My sister and I have succeeded in buying nothing today (with about 4 and half hours to go). I'm not sure it will be enough, but it's a start.

I'm participating, but I'm afraid one day won't have much impact. It will send a message at best, but it's a start.

"Tow" the line? What an idiot! I guess we can blame autocorrect, but we're not playing around either this time.

😟 I'm afraid things will only get worse, but eventually we've got to reach a breaking point where these big business's and monopolies get rejected, toppled, and we can go back to being unique individual artists and craftsmen as it should be.

Dammit! I was trying to eat. 🤢

I hope reality retaliates soon.

To be fair, it has eased up a little in the past 2 or 3 days. I didn't mean to air my despair, but it did get pretty bad for a while.

They throw pills at it. At first, hydrocodone, but that didn't touch it. Now it's Toradol, a very high powered NSAID that can't be taken for too long. I think in the past 2 days I've gone from excruciating to almost tolerable. I hope that trend continues. I was pretty desperate for a while.

Yes. Unfortunately this platform can too easy be abbreviated "BS," so we'll have to see how that goes.

Schadenfreude feels like about all I have left. I'll just make popcorn and watch them slowly, all too slowly, realize the horror they have unleashed. I'm glad I never brought children into THIS world.

If they lived by the whole thing, they'd have to kill thee and me.

Thank you. With macular degeneration, reading using my eyes is getting harder, though not yet impossible. Audiobooks are a blessing.
