Social media is a great equalizer. Wealth and status, education level...it is all irrelevant. If you are on social media, you are just as unstable as the next guy. You are displaying your "tell", your particular mental quirk, to the whole world. That is an endearing quality for common ground.
People get pissy when their badges of superiority are threatened. We all have them.
I know the world is falling apart, but nobody seems to understand that Sam's Club no longer seems to carry the tires I have been buying for YEARS. This will cost ME greatly. ( Greatly on my scale, not yours.)
"Happily failed writer not looking for clout but also not jealous of my ridiculously successful peers " shirts will soon be available on my merch page. Kidding. I don't have merch.
Went to pick up a fan to move it to another room and bumped the back of my head on it before it was unplugged. I instinctively jerked my head in fear of catching my hair in the blade. My wife just says " that was close. It almost sucked your eye brow over the top of your head." ( I haven't had hair for 25 years.)
Stardate 08/11/2022
Air conditioning has been off, and windows open, for approximately sixteen hours. We made it through the night with fans and the temperature eventually got down to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, albeit with 100 percent humidity. Once you stepped out of the fan, it was just a cool swim to the bathroom.
Tempers flared in late afternoon, as the mid 80s started to do what the mid 80s do to the brain. One starts to get sleeeepy, after having the A/C on for most of the last 9 weeks or so and going back to being slaves to the weather like neanderthals.
We are struggling to not turn on that A/C. The evening will be sticky, but a cool reprieve. That 25% raise plus ten dollars , following last years raise of 13%, sure feels like twice as much as it used to be for the comforts of heat and air.
One day soon, we will be human again.
