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
60% 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.
Yep. That’s why I said should
Most of them are. That’s the point
Yes 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
Most of these should be seen as basic rights not luxuries
They are - that’s the point.
Sorry 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.
Same, I browse all with a massive block list. I’ve had to add some of the most major ones lately… I found despite being interested they were sapping my energy. Echo chambers exist across the entire political spectrum and the wise keep that in mind.
It’s not even lefty it’s just depressed teens.
Politically I’m even further left, but that doesn’t mean I spread doom and gloom in every thread
Most of these luxuries basically come down to “time for yourself”. Having time to spare is a luxury many people don’t have.
Slow mornigs are my favorite!
Especially when you’re gregnant

sure, sex is great but have you tried fucking the system ?
Does getting fucked by the system count?
The 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
These are all things you lose on the weekend when you have kids…
Yeah :/
The spiraling depression doesn’t help either.
Necessity not luxury
Don’t forget to indulge in some luxuries
this weekend!I’d like to add “warm showers” to the list
I love sleepig in durig slow mornigs
