“I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty.” (Moby-Dick)

Wow.

That… makes a lot of sense, actually! And explains some of my worst hangovers.

No, no, there’s only one CORRECT and VIRTUOUS way to do anything, and it just so happens to correspond to my exact personal preferences!

"BOSS, THE FASCISM" is on loop in my head

text based Tumblr post by nitewrighter

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Be one of those houses that does a whole haunted house tour, but lead the kids through a series of completely empty rooms. Undecided if this should be done silently or with elaborate descriptions of scenes that aren't there. Give out full-size candy bars at the end.
