Hi. This episode is mostly about me wanting to be a barista again. I briefly talk about what I think the second wave American Dream is- which isn't the what but the how. The what is the material manifestation and display of what success is- the car, the home, the cisgendered nuclear family and white picket fence. The what hasn't changed but the how has, and it's through hustle culture- the modern euphemism for exploitation, through the guise of one day producing passive income. I pose that for me i rather have a enjoyable journey than be "there." I'm falling in love with the idea of work and work itself.
