This is thought provoking. It also applies to boycotts. Feel free to discuss in comments. I'm travelling, so I might not participate much, but I'll read.

We have talked MANY times on how #impediments become increasingly subtle in the Middle Way.
#Divesting ourselves, monastic, lay or independent #heretic, of power to live the many lives in a day... is done in may different #internal processes
Is this dependent on unsettling clinging to [insert Klingons of choice]? I think so...
In other words, monastics/#sangha give up as much as possible. If good enough, guided well, by their brothers, sisters, #teachings of #nature we may:
1. Leave the will to have power or influence and effect on others ā:ablobcatpopcorn:ā
2. Be the #server of others wheels to #empowerment š
3. Effective through #presence ā:gi:ā
We might be #Nothing but everything of #Real Value š¦
- A #refuge, a resource, #exemplars of refined quality š
- #Buddhas, Boddhisatvahs, #Arhats and general purpose paccekabuddha.

#ChickfilA puts out a '#woke' #cookbook.
The #fastfood #chain hopes to #foster a new #conversation. The chain committed to fully #divesting from #organizations #opposing #samesexmarriage in 2019 and, most recently in May 2023, hired a #VP of #DiversityEquityAndInclusion to ensure that its #staff can "combine [...] unique #backgrounds and #experiences with a #culture of #belonging."

Has anyone had any experience with #divesting, or heard good or bad things about the Royal London Sustainable World Trust?
Risk determines such things as the cost of borrowing. Doing these assessments is not nearly as good as #divesting, but if fossil fuel funding is increasingly expensive that would be a step. Slow, though.
So get your public comment in.
"The Fed's plan would require #banks to consider #climate-related financial risks in their audits and other #risk management and add climate-related scenario analysis to traditional stress testing. "
I'm a former librarian who left the #library for a job with better #boundaries. I enjoy #reading, mostly #romance (especially #queer / #lgbtq+ and #ownvoices #autistic storylines), but also #SelfHelp and narrative #nonfiction.
I'm here for #community, #conversation, and #divesting from corporate interests. And maybe writing some #bookreviews or short #fiction. Plus, connecting with other #ActuallyAutistic folks. Also, #gifs, #memes, and general #tomfoolery. Catch ya on the #feed

We can start by #divesting, boycotting and sanctioning the USA by blocking #Amazon (#Cloudfront) and #Cloudflare.
We've started checking website's network resources for such, even if using #Tor. If we see Cf (both) or #Google/#Facebook trackers we use a reverse bookmark/ #BLOCKMARK mth'yy. If we must access the page we do it through a proxy like web.archive.org/<URL>.
Step 2: #BoycottUSD and #useBitcoin.
Those two steps are peaceful.
Dropping flyers about this too.
The #MMT lot must be loving these #protests.
Rather than #divesting from the #oppressor by switching to #bitcoin, the #protester is giving the #ModernMonetaryTheory pushers are reason to print more #money.
"Get back to work now #slaves! We just got all the fresh, new #freeMoney to #rebuild."
