Groundhog Day for years at this point some days, am I right? Let's list things. Some of the living conditions in my optimal existence include
Windows open, no heat or air conditioning
Always in proximity to a clean bathroom
No petty bitches like character flaw petty bitch, only isolated I was petty today incidents
Four day work week three day weekend as the standard with everyone on earth experiencing an actual work life balance that is healthy and true
Term limits for all politicians and you have to pass an American history and government test to be one
Humid enough for my skin and throat to not be dry but not so humid I can't breathe and am sweating, shiny, and annoyed
Kindness over niceness
Produce that lasts until I'm ready to use it
No traffic anywhere, ever and also no trash on the ground, no pointless graffiti (no pointless graffiti, yes street art), and no unpicked up dog poop piles
Social media channels only work from 9-5 then they go to sleep until the next day
People in a hot hurry to exit trains and planes first would be met at the threshold with an invisible clothesline, falling to the ground and rolling around unhurt but in confusion, clutching at their spilled belongings while everyone who filed out in an orderly fashion like you should breezed through
Little bit of sun, little bit of shade, plenty of time to while the afternoon away on the porch
Returning from a beach walk with a little bag of treasures
Adult zits are not a thing
Not a peep from the entire trump family, forever more
Never having to put gas in the car, clean baseboards or showers, waste food, or deal with water damage or car repairs
Lipstick that stays on until I wipe it off
A HomeGoods section fully stocked with interesting and beautiful things to peruse
An endless to be read list - I'd rather die still reaching for new books than scat around for something suitable
Cuticles that maintain themselves
Outdoor showers every day
The wealth gap cut by 60%
Obvi equality, equity, safety, free and easily accessible A-Z healthcare including mental dental eye and substance use disorder, food, clean water, shelter, a halt to climate change and a habitable earth we don't allow to be destroyed for money, bodily autonomy, freedom, and joy for everyone in a world where people are fundamentally good. Also the death of systemic racism, garden variety racism, patriarchy, fascism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, homophobia, ableism, all the other shit that turns hatred outward with a focused lens and makes life harder for other people, war, self harm, domestic violence, the 24 hour news cycle, uncomfortable shoes, and the videos where people lip sync and writing is on the screen
Too much to ask?
What are some of your optimal living conditions?
