I agree with the tactile engagement. I despise online clothing purchase because I cannot touch the item or try it on without a lengthy return process. I do shop around online for other things and as long as the reviews are accurate, I’ve found some things I’d probably never found otherwise.

Idk malls resulted in the hoarded closets/attics of our parents. There was some variety. But even those shops were curated or at least could afford the rents

It reminds me of a recent vacation. I really wanted some unique, locally-made items to purchase. What I found was tourist junk in every shop. I don’t want a T-shirt/keychain/mug with destination name. How boring is homogenized everything?

Add a scrambled egg to the mix. Cause I have wild rice “stuffing” and that’s what I’m going to do!

All the receipts for home-grown mass shooters & he’s still holding strong to his xenophobic beliefs & that Americans are dumb enough to believe him.

Evolution. But in reverse.

I can’t find what I’m looking for, like I used to within a couple minutes, and as a result, I use Google less than before. It seems much more undependable

I didn’t diet. I had unrecognized food intolerances. Ironically, I received a lot of hate for being skinny. It seems the culture just wants to punish; too skinny, too fat. Never enough for perfection.

I was closer to 5’-6” and about that same weight

Ugh! Hoping you are now in your preferred comfort space.

I just see all the originality of an “American Girl” doll.

Doesn’t matter if 5 yr or 15 yr - they don’t want to f*ck your grandpa.

This might be an analogy for the current political climate

It’s the illusion that we have control of our cravings 🥴

Entitle, egotistical man with unhealthy work/life balance with obsession to create progeny by any means, using unethical methods to play “god”, perverting death yet he still rejects said progeny which might just make a truer monster of the monster created by a monster.
