national butterfly center, us wall, cynicism
so a nature preserve and butterfly sanctuary in texas is under threat of having the fucking border wall built through it, against its will
a challenge to the construction was rejected by scotus because of course, let the govt ignore its own laws, right
the carrizo/comecrudo tribe is protesting because that's definitely gonna work
guys, im so tired... happiness and hope are getting hard to find, and it feels like nothing i can do will have any effect
bitter cynicism (uspol)
when every corporation isn't actively trying to kill or brainwash you, it's trying to cheat you out of your money, time, and agency in every possible way
the rise of outward hate is deemed profitable and carefully nourished and marketed to
if you want to do something about it, the increasingly heavily armed cops are here to keep you in line

bitter cynicism (uspol)
in the past, all i've ever really cared about is people. i want my friends to be happy. i want good-faith humanity to survive. but there's been so much bad news lately, and many of my friends have been having so much trouble just existing... and the culprit is this web of big abstract interconnected evils, the skeleton and nervous system of moloch, and i don't know if it can be impaired without just regenerating.
can't help feeling like the writing is already on the wall.
