Im tired, I don't think the drs at the hospital really got what I meant when I said I'm tired of everything
Like it doesn't matter how much I sleep, how much I relax, doing mindfulness and shit. I'm just tired, tired of having to put effort into feeling neutral much less happy, tired of having to work so hard to feel kind of normal, tired of knowing that ill always struggle with this.
They do their best, they helped, but at the end of the day I'm tired of having to work so damn hard just to survive.
In some weird way going to the psych ward is like a break from the world. I can be as sad, miserable and exhausted as I feel with no one telling me to stop being lazy, to just put in the work, that I can't stop living. I don't want to be lazy. I dont want to do nothing and be a freeloader and just take, take, take, take. I dont know how not to be.
I want to get better, to be happy and healthy and look forward to the future, but what do I have to look forward to?
A world thats falling apart and burning? A job that I don't think ill be able to do? A career stopped before it begins because of the shit in my brain? A wedding ill probably never be able to afford without my dad there to walk me down the isle? A mum i love but don't like that probably hates me and is tired of dealing with my shit, who will eventually get fed up and kick me to the curb? It feels like resentment boiling over, blame and irritation and regret. A house i will never buy or will fall to pieces around me? The endless days of the same thing over and over again? Vacations ill never have? Family who ill never know? Hearjng all the sordid details over the phone from a mother tired and resentful? Holding ***** and ***** and **** back from all they can be?
What bright future should I be looking forward to? What light at the end of the tunnel is there in a world on fire?
I love my friends and I don't want to hurt them. I know that pain, but still the thoughts haunt me. They would move on, be sad but grow old and live good lives, they can survive without me, it will hurt but they are strong. I'm not, strong, surviving, okay. Not really.
Im tired and more than anything I just want to sleep.
But sleep ends. And its never enough. I want it to be enough.

adults blaming gen z for “not caring about climate change and not doing anything to try and help” when they’re the ones who actually have at least some POWER to help prevent climate change and they’re the ones who are producing more carbon emissions than us

Kim Stafford: How to make money
Sell munitions to nations at war. Sell relief supplies
for distribution at war. Fly diplomats around to talk
about war. Pay speech-writers to equivocate about war.
Drill for oil to burn the sky. Design a whole economy
based on oil. Talk about energy independence instead
of climate chaos. Invest heavily in the short view.
Pump sugar into the food chain. Flavor the food chain
with sugar,…

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday said the world is on a “highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator” in opening remarks at the COP27 climate change summit in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt.
Guterres warned the clock was ticking in the fight to stop the most disastrous effects of climate change and that the world is “losing” as greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures continue to rise.
“Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator,” Guterres said. “It is the defining issue of our age. It is the central challenge of our century. It is unacceptable, outrageous and self-defeating to put it on the back burner.”
The COP27 conference began on Sunday, with world leaders gathering once again to discuss how to limit greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the world from warming to global average temperatures of 1.5 degrees Celsius, a mark already fast approaching.
The COP26 conference last year saw promises made to slash emissions from leading nations but few policies in place to achieve them.
The conference also comes amid a historic drought in the U.S., deadly heat waves and catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, a sign that the disastrous effects of climate change are already here.
World leaders are expected to talk target goals to reduce emissions while also discussing the idea of wealthy countries paying climate reparations to poorer nations.
Guterres on Monday said world crises, such as the war in Ukraine, are further complicating the fight against climate change, but that nations should not deter from addressing “climate chaos.”
“Indeed, many of today’s conflicts are linked with growing climate chaos. The war in Ukraine has exposed the profound risks of our fossil fuel addiction,” he said. “Today’s crises cannot be an excuse for backsliding or greenwashing. If anything, they are a reason for greater urgency, stronger action and effective accountability.”
The U.S. passed the Inflation Reduction Act over the summer, which includes around $369 billion to implement clean energy. The White House said that investment puts the nation on track to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent below 2005 levels in 2030.

We are joined by Antony Loewenstein — author of The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World — to discuss his extensive reporting on the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the policing tactics and surveillance technologies that are tested on Palestinians before sold as part of lucrative global export industry, and how the dynamics of occupation never stay within their cordoned zones but always expand to capture increasingly more people and places.
This came out five months ago, so before the current conflict. It was very enlightening and shattered a lot of the perceptions I had grown up with around Israel. Particularly, Israel's history of coopering with brutal regimes and their selling their skills and technology to the highest bidder. Oftentimes as a middle-man for the United States.

Nothing should be the way that it was even 5 years ago, and definitely not the way that it was 10 years ago. Everything around us is different. We are different. And everybody needs to come to grips with that and it needs to happen quickly, because the only way to live with the way we’ve changed is to change the way we live.

After work yesterday i tried to catch up on the news andclicked betwween a bunch of reports of New York City flooding.
The scale of many environmental crises this year are hard to fathom. I struggle to imagine more than 43 million acres burnt in Canadian wildfires. It's likely fires will smolder through the winter, something I hadn't considered before.
Looking over this excellent Times-Picayune reporting, my mental-jukebox pulled up the Jaws Theme.
I went bed early without supper. I know that hiding my head in the sand--or bed covers--isn't a sound plan.

The fact that cigarette companies exist is fucking dystopian and a sign of the failure of capitalism as an ideology- cigarettes are a product that undeniably caused a bunch of different cancers, we've all seen the tobacco death stats on the back of cig cartons smokers have, and yet. And yet, for some reason instead of saying "zero businesses should be selling cancer causing products to their customers, certainly not when those cancer causing products are so dangerous even the smoke of the product causes cancers in the people around smokers. Businesses have zero right to cause a massive health crisis in the population like this when their only function is to make money- you cannot give people cancer for profit."
Like you'd assume giving people cancer for money would be some kind of fucked dystopian novel that'd get ripped on for being way too over the top and unrealistic but no, we literally live in such a morally bankrupt capitalist brain rotted society that we think selling cancer is fine, we won't do anything about a set of companies that exist solely to get customers addicted to their highly dangerous product for profit. Instead we'll act like it's smokers who need to take responsibility for the industry that's exploiting them. Fucking disgusting if you ask me, that we're more okay with companies giving people cancer than we are with governments giving people welfare.
