I'm an absolutely dedicated follower of sunshine.

ok. enough suffering now. i am seeking out delight

There was a time most American cities almost never saw a blue sky. Brown and yellow smog was the norm and rivers were garbage sludge that are now teeming with fish. People don't know that government environmental regulation actually did succeed, that the EPA really worked as intended. Now it gets eroded because people think it isn't making a big difference, and they think that because they haven't seen what it's still holding back.

stoicism won’t save you. pick up a hobby where you make something with your hands

The votes on this post. Oh. A poem in poll form, interactive art, the fact we can see how the other people reading it felt. im. this is really good.

i’ve been so well-behaved i deserve to light things on fire now

actually im doing really well except for the fact that everything makes me sad and the things that dont make me sad make me angry. but other than that im fine

there’s no permanent self and that’s pretty cool

it’s crazy how when you’re 11 you think wow nationalism is the root of all evil and war is despicable and religion is the opiate of the masses and misogyny is everywhere and climate change is our most dire threat. and you start to grow up and you think well surely it will become more nuanced to me, surely there must be a reason adults arent breaking down wailing in the streets due to the cruelty of this world. and then you become an adult and you think wow nationalism is the root of all evil and war is despicable and religion is the opiate of the masses and misogyny is everywhere and climate change is our most dire threat

per my last desperate howl at the heavens,

i will try again tomorrow. i will try again and again and again, because that’s all i can really do.
