In Space and Time

tbh i do think that the concept of other people being viewed as "NPCs" and the growing inability to recognize other human beings as living things with thoughts and motivations is linked to the capitalistic need to scrub everything of what makes it challenging and alive, to turn everything into a consumable, to baby proof the entirety of the world and make it into the largest, coldest nest of individualist comforts where you never need to feel bad but you'll never feel warmth either

warmth and intimacy only exist within proximity to discomfort and human ugliness and i do not think it is a coincidence we are being considered the loneliest generation while also having the most streamlined access to emotional intimacy bandaids

it's meee I'm your guardian angel hiiiiii 😇 okay🙏 so. in about six months, you're gonna die of starvation. 🥺 and if I don't protect you, I will get: #fired! 🫢 and that is No Good 🙅‍♀️ hahaaa So. 🙏 I looked into causes of starvation, and it turns out: Your death is totally preventable! 😯 Uh oh! 😆 There's more than enough food to sustain you without interfering with anyone else's survival, but you're not allowed to have it! 🤨 Whaaat? 🤷‍♀️ Apparently, your death is premeditated by thousands of things called "shareholders." So. 🙏 I've been killing people,
