So what’s the move for filing taxes this year? Should I have filed last month and now I’m screwed? Should I file right now? Should I wait and see what happens, possibly filing last minute in April?
I’m never seeing my tax refund for this year, am I? 😭

I'm still catching up on bad rom-com Christmas movies. A Country Music Christmas features a cute home & garden shop in what apparently should be NYC? Ahh yes, the famous Loveland Ave in the Big Apple!

The Twilight Zone marathon is on and I'm not kidding when I tell you I think about this episode all the time in the summer - takes place in NYC when the earth has popped its orbit and it gets closer and closer to the sun every day resulting in heat-madness for those that haven't gone north

Wealth is spiritually corrosive and this is a structural, not psychological, phenomenon. Having everyone around you defer because they are dependent corrodes empathy, warping one’s sense of their importance. I'm not religious, but think this is why great religions warn against greed.
my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.
find it genuinely delighting that people with enough money to never work again (and do literally anything they want anywhere in the world at any time) seemingly have nothing going on in their lives and are so miserable they are just spending the holidays frantically posting
