You crazy anti-capitalists. Take that, corpos!

So rebellion is doing what feels good instead of killing our souls? I totally get that.

Do the opposite of what the crowd does, and the crowd is doing things that make them miserable— and eating the sausage.

Another thing I got out of this one: The bullshit going on in the world right now is an amazing personal growth opportunity.

Damn, can I hire you to find points to all my rants? 🤣 It really blows my mind that doing shit that’s right for you is rebellion but if that’s what it is than less trust-fall into that shit! Thanks a ton for hanging out and spreading truths in the food industry. We’re gonna hit them at every angle and it’s gonna be soooo freeing.

Loved this! I knew there was a movement coming about leaving Bullshit Meta platforms! I said this to my boyfriend and he laughed at me (dick! 🤣) but I KNEW IT!! 🎉

This makes me so happy and Dre... I totally agree, we can do our little bit and no ONE person needs to have the burden of feeling like they need to change the world.. we can send out the ripples (that was the bit the boyfriend laughed at me for 🙄). But I really do believe these little things we do/say make a difference - It has to start somewhere right?!

Oh, also I just joined a Substack called "Writing Off Meta" created by some kick ass women in Australia - Maybe take a look 👍x https://writingoffmeta.substack.com/

Exactly!!! It has to start some where and I want to have the permission to be that starting place.

Fuck your BF. Don’t let ANYONE talk you outta your instincts. Just because we don’t have proof (yet) doesn’t mean it’s not dead fucking true! If you need a reminder, you know where to find me. 🫶

And THANKS for the recommendation! I’ll definitely check them out. I love this social media expat thing happening on here. 🥳

I have tried to follow so many we’re-starting-something-heres that I lost count but I learnt a lot along the way…

YOU have the… I get it, I need help, and this isn’t about kumbaya bullshit!

It always ends up being about feeding the persons EGO as they try to become… THE ONE… or fuckin KUMBAYAing any holding hands IS the answer.

B.S. we need a realist ready to slap people across the face with with best of intentions, because most of us NEED IT!

I've got my wooden spoon ready, and it doused in love. I don't know that everyone's gonna like it, but I won't stop calling this shit out and finding a more fun, feel-good way. I'm done being silenced. I'm done following the leaders. For me, the more feral, the better.

This was great!

Super validating for those of us whose souls CAN NOT do “fear-based marketing” and a dose of inspiration to keep getting out there with integrity!

I keep missing these lives. Good thing I can catch them later. I love, love, love this topic. It’s such a moonwalking outta the room with a middle finger in the air to the fucked up way we’ve been marketing and doing things - business wise. Like why can’t we do things in a way that feels good and make money and help people and support our families? We can and I love that you’re showing the world how!! Dre, you’re my spirit animal. 🤣
