@tante Might write one anyway, but I'm very bad at gathering spoons for writing blog posts.

@ainmosni writing is hard. Takes a lot of spoons, I know

@tante yeah, but I really should try to do more of it, too many ideas that need to be shouted into the void.

It *could* be ethically sourced.

But no. They had to lead with theft, exploitation, labor suppression, and burning the planet.

Substitute "y'all" with authoritarian, greedy billionaires &corporations and their puppets in governments and parliaments, and I subscribe.
