Slow Down Saturday: Strike Solution!

 I may be a basic suburban middle class middle aged married white cis het mom, but I AM NOT A SCAB.

Do I miss my beloved holiday drink menu? Of course I do (see above). But! Yesterday! Trolling Whole Foods with Minnie (mainly for bread cubes for my stuffing-- theirs are the best-- and a couple of subtle winter/fall transition candles (the 365-brand candles are also really truly the best and only TWELVE DOLLARS!) I FOUND THIS STUFF. Life changer, guys.

With a dollop of chocolate milk, it is for sure a peppermint mocha at home. (And the coffee beans are from our local wine/cheese/coffee store, she says smugly)

Yes, I get it. Amazon owns Whole Foods. Amazon is the worst. My tiny act of not crossing a picket line (my stores are not even actively on strike) is pretty much bullshit when that's where I spend my dollars. Does late stage capitalism/ neoliberalism on steroids make all boycotts bullshit? I think maybe. I guess I need to switch my allegiance to my local organic co-op, but real people who live and work in my real town also really work at Whole Foods and Starbucks. Bah. I am not as vapid as I come off on this blog sometimes, my dear friends. I've just sort of... already analyzed the situation and made a choice that might... be a shitty one sometimes because nihilism.

The coffee creamer, though, is A GOOD CHOICE.
