My only purchase this week is paying the vet for a dental for my Poppy. She's a tiny thing and even with excellent care now needs to lose several teeth. Just for the record, for the next month I'll be purchasing only what's absolutely the necessary.
Please take note that Heather Cox Richardson has NOT endorsed the boycott (although she probably supports it) so her name should be redacted from the document that everyone keeps reposting. Her name was used without her permission!
Robyn ... now I am scrambling to find another info picture! I will try to edit it ... after I find one. I definitely won't do that again. Thank you for for letting me know. And I will acknowledge my error on my next post.
You're not alone! I've seen this document reposted at least 20 times. It's just a good reminder for everyone to confirm/research things before reposting, especially if it's being reposted a lot. (Heather says anything like that would come directly from her). The original creator was probably trying to gain traction by using her name, or (more nefariously) trying to make her a target for trolls/bots and right wing crazies.
So should we start calling him Muskcott? I no longer use Google Maps. You would think they would know the proper way to label maps even if they kiss ass with the Felon in Chief by renaming a body of water which he has no jurisdiction. Bodies of water are supposed to be italicized. I know. NERD. But I did notice that Mapquest did it correctly. Both in name and italics.
Definitely boycotting. Already re-discovered Mapquest. Have pared down my purchases so much already, aside from some major home and vehicle repairs that couldn’t wait. Trying to shop at stores that align with my values as well. Artichokes plants are started, now working on the tomatoes and some lettuce. Decided to try planting potatoes in a container this year as well. Most of my purchases have been food or garden stuff. Just did my first darning repair - easier than I thought!
I like your attention to using cash, or the "old school" checks. I've been using cash as much as possible, and checks when possible. Sometimes a credit card is necessary in our current economy. I'll tell anyone who listens it, that small businesses appreciate cash! They loose 3 to 5% with every credit card transactions.
Thanks! Did not know about the boycott or Google replacing Gulf of Mexico with Gulf of America. Deplorable ! I will change my maps too. DuckDuckGo will replace Google search which I loved too. Thanks for educating me!
Participating! And thanks always for your inspirational posts. I will be deleting my Google maps app. I rarely use it anyway, but it will now be gone from my screen!

I will be boycotting all week. I have been using more and more cash
Other than paying for eye surgery with a check, no buying for me this week!
Good luck with your surgery!
