  • I mean yeah, we aren’t going extinct. But I’m starting to hear people talk about three degrees of warming as a more or less done deal and that’s fucking apocalyptic. I think it’s a near certainty that we’re going to see hundreds of millions of excess deaths minimum before the end of the century, just from climate change. Between the death throes of a nuclear-armed empire and of a global economic system, and the coming climate catastrophe, I don’t know what pieces will be left to pick up.


  • I’m supposed to be working on my honours project right now (mature student) but even though it’s a subject I find genuinely fascinating and an interesting and potentially novel project, I haven’t been able to put in more than about ten minutes in a day for a week or so. It’s maddening and ever fiber of my being wants to tell me it’s because I’m lazy rather than, y’know, diagnosed with ADHD.

    So yeah I can’t see myself being very “economically viable” any time soon. Part of me thinks I’m gonna end up working the fast food job I kinda hate for the rest of my life rather than ever getting a job in my field and it’s staggeringly depressing, especially after the last year of my BSc which was a slog and a half.
