Now that the spent orgy
of mass consumerism
has finally climaxed
in a gifting feed frenzy
we who have #survived
after doing our duty
to support this economy
can finally holster
the soon to be maxed credit cards
and ignore
our ever growing deficit
just like our oblivious government

I think this white truck we saw in a parking lot got severely bashed. It's missing the entire front quarter panel, bears assorted stickers (including one that reads "Watufaka"), and has a Beetlejuice doll hanging from part of it. The entire front tire and wheel is visible.

When we came back to our car, the truck was gone.

Tough truck!

I was in this car accident in year 2012. A memory I will never forget. The car flipped 4 times before coming to a stop. I survived with injuries to my 2 fingers. My girl came out without a scratch. Some said, accident like this driver can't survive. I am indeed blessed by Guan Yin Buddha to come out alive 🙏. #sg #accident #survived #car #memory #blessed #blessing #guanyin #buddha

OK, I successfully #survived leaving my house today, riding to the other end of town to UPS to drop off my Amazon return, stopping at the local Goodwill store, and riding home again. #hikikomori

For <$5, I got a big ramen bowl to replace the one I accidentally smashed while washing it (no indication of origin, but it feels Japanese to me, might be Chinese), four white vintage Corning Pyroceram rice/soup/ice cream bowls? (before Corelle), and a white Porcelana Schmidt (Brazil) sake or tea cup.

I always hear the #oppressor say

'When #youngling of #oppressed can be #proud of their #origin, why can't we?'

Well, the answer is simple... Oppressed are proud of their #root because of what their #ancestors did, how they #survived, #fought and #raised them despite of everything #against them... While the ancestors of oppressors gave that pride away because of their #Criminal activities of taking advantage of their #status created by oppression.
