Exactly. People want to keep the benefits but outsource the guilt of their lifestyles.

I really hate when people say “what can I do, it’s all the big corporations’ fault”, as if the big corps aren’t just responding to consumer demand. It's literally the only thing that drives them

It's a news item that doesn't make me sad and despairing, so I'll take it and not think too deeply in it. 

Look... I get it, Bezos has far too much money and income inequality is bullshit and Amazon workers are treated like shit. That’s shitty.

“At the time, people talked of inciting a minor to debauchery, or indecent assault...But nobody ever spoke of crime,”

Apparently Natalie Portman is now a false ally of women for not having worked with an arbitrary number of female directors to be allowed to call out the Oscar snubbing of female directors according to noted principled crusader and arbiter of activism Rose McGowan.

$28.5 million to live on a golf course like some faux riche suburbanite? Hard pass.

Honestly, my first thought was “Vanderpump Rules is all the evidence this woman needs.”

LVP is exactly the kind of person who would do anything for a dog whilst completely ignoring any human suffering. She’s like one of those women in medieval paintings of hell who are there for giving their dogs steak whilst children starve.

There’s also lotsa internalised misogyny- you only need to see an episode of VPR…

When my mother died, all I wanted to do was to curl up and cry for days but as an only child, I had arrangements to make, people to call, it was exhausting. This is what I thought of when reading her statement. Obviously her work is on an entirely different level and I understand our losses are different but geez, if…
