In this current political climate we have two choices: We can continue on, quietly supporting the causes that we hold dear and keep clear of any political pitfalls which may endanger our business….OR…We can make our voice heard, speaking out against the terrible atrocities that this current administration has decided to commit time after time.

Pop culture has never been quiet. From actors on the stage, to singers penning lyrics in tune with the events of their time, to subversive political commentary through comic books like Captain America and X-Men it has made its voice loud against the booming sound of whatever oppression looked like at the time of its creation.

If we are to maintain our integrity and continue to tout ourselves as bringing pop culture to an enjoyable spot in your lives, we too must follow the footsteps of the things that we love and that bring us joy. We cannot be silent. We must make our voices climb louder than the sound of oppression.

In 1941, Woody Guthrie wrote a song named “Talking Hitler’s Head Off Blues” and scrawled the message “This Machine Kills Fascists” across his guitar, knowing that his song would have an impact.

We are not going to equate ourselves and our impact to Guthrie, but we are borrowing his message in our newest release the “This Machine Kills Fascists” bath bomb. With notes of Dreams, oranges, cream, vanilla mandarin bourbon, vodka and dirt, this orange bath bomb scattered with gold-painted Himalayan sea salt will be a cog in the machine to work towards that very goal. 30% of the profits from this bath bomb will go directly to supporting the ACLU in their endeavors to keep fighting for our civil liberties while we keep volunteering our time and effort locally.
