amazon is all out of faith in democracy, dammit

i'm starting to think that i shop more when i feel uncertain. i had a burst of lockdown shopping in the spring of 2020 (i think a lot of us did) and i realized that it has started again.

in the last week:

• new fitted sheets (needed them but did i really need to try out three kinds from two different vendors?)

• popsicle molds (these were unavailable during the last burst of shopping, probably due to shipping issues with China)

• a two-year subscription to Interweave Knits

• a POUND of a tea flavor i liked in a free sample

I bought a 2021 planner and have been binge-watching plan-with-me videos on youtube. Which is very clearly a cry of distress despite how it may look from the outside.

makes perfect sense to me, you're taking control of a thing you can control. mine is usually bursts of cleaning and household reorganization
