"none of us can cancel everything but everyone can cancel something" is the heart of this. Sometimes it feels like folks on here are more interested in yelling at each other over the ways we're all struggling to navigate this system instead of figuring out what parts we can do.

None of us can cancel everything. But all of us can cancel SOMETHING. One eminently practical suggestion: Does your family have more than one Amazon Prime account? You absolutely don't need more than one! Cancel one of those tonight!

I'm also gonna be brutally honest: I spent a few months linking to Amazon wishlists because it was the fastest way to get relief to people, but we ALWAYS OFFERED ALTERNATIVES. Of the people who yelled at me about it? Like 5% took advantage of the alternative when it was pointed out to them. Maybe.

If your entire organizing strategy is being performatively superior to people on the internet but not actully doing anything else? You're not helping. At least go write up a guide to easily canceling Microsoft 360 of something. 😂

(BTW lots of people DID take advantage of the alternatives and we went out of our way to try to find ways to get our stuff away from amazon. But all the awesome people doing that? Were not yelling at me. lol zero overlap)
