I keep meaning to be more active here and then I forget. There's too many sites to keep track of in this time of folk scattering to the four social media winds. I'm always lurking though. Take that as sinisterly as you like. :D

Jeff Bezos and Amazon are a fucking blight upon the working class. He got rich by treating rank and file employees like hot garbage toiling under dehumanizing, backbreaking conditions for shitty pay. When there are this many random strangers across various sectors/departments of a single company sharing similar horror stories, that canāt be dismissed as just a few disgruntled ex-employees. Grievances like these are why I quit using Amazon. They made my life easier at the expense of thousands of hardworking people being mistreated and disrespected behind closed doors. (thread)
Amazonās turnover rate is so high, mostly because they treat everyone like garbage, that they are now at risk of running out of people to hire in the US by 2024, some locations, like California, may run out as early as the end of 2022.
the turnover rate is intentional. i forget their STATED reason for the turnover, but imo itās for the same reason they move you to a new station every night (a tactic walmart also employs), and discourage you from speaking to other workers on the job. itās to stop organizing efforts anyway, amazon is a modern day victorian workhouse (or as close to one as you can get without being incarcerated or undocumented or leaving the imperial core). there are improvements that could be made to worker quality of life, but the misery is the point
I spent the better part of my day working on a commission but I took a couple hours for some hastily-animated nostalgia

I canāt believe this is still up!! SO many midis I would listen to while doing schoolwork - theyāre all still here, and the latest ones were added in November 2019! Check out some cool little tunes here! (PROTIP - my player of choice is Quicktime Media Player, the midi instruments are very nice!)

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?
Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come āere
waiting in deep suspense
Psst you ready here comes the secret
Here it comes
I am also very curious about this secret
Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.
This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you donāt ever forget it
People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought Iād get right to the heart of the matter
