I was trying to put words as to why the Holiday Spirit seems to elude me this year.
I realized Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Men feels so very far away from the world we're seeing right now.
I know Joy is the most powerful form of subversion, but it's so hard to hold on to sometimes.

I heard on NPR colleges are now having students think about their pragmatic, recession-proof side hustle.
You're telling me we're prepping them from the get-go that a college degree isn't enough??
What kind of a world are we living in??

Some people make cocktails after a hard week.
I just make more coffee.
Cheers, and may next week be better, my friends.

Real talk, it’s no wonder we millennials have a reputation for being cringey failures-to-launch with arrested development who “can’t adult”—no one taught us how to be adults in THIS version of the world.
Everything we were taught and prepared for was for a version of the world that’s gone extinct.

Work w/ a corp for 50 yrs and retire w a pension? Jk it’s a gig economy now
Buy a 3 bd home with your own $? Jk you’ll be lucky if you can buy a 1 bd apt
Politics as a mild, mostly ignorable affair? Jk every day is a brutal fight for your rights

30 Rock is one of my favorite TV shows. But rewatching recently is so ... cringe.
Because the hyperbole portrayal of the wealthy Republican is no longer sattire, but the heartbreaking reality that is running this country.

I usually drink half-caff coffee at home, and it's very hard to find flavored half-caff Keurig pods.
Today's win was trying a brand that offers a variety pack and the white chocolate macadamia (they're not pre-sweetened) was quite good!
I'm sharing a link below for anyone sharing my struggle.
