Let’s Have Some Fun in The Sun

"You can’t live your life, let alone enjoy it for that matter, if you are constantly thinking about the #ClimateApocalypse.” This is how the average human on the street today justifies their #apathy, whenever as a food scientist and plant biologist I sound the alarm about why food will disappear and what their children will experience in the near future: war, starvation, and death. This is the same type of human who would consider the #Gaza #genocide a total “mood killer”, and #fascism the type of “shit” that just happened to take place outside the toilet. Nothing they can do about it other than watch their step, in case they accidentally walk straight into their own fresh turd.

To properly seek change, one must change themselves first. Whatever your part is, the #apathy, the turning away, the #not #voting every other cycle, whatever, you are part of the problem. You're #not #a #victim. We're out in the middle of nowhere being ridiculous. It's the stupidest show ever.

Stevie Wonder
You haven’t done nothin’

This song still resonates and is amazing.

(Edited to put official version) and paraphrase this comment on his page saying that Stevie wrote this in response to Nixon, Watergate & Vietnam, it became a huge hit, & 2 days later Nixon resigned.

"There are entrenched gaps between working-class #boys & their peers in their levels of attainment at every stage of #education. Often, however, the #solutions for addressing this gap in attainment have roots in #assumptions & #stereotypes. These tend towards positioning working-class boys as somehow suffering from... #apathy, #laziness or a lack of #ambition... The #evidence does not back these stereotypes up."
What working-class boys need to succeed at school: respect and open conversations

Being a boy who expresses themselves can be a risky enterprise.

"Just because I fund #fascists doesn't mean I support #fascism"

Every dollar you spend is a vote for the fate of the world.

Ah, a brave band of keyboard warriors has taken up the Sisyphean task of breathing life into #GTK2 with... highly visible apathy! 😆 No stars, no forks, but hey, at least it has a catchy name that's as memorable as a sneeze. 🤦‍♂️

Respect is earned. Apathy is for free.

We really should stop using respect when we in fact mean apathy.

Has an opinion. Yea great. I don't give a fuck.
"I'm a monosexual streight white dude." Fine doesn't bother me.
Is 80 years old. Good for them, whatever.

Worked decades on making the world a little better. That's fucking great.

See that's the difference. Low effort, doesn't impact me = apathy.
High effort, maybe doesn't impact me directly but is a net plus for the world = respect.
