The Duality of Xan

"But why are you still on Twitter?"

Listen. I am an internet ancient. I stood amidst LiveJournal as it crumbled while I watched the fall of Flickr. I was there both times Tumblr burned down, toasting marshmallows over its smouldering ruin, laughing at the folly of Verizon. The death of Twitter was foretold by the dark prophecies of the forgotten internets. I am there to witness its passing as the old internet is dying and the new internet struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

Resistance against trans genocide often looks and feels like this: one, lone trans woman, standing alone, with no allies around her, her voice silenced, her dead mic raised defiantly above her head, her terrified eyes begging someone to listen, to help, to stop this madness.

Burning #FossilFuels

Plastic manufacturing & Plastic pollution.

Deforestation for: farm animals, palm oil, or wood fuel plantations.

Overfishing.

Mining.

Sprawling road networks.

Skies filled with Jet airplanes.

Multitudes of businesses selling, generally, the same product (e.g., Cars) whilst competing to sell next year's must-have model

All these activities will be vastly scaled down by humans choosing to mitigate climate change & by climate change forcing humans to adapt

What would happen if the richest 10% reduced their CO2 emissions to the EU average (which BTW is a nice standard of living).

Answer, there would be a 35% decrease in global CO2 emissions.

So, all would be fixed, if we could limit the excesses of the top 10%.

Doug Ford’s budget is brought to you today by the letters B and S.

Ford has tabled the largest budget in #Ontario history, but it is filled with a bunch of tax breaks and subsidies for big business. And very little for everyday Ontarians.

The term “ecosystem” was coined by Arthur Tansley 88 years ago. Coincidentally, the same year cane toads we’re introduced to Australia from Hawaii as a means to control beetle pests on sugar cane.

Please. Wear your masks. #Covid isn't over and if you're bothered by such a small inconvenience how on earth are you going to cope with the debilitating endless tedious pointless pain of long covid or ME/CFS?
It's taken me two hours to make those words. I'm done for the day. Can you live like that? We have to.
