Bought a gallon of milk for $3.19 today, and aged about twenty years in the middle of Kroger, complaining that in my day, milk was cheaper.

The only line from Hamilton I will endorse is King George III singing, "Oceans rise, empires fall..." Is Lin Manuel Miranda referring to the British Empire? Probably. But it's very apropos as I watch the American Empire crumble around me in slow motion.

Me: Parasocial relationships with internet personalities can be deeply problematic.
Also me, after writing an essay comment on a video by one of my favourite beauty YouTubers: They liked my comment and responded! I am validated!
(It's definitely the isolation due to disability at work here.)

Hey, compulsive shoppers and shopping addicts: you can get through the lengthened Black Friday/Cyber Monday period without blowing all your money! Truly! I have faith in you. You can do this, and I'm here for you. Love, someome who used to shove lipsticks in the hole in their chest.

People love to shit on the humanities but want BookTok, video games, and answers to life's great questions. Quit debasing my Master's in English and then turn around to ask me to look at your resumé or explain Hamlet. You need art and philosophy in your life, I promise you.

Watching a YouTube video in which the influencer is reccing like fifty items - all available on Amazon. As a disabled broke person who often can't get out to the store, I'm obligated to use Amazon for necessities, but this whole video screams overconsumption and landfill food.

I literally just had my yearly check-in and recertification in October. I am disabled, can't work, and am on SSI. I can't afford my medically mandated diet without SNAP, and reapplying is a lot of work, which is made harder by my disability and poor health. This is maddening.
These incredible fucking assholes.
These application processes are already so deeply burdensome and frustrating.
They are trying to starve people.

Went outside in 43 degree (6 Celcius) weather in a hoodie, shorts, and flip flops. It felt great for my POTS, and my neuropathy-ridden feet hate shoes, so it was comfortable. Fall is my favourite season and I'm sucking up as much fall as I can before the long Michigan winter starts.

I heard a youth (in their early twenties) wondering out loud what it'd be like if Canada had cowboys and goddamn, are we failing out American youth when it comes to education. Canada has prairie provinces and many cowfolk. Calgary is crying.
