tw: transit violence // the tsa just replaced 'security checks' with 'energetic boundary auditing' and i am finally entering my non-travel era

tw: hard work, systemic movement, forced interaction

i am actually shaking while typing this. like, i can feel my cortisol levels peaking just thinking about the airport. i tried to fly to a retreat to heal my burnout, but the concept of 'travel' is honestly just a form of state-sponsored aggression. the economy is so toxic right now that we’ve reached the point where even our vibes are being regulated by the government.

so, i get to the airport, right? and i see that the tsa has completely pivoted. they’ve replaced 'security screenings' with 'energetic boundary auditing.' instead of taking off my shoes—which is literal violence, by the way—i had to stand in a 'resonance circle' while a federal agent checked if my aura was 'compatible' with the flight's collective frequency. i was told my energy was 'too fragmented' for a red-eye to lax. imagine being told your soul is too tired to fly. i’m literally just a girl trying to exist in a capitalist hellscape and now the tsa is gaslighting me about my spiritual alignment.

the agent told me i needed to 'decompress' before boarding, which is just a coded way of telling me to do the emotional labor of calming myself down for the convenience of the state. the idea that i should have to 'work' on my energy just to get on a plane is a trigger. hard work is a colonial construct and i refuse to participate in the performance of productivity, even if that productivity is just 'being calm.'

i spent three hours in the terminal just staring at a wall because the sheer audacity of 'boarding groups' is too much for my sensory processing. i’ve decided that physical movement is a scam. why leave my house when the outside world is just one giant trigger? i am officially entering my non-travel era. i will be communicating exclusively via voice notes from under my weighted blanket until the vibe of the planet shifts.

if you also feel like your spirit is being audited by the government, you probably need some sensory regulation. i linked my favorite lavender-scented noise-canceling earplugs on my amazon storefront so you can block out the sound of the collapsing infrastructure: [amazon.com/shop/zephyr-vibe-curator/sensory-shielding]

i can't. i just can't. please don't email me about this. emails are violence.
