There is not one perfect way to prepare for what's coming up next, but I reserve the right to roll my eyes at a pantry stocked with 6 months worth of individually wrapped craft mac and cheese.

I am feeling so conflicted about leaving Meta platforms. On the one hand, EW. I don't need that. On the other, I think that this is what they (meta) want so that they can push propaganda in peace. What is my responsibility? Would my efforts even matter?

Immediate gratification has absolutely ruined our brains. Probably a milquetoast take at this point.
Still. I am both hopeful and nervous about all of the people who are starting the new year with a resolution to "buy fewer new things."
It's a fantastic resolution but it is an ADJUSTMENT.
