game over

I woke up this morning with the certainty of humanity's extinction in my mind. Like a sour taste in my mouth, all of our petty, repulsive habits and weaknesses came flooding into my waking thoughts and reminded me of a thousand reasons why we will never survive ourselves...nor do we deserve to. All of this because I slept on a bed of bad news regarding the newest terminology for our sins..."climate breakdown". Because we can't stop using fossil fuels and because we just can't believe that we are not invincible and because the only humans humble enough to accept their own weakness and mortality are not the same ones running the world and because we are a pathetic and superficial bunch of wankers, we will die and likely take most every other living thing with us.

So, drag myself out of bed and brew myself another K-cup (cause what's one more piece of plastic in a landfill), burn natural gas because I don't want to put on a sweater, run hot water into the sea to warm my cup, eat up power through the computer to "connect" and play music and accept that the machine is too big, too broken to attempt any change or progress. To my admittedly limited knowledge, there has never been a human civilisation that was not brutal, vicious and confrontational to the point of their own demise; we will be no different. I just hope my children get to live out their lives happy, free and healthy before the all the shit hits the fan.
