f*ck the f*cking f*ckery and fakeness known as the hellidays. So much plastic shit that never goes away once it's created, so much killing/dying done in the name of "celebration", supposed nourishment, and "treating ourselves" - be it the animals many eat or the hue-mans dying a long slow painful death from doing so...so many fake foods, fake moods, and fictional-based bullshit in multiple books deemed to be more sacred than the lives it takes to keep it all going...to keep folks feeling guilty/weird/left out/"evil" for not playing all the pre-determined reindeer games....and to keep folks deeply in debt...even deeper than they likely already were, by buying presents or by later footing the medical bills brought about by our celebratory choices, or both.
Emotional manipulation/marketing at its finest. Yet another way to purposefully and very willingly desecrate the whole human race via highly celebrated ignorance that continues to "joyfully" f*ck up the planet by highly disrespecting the environment and the self in the process. Ummm...there is no extra planet to order up and replace this one with. Although it may be by now, for all I know. I haven't checked the catalogues for years. Imagine if we did all of that fa-la-la-la-la niceties every day and purposefully gave thanks everyday, just because it's another day we have the chance to share joy and shit, rather than waiting around all f*cking year to try to squeeze it all in at once because a certain day has been deemed by others to be "the day" we must celebrate.
I forget exactly who said it, but damn if they didn't have the right idea....."Every day is a helliday (although they said holiday) and every meal is a banquet". Sighs. This time of year brings out all of my rage and hurt feelings of decades gone by, mainly because there's no place to ever escape it...even at home....via the internet, radio, tv...then I decide to get out of the house and I'm faced with billboards, every damn store/restaurant/gas station/thrift shop/community event/any outdoor speaker playing music/etc. is all bombarded with the bullshit. Having that much fakery be such a huge and very painful part of the shaky achy and breaky foundation known as self, that almost took me out of this existence, has been both the best and the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Off to the land of the misfit toys, I go. The only space I can feel real while I keep learning how to heal.
