Our cable bill went up $30 dollars a month because we reached the one year anniversary of our Xfinity service, and to reward us for being captives of their monopoly, they ended our new customer discount. So, we cut the cord. I guess cable was just a phase we lived through like b&w TV and landlines.

The pandemic came roaring back into my present moment with that rush of dystopian anxiety we all know, and I felt panic. I went to the grocery store and a crowd was gathered in front of the egg case gasping at the prices. Two dollars an egg. A man walked past me with tears in his eyes.

Fruit basket upset is the vintage phrase my partner’s mother used to describe a calamity. Now we have global fruit basket upset. Boom-Boom! The freedom of open access and anonymity has backfired. We've lost accountability. Death threats are currency. Are you ready to give up your anonymity online?
