Does it ever seem utterly ridiculous that for a brief 50 years, we had nearly everything that every society on earth since the first creatures that could be considered human has yearned and worked and struggled and striven for...

And in that 50 years we just burned all our future to the ground? Poured petroleum on it and flipped the match? Ignored the screams of those who tried to persuade our society that we could live in moderation and give our children and our children's children a tilt at the same kind of bounteous existence...and just added another match or a dozen.

Sometimes I think how grateful I am to have lived at the apex of human civilisation. And then I am enraged that my nephews and nieces and their peers will never know this wild wealth of human thriving.

@jedsetter@aus.social it is very fast, which is a great thing when you want to shorten your commute.

But if you're not paying attention it's so easy to miss your stop!

I did it once on the metro at Chatswood, only looking up as the doors shut! Then the metro went through the tunnel on to North Ryde...

Yeah, that was a slightly longer trip home than I planned...

@justme@climatejustice.social @jmcrookston@mastodon.social I was thinking this, and wondering if they would test a range of homegrown heirloom varieties.

@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social I really need to have a tools-and-tea party.

Right now I feel like would rather all the systems collapse than have to live in a society where I am legally a "Less Than".

Because those comfortably on the top? Would be utterly lost without the peasantry. Those in the weeds, at groundlevel, growing from the subterranean levels and up? Would recover.

Not all of us, and that grieves me. But more of us would find ways to survive than the bn-class.

Anyway, that's my feelings right now. Facts need not apply cause I'm in a binary switch state of hope and despair.

Oh, I think I just worked out how I blew my back. It was the leaning over to my secondary laptop.

Goodbye Nian-Go.

I'm so sorry I failed you.

Breakfast: boiled egg, coffee (bought), white nectarine, white peach.

Help me, old fandom. You're my only hope.

I hate that I can't do research on a polarising figure (that I personally don't like) without triggering a billion algorithmic hooks.

The internet is well and truly borked.
