Don't forget to indulge in some luxuries this weekend!
The image is a graphic titled "the real luxuries," highlighting simple yet profound pleasures in life. It features a two-column list with illustrations and corresponding text for each item:
"a good night's sleep" with an icon of a pillow and Z's, representing sleep. "slow mornings" accompanied by a coffee cup icon. "freedom to choose" symbolized by an open hand with a heart in the center. "time for fun and play" depicted with an artist's palette and brushes. "listening to birds singing" with an illustration of a bird on a branch with musical notes. "long walks" represented by a tree. "a good book" shown with a book icon. "favorite home-cooked meal" with a bowl of food. "colorful sunsets" with a sun partly below a horizon line. "ability to freely express yourself" symbolized by a flame. "day naps" with a cloud and moon indicating sleep. "a good conversation" depicted by two hands in a handshake gesture.
The overall message is an appreciation for life's simple joys, depicted in a clean, minimalist design with blue icons and text on a white background.
They almost all sound like things everyone should get to do everyday. That's kind of depressing that all of these things are considered "luxuries" now
8460% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. A growing number are working multiple jobs just to make ends meet.
Unless that “favourite home-cooked meal” is made from rich people, I don’t see the majority of people having time to take day naps anytime soon.
23Yep. That's why I said should

Most of them are. That’s the point
4Yes this is Orphan Crushing Machine adjacent. Or perhaps just Boring Dystopia.

the fact these can be considered luxuries is not looking all that wholesome to me lmao
51Most of these should be seen as basic rights not luxuries
44They are - that’s the point.
11Sorry my friend this is a lemmy comment section. You have to quickly interpret anything you see as a sign of capitalist collapse.
It’s like hanging out with a lefty version of your crazy trump uncle. There is only one topic of conversation. There is only one thing going on in the world. All things tie back to the favored topic.
Try these example conversations:
Cloudy today… “sad that we live in a world we’re a working person can’t even see the sun”
Fuck man, I have this hangnail… “fucking healthcare costs! This country is a fucking joke!”
I love you… “Massive corporate profits, Joe fucking Biden… wages… billionaire…”
The political vibes here aren’t out of step with me, but the anger and hyper fixation are tiring.

Most of these luxuries basically come down to "time for yourself". Having time to spare is a luxury many people don't have.

13The only thing I can get is a good
nightsmorning sleep on weekendsThe real luxury for me is staying up all night long, or atleast a significant portion of it, without the thought of being sleep deprived the next day, and really enjoying and absorbing the quietness of night, the feeling is absolutely gorgeous, choose a slow paced activity like reading, meditating or even browsing lemmy and it almost feels like heaven, it’s like a way to celebrate loneliness, in a good way
10These are all things you lose on the weekend when you have kids...
9Yeah :/
The spiraling depression doesn't help either.
