From Jessica Wildfire's OK, Doomer blog, "The World Has Already Ended:"

"That's not the worst part. It's not the collapse. It's not the death of our hopes and dreams. It's the fact that we're not allowed to grieve it and move on. Imagine trying to grieve the loss of a friend or a parent when half of everyone you know won't even admit they're dead. Imagine you're stuck in a real-life version of Weekend at Bernie's. That's what we're doing. It's the norms that force us to engage in acts of cultural necrophilia. It's having to pretend for our bosses, our coworkers, our friends, and our relatives. It's watching everyone we know screw a corpse."

I've recently been confronted with how unprepared we really are for #ClimateCollapse. My workplace has been organizing an in-person event that was recently rescheduled due to #ClimateDistruption (nevermind that #CovidIsNotOver and there are new variants on the rise 🙄​). Instead of using this as an opportunity to think about the future of our work and #ClimateChange, everyone is making pithy statements about how this disaster is such a tragedy, but no one is making the connection that these tragedies are going to keep happening and we can't just continue working as though the world hasn't changed.

More and more, the work I do feels so meaningless, especially when it depends on continued #Ecocide and furthering a #pandemic by hosting all sorts of events that require people to fly, using up #FossilFuels and spreading #COVID.
