Break Your Page! :: Retail Therapy Guide 6/1/2024

Happy Pride!! Today in Beacon is the Queer Liberation March. Details below! Last Sunday was a pleasant day in the Hudson Valley. Plenty of people enjoyed it outside for Memorial Day. Splash Down opened, and all felt right. Upon returning from the Lazy River, ALBB read, watched, absorbed the news that Rafah (the Israeli designated "safe zone" in Palestine that 1.5 million people were seeking refuge in (BBC) and lived in tents) was burning. Children's heads were decapitated. Palestinian people pulled charred bodies to dignity of any sort. We posted some of the photos on the blog. Then ALBB had a talk with their 6 year old, where they both decided there were 2 Americas. Many people around the world were so shocked. The Internet broke. Some people shut down. Other people rose up. For the first time, many people posted their dissent with the genocide on Gaza by Israel, which you can learn more about on Tin Shingle's blog. Here at ALBB, we narrowed our focus. We no longer grappled with the pendulum swing of feeling badly about incorporating Palestine into Beacon content. We went all out sharing more information from world leaders and thoughts from regular people in order to help stop this mass homicide and end this occupation. Most of what we have been posting at Instagram will be published onto the blog as well. Over at Instagram, ALBB declared that the best way to see lots of Beacon joy, you would be seeing it from our advertisers!! Because those are the only posts guaranteed to publish. Sponsored posts also serve as a much needed break and breather for those of us following and resisting the genocide and occupation. Most importantly, Beacon business highlights are a great source of hope and inspiration! We also made 2 cheerful videos for those thinking of speaking out for the first time. Those who want to break their Instagrams with information, declarations and messages. Here is the first video, and here is the second video, for if you have second thoughts. The World has broken. Palestine will be liberated, and we are unleashed but focused. Even the makeup creator Huda Beauty declared that she couldn't post about anything else for the time being, despite the launch of her new Blush Filter, and to look for news at their retailers. Thank you for being here, and look for our News Digest next! Beacuse yes, we are still blogging about Beacon news.
