And stop saying sigh, Amazon and Bezos suck, but I simply cannot live without throwing my money at them. I tend to hate to be judgy about it, but I think the time has come to pass judgement, for people to put up or shut up. Yes, all corporations are bad. That means we should all be consuming less. But some corporations are definitely worse than others, and every single person who voluntarily gives them money is complicit. They have the power because we give it to them.
That’s funny about you because you assume if they don’t say they’re a woman they must be a man
Sir that ship sailed months ago, what are you talking about?
Yeah, that’s why the uncertainty. I don’t like all the “stuff” involved with physical media
Yeah, I know, that would be even better. I know these platforms screw artists, but having worked in or peripherally to these businesses, I have a hard time with piracy (not that I didn’t Napster in my day)
Edit: physical media?
Tidal and Pocketcast
I think maybe they care when the person is white
Go beans
Ok, I’m new here and I HAVE to ask what’s up with beans. If it’s not too uncool to ask
This idiocy must be weaponized
Yeah, I wish there was a less condescending way to advocate for changing yourself if you can’t change the world (not that I’m saying you’re condescending, I’m saying it’s hard to talk to people about it without sounding like “pull yourself up by the bootstraps”), but I’ve been really reevaluating this stuff in the last few months and it’s helping me a lot. I’m buying less that I don’t need and donating that money to causes. I’m trying to focus on what I can do in my world, while still paying attention to the big world, and it’s helping me keep a balance. I’m focusing on making myself a better me so I can fight instead of wallowing in helplessness (which I definitely did do for a while).
