  • I used to hate Sundays the most out of all. Not because work is starting again but mostly because you can’t really do anything on Sundays: can’t go shopping, can’t go to the city for random activities. Sunday has the potential to be as good as Saturday but only if I actually have something to do. It’s gotten better recently, tho


  • I remember stealing small toys from dentists and pediatricians when I was little. Like, you were allowed to pick one toy after the appointment and I took two or something?

    Unfortunately, I’ve also stolen from friends of mine. I was around 7 or 8 and wanted a Tamagotchi real bad but couldn’t afford one because I didn’t have/get any allowance and my parents couldn’t just buy me one since we were tight on money growing up. Ff to us visiting friends and I notice 15€ on my friend’s night desk which I just stashed.

    Same day, I go to my mother, all proud, and proclaim “Look, I only need another 5€ to get a Tamagotchi!” When she asked where I’d gotten the money from, I confessed, realised what I did was stupid, and apologised to his mother over the phone. I remember crying real bad and promising I’d never do something like that ever again; she was really cool about it and wasn’t angry at all which was nice. Felt awful regardless.

    I did end up getting a Tamagotchi for my birthday so yay?





  • That’s not how that works. If enough people boycott a service and show their displeasure, companies have to change something depending on how many people participate. It’s the same thing when it comes to climate change, veganism, whatever. Every bit counts and subtracting oneself from all responsibility with this mentality is a little naive, imho.

    You’re bound to have a different experience as an employee, though. Can’t comment on that. However, things would very likely change for the better, even for you, if Amazon’s shady business practises were shunned even more than they already are. It’s insane how much of their wrongdoings have been exposed over the past years and how little people actually care

    My SO and I are both not diagnosed nor are we claiming that there should be a diagnosis, but my SO especially benefits a lot from my body doubling. Be it to wash their hair, knock out some chores, it helps when I’m around either talking to them or joining
