> Oilwell is a (fake) wellness app “to help you embrace climate chaos”
I love the way this lampoons DataFarming "wellness" apps, as well as making a bunch of points about climate change. This group have done a wide range of satirical websites like this;

There was a moment for #American #CollegeProtests to find #solidarity with Israelis marching in their streets against #Netanyahu.
Who knows if that window might still be open.

Should they? Yes.
Can they? Probably not.
Will they?🤞
Also, be #SeriousPeople and avoid playing shitty protest bingo.
