Every single time a company was given two options: “consider human safety and make less money” or “poison everyone and make more money”
They choose the latter 😭
They had to be legally mandated to choose the former and they spend all their time and money getting to the latter w/lobbyists.

I have not found my person(s) romantically, but I'm supported, cared for, held accountable, loved, taken care of and doted on in all the ways I would want from a romantic partner. Whoever comes will add a lot to my life, I'm sure, but there's no 'gap' for them to fill.

I need a much more romantic 2026. Full of consistent pleasure. And experiences that feel like sliding into a warm bath at the end of a good day.
