Anyone want to interpret the Ace Of Rings from The Christmas Island Oracle deck for me? 🤔

I bought a bottle of Baileys for the first time in ages, and I'm not sure if it's always been like this and my tastes have changed or if the recipe changed because I don't recall it being this cloyingly syrupy sweet. Like, it's not even strong fakey Irish cream flavoured. It's like melted cotton candy ice cream and the memory of whiskey. Oh well, I can do a decent cream float so I'll have to make my own boozy coffee.

The thing that Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet gets right that no other production seems to recognize, is that Shakespeare wrote every character (with the exception of the Prince, and Juliet who is too young and bewildered to know any better) as a uniquely tacky trash fire.

Just in case you thought you were special or emo was something new, they had songs about being so depressed you wish you were dead after getting ghosted by a lover back in the 10th century, too

Dressed up a little to go out tonight – seeing an ensemble perform medieval music including an old charm for bees. Also felt like it's a good time to wear this necklace, a period-appropriate winged Death's head. (I'm good at giving myself Christmas gifts!)

Wait, some bedding distributor actually has a product with this name; time to go roll into the "real life is indistinguishable from satire and neither has clarity of purpose" hole

There's a bunch of people on Twitter complaining about how weird the lineup for the Grammys' tribute to Prince is (seriously, no Janelle Monáe?) and I was incredibly confused about why the Foo Fighters were performing, but it turns out Prince had seemingly out of nowhere covered "The Best Of You" at the Super Bowl, possibly as a diss because he didn't like the Foo Fighters' cover of his "Darling Nikki" so now I'm kind of here for it?

Everyone's surprised, but lesbians knew for years

Is this:
a. Just a day when nothing is actually good/most things are average or bad actually
b. Unexpected PMS
c. The beginning of a bout of anhedonia
d. Some unreasonable combination of any of the above

(Among other things going on, I'm in a cafe/roastery that smells great but I can't make myself finish this lackluster cup of coffee, so I'm leaning toward a and b, am concerned about c)
