I realize that we all have to somehow take part in capitalism and a lot of things people can only get by going to big box, stores, or Amazon, but I always think it’s a big win for the planet and a loss for billionaires when influencers post less about consuming. I never actually want influencers to over consume and thereby influence others yo do the same. I’ll give credit where credit is due and I hope this is a trend that continues and that all the other shine people also stop pushing everyone to buy all the time. Little victories for the planet are little victories am I right? We need less fast fashion (instead let’s support local and small and NO s&t isn’t small) , more activism (or even some activism like speaking up for Sudan, DRC and Palestine, and trans kids) and less trips (local shops need influencers to give them business to drive business). When I see even small changes I HOPE they are moving to being more authentic (I won’t get my hopes up too much but you never know). Calling people out on snarks is the only way they can see what people think and it’s necessary to demand more from people on platforms.

They are called quickies. As much as people hate on S, I’m here to always point out awful things influencers do for the planet and their lack of helping those facing genocide, discrimination etc.

That being said, Bailey’s company does help people with uteruses have body autonomy (have donated to help people access abortion care) and the company also donates to LGBTQIA2S causes.

This was not something that people had to ask for, this was something she did from the start. Will I ever buy the products? No. Do I think Bailey is someone who actually cares? Yes. So kudos to her and her donating and making a difference in people’s lives.
