I teach younglings how to ask questions, write short stories, theorise apocalypse-survival strats and marvel at the universe(s)!

And now, we’re accelerating! Faster than expected! It’ll be a race to the top, or the bottom. Hang tight.

What if… all the things we did because of the Industrial Revolution is us fucking over Death’s Plan again and again, and now it’s just Death trying to collect?

Our climate fiasco makes me feel zero motivation to go to work; it’s meaningless. Plus I’m working for a corporation that has no interest in helping the world, and will perhaps create even more profit-driven individuals. Education shouldn’t be for profit.

Fascinating. Living in some other part of the world, I had no idea!

You drink soda like a BROKE ASS PEASANT compared to your ancestors.

A thread.

@RayneHall Those look lovely!

A year ago today, Plato, my beloved cat companion, went to the clearing at the end of the path. It was cancer. He was 15, and had gone through much of turbulence of my thirties with me. I miss him, and wish I could have done more.

Things won’t change. We’ll just keep finding new ways to do the same things that point towards an inevitable end. I hope I’m wrong.

A solemn day for #Syria.

The remains of heroic Syrian archaeologist Khaled Al-Asaad have been found near Palmyra today.

Al-Asaad was beheaded at 83 by ISIS in 2015 for refusing to lead them to the locations of Palmyra’s hidden antiquities.

He can now finally rest in peace.

Lost cities are not so much lost as they are forgotten.

@alispagnola You’re so wholesome! You’re the bright spark in my increasingly dreary feed. I would love to see the vid of you sending your pictures to the person who insulted you. The world needs more yous!

[Suri W @SuriSawStars]

Many think they’re on the right side of history. The truth is there’s no side. No right side, no left side. History just... is. Civilizations change values; Everything is process.

[Suri W @SuriSawStars]

Too short-sighted; too rash. Done things can’t be undone.

[Suri W @SuriSawStars]

Drat. I’m on the other side of the planet and can’t see the Great conjunction irl but this SkyView app can show me where their positions are from where I stand. Imagine the world before ours!

[Suri W @SuriSawStars]

I don’t think I’m a doomist. I hope 2021 will be better than 2020 but, guys, I gotta say, it doesn’t look good.

This year has been super messed up. Bracing for the shitshow that might come in the following weeks. What else is there to do? There are things beyond our control. It’s not being defeatist; it’s being realistic. Look for ways to adapt to the new future.

@DarkTowerRadio @StephenKing @juliacmarchese @ka_tetof19 @2guysdarktower @stephenkingcast @LosersClubPod @DarkTowerPod @MightStephen @Kingcast19 @JPellegrini1983 @RichardChizmar I really love From a Buick 8. It’s a strange tale of a strange world told in a smattering of perspectives by people who sound like they could be real people. And at the heart of the story is boy trying to make sense of of the kind of person his father was.

Watched Grease on Netflix and I’ve got to say it did not age well. But in some way, it did: take away the now-questionable actions and you’ll find that they stem from essentially the same needs that we’ve had for so, so long -the need to belong, to feel loved and to love.
