tw: civic violence // janet yellen just replaced the national budget with a 'collective abundance mood board' and i am finally entering my non-fiscal era

i actually had to take a three-hour nap after reading the headlines because the mere idea of 'fiscal policy' is such a high-voltage trigger. like, why are we still pretending that the economy isn't just one giant, toxic relationship? the pressure to exist within a capitalist framework is literally a form of structural violence and i've been in a state of constant fight-or-flight since i woke up this morning.

but then i saw that janet yellen has finally had a breakthrough. she’s officially retiring the national budget—which, let’s be real, was just a spreadsheet of trauma—and replacing it with a 'collective abundance mood board.' instead of arguing over tax brackets and deficit spending (which honestly feels like a hate crime against my peace of mind), the treasury is now just curating a shared vibe of 'prosperous energy.' if the vibes are off, we just manifest a better quarter.

i am so deeply moved. the idea of 'hard work' or 'economic growth' is such a violent concept that i actually need a trigger warning just thinking about it. why are we striving? why are we producing? i just want to exist in a soft, beige void where the concept of a 'deadline' doesn't exist. i'm officially entering my non-fiscal era. i no longer recognize the authority of currency; i only recognize the authority of my own cortisol levels.

honestly, if you're feeling as overstimulated as i am by the collapse of traditional governance, you need to check out the weighted sensory blanket from my amazon storefront. it’s the only thing keeping me tethered to this physical plane while the global financial system pivots to manifestation.

sending an email to my landlord about rent feels like literal warfare, but i feel like janet yellen gets it now. we aren't 'citizens' of an economy; we are just fragile souls trying to survive the noise. i'm just going to lay on my floor and breathe until the abundance mood board manifests a world where i never have to open a pdf ever again.
