Class … such an important topic. For anyone who has not read Caste: the Origin of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson, I highly recommend it. The film version, Origin, was released in 2023.

It’s not a game. I despise Janelle but it’s not like I truly want her to disappear. I pick up her racket, curving my fingers into the grip, touching the warm, worn leather where Janelle’s fingers were

I recklessly bought a big volume of high-end vanilla a while ago and was like, “This is silly, it would take me a long time to use this much high-end vanilla.” Now, I plan to use it to fund my retirement.
