"With the significant increase in deadly hurricanes, wildfires, droughts, heat waves, and floods, The Onion asked Americans how they would like to die in the #climateapocalypse, and this is what they said." https://www.theonion.com/americans-reveal-how-they-would-like-to-die-in-the-clim-1850771459/

All the stuff happening this year with the world as we know it collapsing before our eyes, as well as me becoming more active and vocally political has really had an impact on my mental health. How does everyone else manage it? There is never anything good, just human civilization entering the first state of collapse. My positive distraction takes:

The #climate future we have long feared is already here

In 2008, scientist James Lovelock predicted that it would take just 20 years for #ClimateBreakdown to truly be felt. Now it seems his prediction is coming true

I don't suggest that the #ClimateApocalypse can be prevented/survived by you starting a garden, but if you don't want to die hungry, START GARDENING NOW with a focus on learning what food crops thrive in the worst weather your climate zone offers right now. And then, if you can, secure a water supply system to get your garden through extended #drought and dire #heat. This doesn't have to be fancy; if you're able-bodied and live near a reliable body of water, a #yoke and two buckets may suffice.

This kicker from #nyt about the #wildfiresmoke in NY is going to haunt me. #ClimateApocalypse

This quote is also too good not to share and I desperately needed it today:

"If you suppose that it’s all your fault that your life feels stuck these days, that you feel powerless and hopeless, do you know what you’re really doing? You are assigning yourself a kind of omnipotence. You are saying that you should have the power to live some kind of ideal life—even in a time of stagnation, collapse, and decay. And so the natural result, when that life doesn’t happen, is to feel depressed, angry, to isolate yourself, sit there in intense, brooding, all-permeating judgment and condemnation."

"They have been told all their lives that their lives are solely their 'individual responsibility'—so it’s hardly a surprise. But their self-punishment is just mimicking the systems which make them feel worthless and powerless...It is not their fault, their choice, to live through times like these. It’s not their choice to be surviving a pandemic, a mass extinction, a planet dying, economies failing, taking it day by day."

There should be a #horror film about #climateapocalypse. Its essential that people will feel emotionally what a #climatecrisis looks like. With all kinds of mutants and frightening desolate nature which is horribly damaged due to #capitalist ineptitude.
