tomorrow is buy nothing day

I put a banner up above the first post a week or so ago without explaining it at all. The rules are pretty simple -- because we are a voraciously materialistic society, abstain from buying anything on the busiest shopping day of the year to silently portest.

Or be like me and do your Christmas shopping early (I just finished tonight with an order from Amazon...books and music make the best gifts). ...I also spent too much time looking around T-Shirt Hell (especially the gang bang elves paper).
