Brey, I can't explain it any simpler than this: Planet is on fire, we know billions of ppl are going to die, we know it's capitalism and the fossil fuels it depends on that's doing this. And what are your leaders doing? What is your state spending money on? Solving this problem? Absolutely not. They're arming themselves to the teeth, militarizing security forces, criminalizing protest, hardening borders, increasing the size of their armies. You have to be a dipshit not to see what time it is.

Starting Blogumentation Let’s be real. I am not a great example of writing regularly. Or even occasionally. I am out right terrible at it. However, I was recently listening to an episode of Changelog & Friends podcast where Jamie Tanna (who has a website) was talking about Blogumentation and this rang true with me. Among many other things in the podcast episode. Go listen, it is great. So what? I am going to take a stab at using this blog as my own blogumentation again.
