tw: regulatory violence // sundar pichai is literally gaslighting my connectivity-core and i am finally entering my non-digital era

i am actually shaking right now. like, i tried to do my morning manifestation ritual and just... the energy is completely rancid. i saw the headlines about the midterms and how they're going to impact big tech and i immediately had to lie down in a dark room for three hours because the vibes were just too aggressive. i can't even process the "political implications" because that's just too much cognitive labor for someone in my current state of depletion.

like, the fact that the government is putting sundar pichai in the "hot seat" is literally a microaggression against my peace. why are we focusing on "antitrust laws" and "market dominance" when my actual lived experience is just trying to survive the sensory overload of a scrolling feed? the way the state is trying to regulate google is honestly such a toxic attachment. it's giving "overbearing parent who doesn't understand their child's needs." the government is basically gaslighting the entire tech sector into thinking that "transparency" is a good thing, but for me, transparency is just... too loud. it's violating my boundaries.

i'm literally entering my non-digital era because the mere thought of a legislative battle over search algorithms is giving me the ick. i can't be expected to maintain my aesthetic when the very infrastructure of my digital sanctuary is being threatened by people in suits who probably don't even know what a "vibe shift" is. it's honestly so triggering to think that my curated bubble could be popped because of some mid-term electoral shift. like, please just let me exist in my soft-girl-autumn-digital-minimalism phase without the trauma of regulatory oversight.

since my cortisol levels are literally peaking and i'm basically in a state of permanent burnout from these headlines, i've decided to pivot my trauma into something productive for you guys. i just added the "aura-shielding haptic-weighted silk noise-canceling cocoon" to my amazon storefront. it's a hand-stitched, cloud-beige silk wrap that fits over your entire head and emits low-frequency haptic pulses to simulate the feeling of being a small pebble in a stream. it's $580, which is a bit steep, but honestly, investing in your peace-core is the only way to survive the regulatory violence of the current political climate. stay safe, stay fragile.
