Like many other commenters here, I spent the day not shopping, not watching TV (I don't even own one and haven't even heard of your favorite streaming services), not listening to any popular music or even the A sides or albums by some bands you've never heard of, eating only whole foods that didn't show any form of suffering during their demise when harvested from the community garden, identifying 2026 candidates to align with (whom I shall never name here lest someone bring up an imperfect act they once failed to adequately denounce), and telling loose acquaintances that I am an ally for their non-traditional romantic entanglements.

Was it Black Friday?
