It took me ages to learn that privilege is very hard to spot in part because it makes things *easier*, not easy. Being poor instead of dirt poor, having to hide your ethnicity, queerness or disability rather than being unable to avoid any flak you might take for it, waiting for an elevator being an annoyance rather than a necessity.

This stacks badly with a human tendency towards dualisms, and baggage from seeing suffering as virtuous (things which were bad but not miserable get discounted).

I'm fairly sure Tom Waits is one of the few famous people who got LESS mellow after marriage.

Prior to 1980 his music is all "it's another lonely Saturday and the piano is turning the late afternoon the color of whiskey" and after 1980 there's still nostalgia but now it's mixed with "they found the bodies piled behind the furnace in the basement."

Apparently I’ve decided to share old stupid stuff that makes me laugh (rather than new stupid stuff that makes me laugh). Thanks for the idea @chimerror!

Have an old holiday picture. The ghost of Bob Marley visits Scrooge on Christmas Eve and he mellows out a LOT as a result.
