Quote of the day (from @pluralistic )

"We’re in the polycrisis, a widening gyre of climate emergency, inequality, infrastructure neglect, rising authoritarianism and zoonotic plagues.
But that’s not the bad part."

So what is the bad part?

THE BAD PART IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A POSITION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ARE ALL TELLING YOU THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

@tcnicholls @pluralistic or they are telling us to do things that make very little difference (recycling) because they let corporations make the laws, so they pollute and then tell us it is our fault (In the U.S. at least)
@AU3Engine @tcnicholls @pluralistic this is definitely part of it. So much plastic and we don't even have the infrastructure to recycle it. It's altering ecosystems and is showing up everywhere, but yeah, it's up to us to do something about it.
