This was so spot on, and hard, and a little nerve wracking, and I LOVED the image breaks, and please say hi to Lemon for me.

Lemon has passed on a few years ago, sadly the shrimpies don’t live too long. But she was a beautiful girl and the most intrepid explorer. I’m sure she’s picking bits of algae off some really pretty rocks in some beautiful lake in the sky ❤️

I think that makes me like her even more. Thanks for helping me connect with her.

I am officially a fan of Lemon the shrimp. Logical fallacies are indeed fascinating and you should tooootally write about them ;) Seriously though, I think left and right are both rotten to the core, what we don't see (what even if we dig we might not understand) is much bigger than we realise and, at this point, nobody is right nor telling the truth. We as a society are also way too lazy and disconnected to revolt French-style. I mean, that Luigi dude tried! but taking down one head didn't solve anything :(

Exactly. I really think the key is in a slow but joint awakening. We’ve all watched A Bug’s Life, we get how it works. Just imagine one glorious week where literally half the country refuses to leave their house. We’d have change real quick.

I just had a coffee break chat with a colleague and we openly discussed the cognitive dissonance we live in, where she's regularly seeing people steal from her local shops and even security guards can't do anything, yet we're all still giving money and time to 'the man'.

Yeah I really think more and more people are accepting the undeniable. Weird times we live in.

I was at the supermarket today and the line for the self-serve checkouts was twenty times longer than those for the manned ones and I found myself casually wondering whether it’s because we’re all getting used to scanning things as lower priced items and now we don’t want the cashiers messing up our calculations…..

The first time my mom told me she had scanned honey crisps as galas I was scandalized. Now I genuinely hope everyone is robbing the supermarkets blind, because however much you steal from them they’re stealing from you more…..

Our self-checkouts are all video'd and one time I miscanned some nuts and security was onto me immediately. Kudos to our security staff, but also, I do hope people take stuff from the supermarkets because Mr. supermarket deserves it.

Yap. And find a way to collaborate in spite of differences…. That’s a big one.
