Ok hear me out: instead of all of us having to become extremely knowledgeable on a new infectious disease every 3-6 months, what if we got a large group of experts together and just put them in charge of giving us easy to understand health recommendations. They could also do things like track outbreaks and predict future concerns.
@beffybadbelly One time I wasn’t home when my roommate had a medical emergency. EMS kicked the door in and took her to the hospital. I went home, and our door sure was just left kicked in lol
If you haven’t figured it out by now, our entire government is a huge mafia who launders our tax payer money right back to themselves through foreign aid and endless wars.
They all hate you and could care less if you suffer and die horrible deaths, as long as they get dirty rich.
I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.
SERIOUS QUESTION: Do you ever really get overwhelmed by how our current reality is a genuine dystopian nightmare yet everyone still acts like it is completely normal ??
A truly intelligent species wouldn’t poison its own drinking water, strip away its topsoil, drive wildlife populations into decline, and create chronic illness through the very food system it depends on.
A bird has never paid rent to live in the sky. A tree has never paid to stand in a forest. The sun has never been charged for rising. The river has never paid to flow.
Yet humans spend their whole lives trying to earn permission to exist on earth
The Trump administration is opening up land for oil and gas drilling in or around:
—The Grand Canyon
—Zion National Park
—Joshua Tree National Park
—Arches National Park
—Grand Teton National Park
—Denali National Park
You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.
The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.
@repusnaketion Cowboy like me - I lost the love of my life two years ago, and it’s been my favorite song since. I keep his boots beneath my bed, and have “forever is the sweetest con” in ink on my arm.
