And like, that's one type of pressure, but the pressure to go along and conform is rarely so obviously individual and fully formed. There's normative societal pressure, too, that's the bigger influence and that's a lot harder to pin down.

Looking back though I can’t believe how credulous I was in believing that the symptoms of ME are indeed “medically unexplained”. Now I know that there are thousands of studies documenting significant biological anomalies (9/n)

That means that you can't break up with Amazon without throwing away those audiobooks. Under the 1998 #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct, I can't give you a tool to convert my own copyrighted audiobooks to a non-Amazon format. 5/

Audible is #Amazon's monopoly audiobook platform. It has a death-grip on the audiobook market, commanding more than 90% of genre audiobook sales, and *every single one* of those audiobooks is sold with Amazon's DRM on it. 4/

@lisa_iannattone When measles first got into Fiji?, 40% of people died in 3 months. Later measles had lower death rates. So, yes, not taking into account that 40% of the most susceptible died and are not available to die again, and thinking Oh, the measles has become milder... no.
