tumblr when you word a post slightly vaguely/poorly:

I also like the subtle elevation of stakes when it comes to her story. Like there are hints that something is off but at first it comes across as idk... Expected family problems. Bc ofc she as an elder sister is being smothered in favor of her brother. Of course she's the one who has to bear all responsibility. And then it slowly unravels that it's not only this, but she has been groomed to be the next sacrificial lamb in her mother's quest for power. She is a sceptic not only bc it's her belief but also since she was a child her mother possibly denied her own powers lest she slips out of her control. She called Kaneeka back and is not letting her leave, trapping her in the family house. The way Kaneeka genuinely talks Abt her inner life if you romance her is also just so heartbreaking bc she has been purposefully deconstructed as a person so she has poor self esteem and that poor self esteem is making it hard for her to seriously commit to deep relationships with people so she can't even escape emotionally too much (her outlet could be Reese or Stella but Reese is locked in a basement and Stella illoves keeping up the status quo and she is also not the most emotionally available person).

Like ik other people also talked Abt the racism angle here, how Sybil is willing to use her black daughter like this, like a discardable tool. Like specifically exploiting her body... I also think it might have been a malicious conscious decision on her part because the last daughter she did not want to sacrifice looked just like her and that's what made her hesitate.... So instead choosing to have mixed children who are unlikely to have her green eyes for example feels so insidous...

Amazon made their service worse, to force people to pay for Prime.

Nowadays, if you order from Amazon, there is a week long delay before your package is shipped. (on purpose)

I remember when orders would ship out the same day. (I remember - it was real)

YouTube didn't used to have ads. Now, ads play in the middle of videos. (it's worse than TV ever was)

The best can opener I have owned is over 40 years old. Modern ones just don't hold up as well. (The ones I bought new broke ages ago)

The bread machine my mom got for her wedding lasted 30 years. It's been replaced twice in the last 5 years. (How can you fuck this up?)

The cardboard tubes in the middle of toilet paper rolls have gotten larger. (This too?) Companies increasing the price of the product while selling you less. (REALLY?)

It sounds crazy. (it's the truth) When you talk about it, YOU sound crazy. (it's true)

Even when people believe you (do they really), all they can say is "it sucks". (it's too big) Because the problem is so big, so pervasive, what can we even DO about it???

To get the necessary laws written and passed, we need politicians, to get the politicians elected we need information campaigns, to fund campaigns we need money, and all the money is being hoarded by the people profiting from enshittification. (it sounds so fake)

You sound crazy bc youre using Words without knowing what they mean. Please look Things up before blindly repeating what you read online.
