7 For All Mankind Was My Business

A reel about our over-consumption plays on my social media feed: A woman rushes into an elevator, and like Jacob Marley and his accounting books, she drags a long chain of handbags tied to her ankle. She exchanges looks with a second woman wearing dozens of scarves. This week I decided to undertake a HUGE closet clean out. I do these regularly, but this was a deep dive. My clothes are mostly friend exchanges or thrifted, but I still culled four massive bags. Had I been in that PSA, my ass would have been encased in fifteen pairs of jeans.
