Time to contact our superannuation providers. Their investments are our business & whatever plunder they support - whether fossil fuels, armaments, AI or El0n - we are complicit. The tiny profits coming to our accounts are miasma from the obscenity of the ologarchs’ excess.

All life is part of a larger system & we’re part of a food chain whether we like it or not. There is no such thing as moral purity. As with eating meat or not, driving cars or not, flying or not, how we create our livelihoods are choices to be made with our eyes open.

Until we recognise our own enmeshment we will continue to project our denial & guilt onto all those evil others. It’s not just them. We are all of us 🌏

What we can do is recognise we are part of a system & aim to do the least possible harm. Befriend ourselves, practice listening & cultivate kindness. Find ways to work together to effect change.

What they want us to do is look away. To despair. Distract ourselves from discomfort with clickbait & scapegoating while we consume endless stuff to quiet the unhappiness within.

Don’t fall for it.

This is how civilisations collapse. Every part is connected. Where politicians fail to act to slow accelerating climate change & ameliorate its effects they do so by choice. In whose interests do our leaders govern?

Look at our billionaire-owned news media, the other outlets in thrall to them (like the guardian) & at the stories being promoted through the socials. It’s all clickbait distraction. Those who see their profit as dependent on accelerating plunder want us to be distracted. They want us to lose our capacity for critical thinking & analysis. Where we see the patterns, they want us to despair.

It’s all going well, for them.

We don’t have to fall for it. We need each other.

Dismal Butler is making an experimental double batch of Purple Haze for Dismal Wizard and Dismal Dog to share.

DB forgot that doubling the liquid requires double the time for reduction to Purple Haze.

Breakfast will be late. And my share has to cool. I expect minion will call it “brunch”

Yeah .. we #DIY Kidz had it all figured out. We had the whole alternative to #NeoLiberalism ready & working.

But all the other Kids wanted the good income and the big house and the fast car and the great vacation and the safe retirement. That went sooo wrong.

Now everybody got nothing but #Billionaires and #Despair.

We're like half-way through with our lives & never had a chance to show how fucking good our plan was.
