Tbh, this is like my prime state, lol. Granted, I do miss the kickbacks but we’ve managed to replace it and still get the same vibe. Really highlighted the people who know how to have a good time versus those who suck energy. https://twitter.com/TheAmyCode/status/1250864721542041600
I wish sites asked for permissions before they ask for permission for things. Since everyone imports 6,000 things from random locations, I have NO idea what’s asking for things.
Not knowing leads to blind trust (encourages users to just click “accept” - dark pattern).
This lovely science-fiction-story-as-blog story, and the story-about-the-story, is hitting me strangely hard today.

Fair trade stuff is so hard to find. Like I’ve been attempting to source that as much as possible in my home. But like getting new bedsheets is even challenging. PimaCott is ideal for the PNW and PSW but like grr.
If I had a car, I’d be spending time doing drop offs. All I can do right now is reallocate funds for those who need more.

Not worth it when those “middle men” companies aren’t working to help or protect employees. There’s an angle that there’s people in the gig space who need this traffic and I do understand that’s a loss.
