#03: I Woulda Been the Soup

Since I know you're still making your way through all your International Women's Day longread bookmarks, why not add this rambling, tipsy interview with Caitlin Moran in GQ. Is she popular in the States yet? Let's try to make that happen. 

Despite the fact that this article starts with the words, "As a sustainable lifestyle blogger...," this is actually a great take on the how we miss the mark on conscious consumerism. There's also some wide applicability to what moves the needle in terms of activism in general.

I recently watched the douchiest documentary ever on minimalism, which got me thinking about the principles of conspicuous consumption, which when you think about it sounds an awful lot like conscious consumerism, doesn't it. What's the difference? Third and fourth Marie Kondo references this way, on the privelege of clutter and an outstanding case against The Oppressive Gospel of Minimalism.

"I woulda been the soup." Let this Tiny Desk Concert with Tank and the Bangas make your day, your week, your life.
