For those of you who have trouble getting up early as is demanded by capitalist societies, including school kids:

“Up to 30 percent of humans are hardwired night owls. Melatonin doesn’t accumulate in our brains until much later, sometimes as late as 2 or 3 am. There’s an evolutionary reason for it. Back in the Paleolithic days, humanity needed certain people to stay up at night and guard the tribe.”

From Jessica Wildfire’s (@jessicawildfire) blog OK Doomer, “The Ugly Truth About Sleep”:

Seven years after I recorded it, the lyrics to “When Mom Was Young” have never been truer. Despite all additional information humankind has gathered over that time, humans produce *more* CO₂, not less; buy *more* SUVs, not fewer; travel *more*, not less; and criminalise those who protest and demand the 2016 Paris Climate Accords be fulfilled (like the courageous young people from the “Last Generation”) rather than those in power who refuse to fulfill the Paris Climate Accords because they are in the pockets of Big Oil.

For those who don’t find it obvious, the “Mom” the song refers to is our mother Earth. The basis for the rap part is a mash-up of Edvard Grieg’s “Åses dþd” (“The Death of Åse”) from “Peer Gynt” and the lead melody of the song. Here’s the rap lyrics:

Little do we notice, little do we see
Patient’s in a coma, we still can’t agree
To get her tired body to the ICU
Still we don’t act on the simple truth

Our mom is dying of our carelessness
We beat her, choke her, cause her airlessness
We still exploit her though we do know better
We act like seven billion mad hatters

Full song is on Bandcamp: babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/w

— “But everyone else is doing it, too! Whether I do it or don’t, doesn’t change a thing!”

— Well, if you stop doing it and then communicate that and why you stopped doing it, that might make others think — and possibly change their behaviour, too. This is true for any action, be it flying, owning a car, buying fast fashion, or using to-go cups with plastic lids.

Every personal decision to do better might set off a ripple effect that might lead to change on a societal, even global scale.

(This is not to say that we could possibly save the world with personal actions alone; that requires political decisions above all. But these are based on the overall public sentiment, which in turn can be influenced by each of us.)

A crumbling education system
A decimated healthcare system
Laughable public transportation options
Rapidly rising food costs
extortionate housing costs
rising gas bills
But Dougie got us beer in 7-11. Rejoice, plebsđŸ˜©

Siamo forse cani che cercano la ricompensa, il premio dal padrone per fare qualcosa? Per il croccantino a sedere, per il croccantino dai la mano, soggiogati dalla catena della ricompensa economica stiamo drasticamente svalutando le origini della coscienza e dell'umanitĂ , della societĂ  umana nella sua interezza, non siamo fatti per obbedire agli ordini in cerca di un premio, quelli saranno forse i cani.

Ursula Von der leyen i la comissiĂł europea derrapant i relliscant en el tema energĂštic. Aproven l'Ășs contaminant del carbĂł. I per tal de no fer les paus amb RĂșssia i seguir consumint gas, prefereixen obligar a les empreses no essencials a tallar el consum i limitar la seva activitat si cal...

@damvfl il manque dans ta liste de tags. De plus, Ă  titre personnel je me sens beaucoup moins coupable de la situation merdique dans laquelle on est que les entreprises qui pourrissent le monde et exploitent les gens. D'oĂč le dernier tag
