The argument could be made that Iāve become dependent on these but as someone who suffers from chronic congestion, itās either this or a rhinoplasty. I love the ones with a keychain attached. I like to hang it off my index finger and spin it around so it doubles as an accessory and fidget toy. My goal is to make this the new it product for club goers and hopefully a brand endorsement from VICKS. Only baddies with congestion and a craving for ketamine can pull it off.
for some reason my allergy season is turning into an allergy year so to avoid getting ADDICTED like literally addicted to decongestants this year Iāve decided to use saline sprays instead. They donāt have that sweet sweet insta relief but Iāve been using it for a while now and it just flushes all the bad shit out your nose and stops you from feeling like youāre suffocating šš I enjoy recommending the most boring shit on here hahaha
this specific nasal spray is important. cleaning out your sinuses should be as important as brushing your teeth but god only knows what happened there with whatever lobby etc. i love this thing. nothing feels better after a plane or a show⦠or honestly even just after dinner.
I think weāre all familiar with that nagging aching back pain from hunching over a laptop in the dark for hours on end. Other than massages which can get pricey and having a bathtub big enough to soak in, which is considered a privilege in this city, this is the next best method of keeping chronic back pain under control. I like to roll all the way down to my lower back and hold my legs straight up. Foam rolling and/or just lying on the floor instead of in bed or on the couch is my most preferred way of scrolling, whether itās for doom or pleasure. Thereās also levels of hardness you can move up once the smooth foam no longer hurts good enough. I think Iām ready for an upgrade.
Iāve noticed a counter culture movement brewing online where the emphasis seems to be on rejecting neoliberal ideas of individualism and increasingly atomized living as a sort of virtue for the sake of our children who would suffer at the hands of climate catastrophe or just the cold hard reality of consciousnesses. Accounts like @carnivoreaurelius or @saveyoursons offer practical advice about the benefits of high quality red meats, the dangers of seed oils, not sunning your asshole enough and soulless dating apps. They provide some respite from the nauseating reality of the current leftist ideology thatās left a lot of us childless at 30 because of eugenicist level logic like āwhy would I contribute to our planetās overpopulation issue?ā. Pundits like Jordan Peterson and Candace Owens have built entire careers off this grift of āno nonsenseā steps to a better, more righteous life. Donāt get me wrong, are these neoconservative pysops? Sure. But at this point itās just about choosing which psyop makes life on Earth tolerable for you. I grew up in a culture that shunned the idea of marriage and children altogether because it reminded us of the traumatic lives our female ancestors just had to accept due to their lack of autonomy. Some cope by stating how relieved they are to enjoy their 20s without the responsibility of family and that they have plenty of time not realizing how hard pregnancy is on the body after the age of 32 or how expensive it is to freeze your eggs or adopt. I was repulsed by the idea for most of my life and then it hit me about a year agoā¦without a solid partner and cute fat babies around, life is kind of a hollow boring nightmare.
Before you judge me just know I identify as an archivist and I would never share any of these raw files, theyāre purely for my ears only. According to my sources, (the voices in my head) one day Iām going to make a film or write a book or record an album. The voices havenāt told me which one. But I figure these recordings will serve as inspiration for all of the above and Iām convinced Iāll need them one day to write realistic dialogue or sample in some coded way that only I will understand. Itās never anything too salacious either, thereās just a certain magic to how candidly people speak when they donāt know theyāre being recorded. Whether itās a young couple breaking up on the subway platform, a life changing DJ set Iāll never hear again, or another painfully awkward phone call from my Dad after heās had too many beers. I feel compelled to archive it all. My lawyer suggested I not speak on it any further but for what itās worth New York is a one-party consent state which means most of these are totally legal and permissible in a court of law.
