I purge the Google Reader of all links to fashion pages and diet help and design journals and lists of things to buy.

something i used to enjoy doing was buying the sunday new york times and spending the day lazily perusing it. i stopped a few years ago when i noticed that i inevitably felt worse about myself and my general station in life afterwards and finally realized, oh right! that's the whole agenda of consumerism, to make my blessings seem inadequate! well, fuck you new york times. and more generally, fuck you anybody trying to sell me anything, for any reason, ever. i'm not buying anymore.

Srsly! I hadn't even thought of the NYT as being another example of an envy delivery system. Dammit! I thought I had a pretty good immunity to consumerism built up but it's like high fructose corn syrup--pervasive and irresistible and causes a near-limitless appetite for more.

I think I need a hoodie that says "fuck you anybody trying to sell me anything, for any reason, ever."

oh, you should totally check out my online store then, fuckconsumerism.com. I've got those hoodies in black or pink, your choice, only fifty bucks! ;-)

raising your kids? are your kidding? its the most important thing for them, that you could be doing. plese don't second guess yourself about this. daycares? they suck the big one. mom, at home, to offer the intellectual side of life and the love that kids need? you're doing it babe, and that,my friend, is the most important thing of all.
