Even though the only annual events I spiritually fuck with are solistices and equinoxes, I do love a good made up capitalist buy shit kind of day. I buy Easter eggs, I do all the Christmas things, I get spooky on Halloween, I eat vegan haggis on Burns night etc. But Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day just rub me up the wrong way, I want nothing to do with that shit. Too personal for me to let Clinton’s tell me what to do. And this is me with two living parents and a long term partner (luckily they all couldn’t give a shit), I think it’s just really harsh on people who’s parents are no longer with them or they have a poor relationship with,or are single or in an unhappy relationship that they have to go about and see all this shite in shop windows and all over TV. I mean it’s not like you can avoid it unless you stockpile all your food in advance or some shit, and what if it’s valentine’s Day but you feel like going out to the pictures or for a meal or drink with a friend, too fucking awks.
