just me or does it actually seem like corporations are afraid to do a Rainbow Capitalism this year?
Maybe it's just because Pride started on a Saturday, but I'm noticing far fewer featured pride product lines, sales, etc. than the past several years. Last year, Target started to retreat and hide away Pride merch or just take it out of their stores altogether in some places. But other companies that would usually do a little email announcing the sale of Pride merch or something are either not doing it or are actually making it hard to find and featuring other sales instead.
Maybe it's too early and they are planning it over the next few weeks...it just seems conspicuous. I'm gonna circle back around to this after the month goes on because this could actually be an important thermometer on the state of things in some circles
