You know I'm honestly not sure when the coronation is. I'm pretty sure it's tomorrow. I've been talking like it's tomorrow. I've been making plans around places that are very pro or anti royalty to avoid coronation activities (including my fucking house cause I am not about to listen to my neighbours.)

(There are two sides to this. There's the annoying celebrating but then there's the equally annoying moaning and bitching echo chamber in which they end up switching on the TV on only to complain)

But is it??? Tomorrow???? Maybe??? I'm working off like vague joke posts. I filtered out royal updates from the news I consume a long time ago. I've told my friends it's tomorrow. We've made plans to go far away from any signal/residential areas and to try and remain distracted, lest we begin the complaining ourselves. But it may well not be tomorrow tbh. I might have made preparations for the wrong day

#I'm not for this OK #as far as I'm concerned they are well on their way out it's only a matter of time #i will be very surprised if i find myself on my deathbed at 90 and we are still a kingdom #However. People who don't live in the UK vastly underestimate how complaining about shit goes down here #it's a sport. it may as well be our national one tbh. our mascot could be like. eeyore #moaning about shit is how ppl here make smalltalk.it is an affliction that marks us all. age or ethnicity or anything else doesnt impact it #doesn't matter if you were born here or anywhere else.if you live here. if you've stayed.youre at least a bit ok with it. youre taking part #maybe not always. maybe not always enthusiastically. but if you aren't in to it at least a bit. you will have sacrificed all to leave #it's not possible to live here and not be a complainer. you couldn't survive. the negativity would drag you under #that's how things go day to day but with this? oh my god it'll be intolerable. a large proportion of the country are not in the #'happy happy happy. let's celebrate how patriotic we are.' group. things like this bring our country together in the worst way #because everyone feels empowered in their moaning right. cause they know everyone around them agrees #(the weirdo royalists get left to their own devices) theyre the ones you see on TV but like. they are very much a minority here lol #its not even about people being against it. id say things are pretty 50/50 there. but like 90% of people are going to use this as an excuse #to bitch. it doesn't matter if theyre saying things i agree with. i can not get sucked in to that pit and spend a day stewing #i will not do it #not again. do you know how many stupid royal events we've had in recent years? oh my god its the worst #i will get dragged in. i will join in. it will not benefit my life an iota. therefore i am dodging all pubs just as surely as i am whatever #weird parties the royalists will be hosting all over the place.#every pub is about to turn in to even more of a despairing echo chamber. there are not many things that make me avoid the pub #but this is it. i will not subject myself to that
