- If you wishcycle[2], your bicycling-instead-of-driving is canceled out.
- If you have a Spotify plan, your posts in support of small or indie artists are canceled out.
- If you shop on amazon, your critique of just about any -ism is canceled out.
PS: Why are people wearing chin masks? Outdoors, walking alone, not talking on the phone, with a mask on his chin only… Is it to protect shaving cuts?
[1] As a reminder:
If you leave your dog poop on the African American church’s yard (the one with the “Be a good neighbor. Pick up after your dog.” signs), your BLM sticker is canceled out.
If you park your electric vehicle squarely in or diagonally across the bike lane (taking up a parking space, the bike lane, and part of the right lane), your environmental karma is canceled out. (The diagonal version has become more common in Capitol Hill this fall. People are quitting the parallel-parking process halfway through.)
[2] Both in the five apartment buildings I’ve lived in in Seattle and in all the buildings I visit on campus, people are putting these two items in the recycling bins far too often: plastic bags (classic wishcycling) and burritos (what the…). Congratulations, you’ve ruined another batch. (And a batch is the size of a semi trailer.)
