For the curious, these are the seven and nine of swords respectively from the Rider-Waite deck, which is one of the most well-known tarot decks. While the meaning of the nine of swords is approximately correct in the meme (anxiety, hopelessness), the seven of swords is a bit more of a stretch — I usually read it as deception or trickery.

Waite-Smith deck. I don’t know why we’re giving credit to the publisher of the deck and erasing the queer woman of color who did the artwork. Oh, wait…

This hits so hard because it is literally my entire shopping history in one image. 3 AM, adrenaline, a moment of chaotic confidence, and suddenly my apartment looks like a medieval Target. Tarot reading or Amazon recommendations, same outcome.
Also, can we stop romanticizing impulse buys? My wallet did nothing wrong, it was assaulted. Ten of Swords is now my bank statement.

Swords!
