I hate how they’re doing it, but you can make Amazon give your drivers five bucks “for the holiday season!” by hitting the button on this page, without having an Alexa: https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=18271648011
Apparently you can also search for “thank my driver” on the site.
I think it’s bullshit that their drivers are treated like they are, but also I am definitely gonna give them five bucks out of Amazon’s pocket, even if it’s just for a temporary promotion.
Anyway you probably enjoy #drawings more than feeling alienated and desperate, so here are tonight’s.
the five minute hate, uspol
I know that dehumanizing your enemy opens up the possibility of incredible horrors. But THEY'RE whining that Netflix is going to turn Looney Tunes Gay, while THEIR CDC advisors set up childrens' deaths; THEIR SCOTUS is willing to reconsider birthright citizenship while I worry about THEIR destruction of the Arctic Refuge; THEIR billionaires spending billions on a dead end project while my life would change completely if I had $20K to my name. Etc etc. And I can't help wondering, are we even the same species, do we even live on the same planet, since even if I wanted to harm them I couldn't, does it really hurt to think these THINGS are completely alien to whatever the hell I am?
something that kept me mired in self hate for years, and still shows up occasionally, is that it's hard to separate "I hate being me (with my abilities, experiences and wants)" from "I hate being me (stuck living this way while other 'better' people get to have fulfilling comfortable lives)," especially while stressed, and especially since in childhood everything was some huge moral judgment.
So I'm having a very "I hate being me" day.
This weekend's introspection fits into being this pissy/despairing today. I now feel that while self-hate *did* make me less likely to meltdown in ways that could be noticed and punished, the meltdowns were about overwhelm as well as just triggers, so the self-hate wasn't 100% effective; and the down side of greater self worth is being angry at my wants, identity, and safety being discarded for others' convenience at any moment.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
