  • I’m just a very jaded freeze avoidant who’s met enough people and read enough history to see the patterns.

    I know what happens when people think they are better than others and what they do when have power over those they see as being beneath them. You know it too. Everybody does, it’s the world around us and the world in our history books.

    But yeah I am a misanthrope, you’re right on that front. I’m too tired to do much but occasionally rant online about how much we suck and how fucked the future is though, so I’m not some millitant moron with a quest, lol. Chronic fatigue and a disability that fucks with my ability to talk/interact with folk irl have basically taken care of that ever happening, not that I believe it would do anything but make me look stupid if I tried tho. And that’s not to mention all the trauma that’s left me so freeze state avoidant.

    I don’t know how comforting you find learning about how fucked we are climate and resource wise, but if knowing this will all end soon is any sort of relief for you, read on because we’re rapidly running out of fresh water and arable land and current predictions suggest that by 2032, we’ll cross 450ppm or so of atmospheric c02.

    Phytoplankton, particularly those with calcium carbonate shells like coccolithophores, are highly sensitive to ocean acidification caused by rising cO2 levels.

    When atmospheric cO2 levels exceed 450-500 ppm, ocean pH decreases, making the water more acidic.

    This process reduces the availability of carbonate ions, which are essential for these organisms to build and maintain their exoskeletons.

    They produce 50 to 80% of the planets oxygen. And are a staple in the food system.

  • You are right, we are all mad here. I agree with you. Empathy and compassion is mocked and exploited, vegans are treated like a joke. Freedom fighters, activists for equality, climate and genocide protesters, etc, are treated like stupid and evil terrorists and enemies of the state.

    Our species sucks and we fully deserve this climate apocalypse we’ve created.

    We are predisposed to be cruel and greedy locusts, who build and support systems of inequality with undeservingly powerful leaders who only ever lust for war/more. This is the story of nearly every human civilisation we have history for. Those who strived for a better civilisation are destroyed by those who want conquest, money, power, a leg up with their gods, etc.

    I hope beyond hope that we fully die out before any of us get off world in any meaningful way to propagate yet more obscenities. It’s stupid to think that there aren’t trillionaire funds currently working on this, I don’t think it was just a punchline in Don’t Look Up.

    And I also hope that maybe one day, billions of years from now, when the earth has had time to heal from the damage we have caused, something better than us could evolve here.

    We’re not all health food and exercise obsessed just because we don’t consume animal products.

    Even the fattest vegans are likely healthier than their equivalently sized meat and dairy consuming counterparts though as processed animal products are carcinogens.

    Oh hey, I’m vegan too! High five for being ethical and eating well.

    I have the extra bendy with some unstable joints condition too, (that the doctor wouldn’t diagnose as Ehlers-Danlos because it’s too popular on ticktock with young women right now, despite my being in my mid thirties and I quote, “impressively flexible, does that hurt?”…) but I’d not considered rheumatism yet. Thank you for this information.

    I though I was dealing with autism burnout for years at first but it’s been nearly 8 now since it hit, and for most of that all I had the energy for was weekly food prep and showers, so changing my diet was the easiest thing to try to see if it would help. Cutting out dairy was a huge improvement for energy and wheat has been on par with that when nothing else- carbs, fodmap, there were others my memory still sucks, was.

    Ok I’m starting to feel weird talking about myself so much on the internet. It was nice to find another going through similar. I’m sending you well wishes for energy on your adventures and for luck with doctors.

    I’m in a similar place with chronic fatigue and realising how much better I feel without wheat. Not quite at the stage to be going outside on adventures again yet, but it’s still pretty wild how much of a difference it’s made.

    That head full of cotton wool brain fog and numbness in my body that I was experiencing before is gone, and the brain fog I still have is just the heavy tired kind that isn’t anywhere as disabling. My whole body feels so much lighter and clearer now.

    And the only thing that’s changed in the last few months is removing wheat from my diet.

    So many people are reporting similar experiences in regards to this too, I think we’ve really fucked up something agriculture related (amongst everything else) what with all the poor soil management, microplastics and pollution.
