now you know who you are messing with

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

Reporting in from Australia - the cold and snow in Christmas songs and decorations and all that have never been relevant to us. We’ve got plenty of our own problems with climate change, but “oh no the Christmas songs will become weird” is not one of them.

Hey this is kind of weirdly aggressive of a reply for a post that was kind of just about my own experience with how we used to have snow on Christmas when I was a child.

whenever I’m talking to people who are bad at eye contact we end up defaulting to standing side-by-side with our hands folded behind our backs as though we’re Shakespearean actors cheating out towards downstage
