I Eat Cannibals

He has a regular cat lamb chop (not holding anything) that he got like a week before Christmas that is in great condition. His other lamb chop (that he got at the end of February) looks like it is 50 years old bc it goes everywhere with him.

Well, if you listen to the author's podcast--

NO!! I should not have to do supplemental reading/listening!! She should have WROTE IT INTO THE BOOK.

Natalie being an unreliable narrator does not excuse the fuckassery of this book.

The "Natalie doesn't really believe her religion so it isn't important to know exactly what denomination she's a part of" is BULLSHIT.

I don't care if the author claims on her podcast that she did loads of research for this book when it was very clear in the text SHE DID NOT. OR she just decided to disregard all of it.

AAAAHHHH

Obviously this isn't anyone's fault, because you can't magically tell if an onion is rotten inside from the outside. However, this has led to me staring at my backyard and wondering if there's somewhere I can actually plant onions next year and how difficult could it be to cure and store them, really? As if I need to give myself even MORE work bc why not, at this point?

Anyway, I should prooooobably go pop all that pasta sauce out of the souper cubes and bag it up for the freezer eh.

Like, yes, there will be better days ahead and there will be time to rest, eventually. But it is very hard to look forward to that when you're in the thick of things and your immediate future is just More Work and More Exhaustion and rest is "eventual" rather than a concrete date to look forward to or enough time to actually recover.

A smaller part of my current problem is that paid job would be much less exhausting mentally and physically if people could be a little less people-y and a little more read the menu-y or a little more use their brain-y. And maybe also a little more decide-y on what they want instead of rapid fire changing their orders three times in one minute.

And I say this as a hater. I was born a hater and I'll die a hater.

I still, absolutely, would never want to see another human being suffer the way Natalie did in this book, no matter how hateful their beliefs or behavior.

I also firmly believe that the fundies don't give a shit about us (the liberal, childfree by choice, non religious women) beyond the occasional thought. Not in the same way Tradwife influencers seem to live in so many people's heads rent free.

I'm glad I didn't buy this book bc I do not like it enough to own it, but I really wish my library had more than the audiobook on Libby.
