#our planet is on fire

[fandomloverangel]

I feel so very frustrated when I am asked what job I want, because how do I explain that my dream job doesn't exist yet, and at the rate our planet is dying, may never exist at all. How do I explain that I want to explore the cosmos, but that we cannot go that far? That I want, to quote Star Trek, "To boldly go where no man has gone before", but I can't, and will never be able to, because I have a faulty heart, and poor vision, and the human race does not have the technology to correct that or to go farther than a planet away.

My dream job would be to explore the universe, but that's not realistic so I'll settle for some office job that will drain me of my desire for learning and curiosity, while watching my planet wither away in the hands of those who do not care for anything other than numbers that only have value due to them saying so. When the planet is dead, all the money in the world won't save you. I want to reach for the stars, and see the vast emptiness of the void of space, and be able to ponder my existence while looking out into the nothingness.

But that is locked behind money, and the people hoarding it away, just to cause more war and strife, rather than using it to create equal ground for everyone and reach up and out together. So I will sit here, and twiddle my thumbs, and go to my barely above minimum wage job, and work almost every day, and I will look up at the stars every time I can, and wonder, "What would it be like to be among them?"

Spider normally: I'ma chill with my friends/siblings all day and do dumb stuff 😀.

Spider 2 nanoseconds after a single cell of his body comes into contact with a fire extinguisher: Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds ☠.

KSSKSKKS I love this joke that if he even loOKs at a fire extinguisher, it's over for everyone. Like the Metkayina are all like oh my god, how could this small human child have taken down this huge metal warship?? And Spider just goes "There was this fire extinguisher-" and the Sully's and Norm and Max are all like "OH that makes so much sense, moving on."

Ao'nung bullying Kiri and Lo'ak and Lo'ak's like "You better back the fuck up or I'm handing Spider a fire extinguisher."

#this is how we can end the war #he's like the na'vi's nuclear threat #you better get off our planet or norm is building spider fire extinguisher jet packs #miles spider socorro #spider socorro #norm spellman #max patel #ao'nung #kiri sully #lo'ak sully #avatar #avatar the way of water #james cameron avatar #melissa on avatar (cameron) #melissa og

people think i'm "rude" for being too blunt/too honest but if i took some kind of uncontrollable truth-telling serum i would be actually suicide-inducingly horrible to be around. i'm honest but trust that i take care to be much more polite, fair, and controlled at most times than I want to. you could not take 5 minutes of me blurting out everything that goes on in my brain in gruesome detail, especially pertaining to You specifically. kindness and courtesy are neither a weakness nor proof of some inherent purity. they are a bore of a chore. and while it is an incredibly irritating chore it is required in order to exist (less) hassled by society.

idk. it's truly annoying to spend much effort and energy on all of everything alone. and after accepting no help will come your way, no ackmowledgement or reward for your work comes either. and not only. instead comes punishment. punishment for the grave sin of not being good enough at pretending like i love small talk and not being good enough at kissing ass and not being good enough at neither keeping my head down and doing nothing nor making waves. not being good enough no matter which way you turn, what weight you pull, how much pain you opt to ignore in favour of pushing onward. there is no prize, no safe space, there is only the anger in the meaningless and base fight to survive. hatred, death, despair, the deep wells of agony. and within it all a part of you screams itself hoarse and then quiet to break the dam. at such high capacity, it doesnt matter of its toxic sludge or just water. "just water" kills everything in its path. tsunamis, typhoons, tropical storms, rainstorms, deadly hail... a little bit builds up and in the right place it can be cried out, or redirected, or simply evaporate in the warm, kind, invigorating rays of the sun. but what then if there is no place for that kind of thing. you are the river above a city and you grow and you grow and come the next storm you may just flatten it all to nothing with everyone inside. the dam allows no space to move or grow smaller. you grow so big you don't know if it's even a river anymore. what you are is some strange unnatural body with a riptide so intense it rivals the wildest ocean tides.

i remember the time i almost got swallowed by a storm riptide clearly. it took just a touch of the water and i am being pulled by a force stronger than anything i have felt before or again, something wild and so much bigger. a storm that no longer wants or has any purpose or even one clear cause... without reason, it doesn't *want* to destroy ships and tug people to their crushed deaths. no. it just-- will. it will do that. it has no will but it will kill you. it will destroy everything. what a beautiful terror. but why in me. tugging tugging tugging. sometimes i wish my weak little kid body got seized by the riptide and that i could not break free at all. that would be an epic death.

#rambles #someone promised me a visit to a rage room!!!! they must deliver!!!!!! #i must admit i do look down on the one that rages like a traumatized little bitch-- dog #at every little thing #the one who-- in the real world-- is too angry and stupid even to shut its mouth when it kills itself #here i am with all this anger you put inside me and its enough to genuinely want to wipe our planet dead #and here i am calmly listening to you air your pathetic grievances while i think of smashing your skull in with this hammer #and you. you... like a little baby given power. #and here i fucking am taking it and trying so hard to maintain. as if it wouldnt be such a relief to just let go #as if i havent envied you for your senseless retarded pursuit of being so unapologetically terrible to people #as if i wouldnt do anything to trade our minds and places and be the stupid eternal toddler #people think the things i occasionally say or do are anger. it is not #how many switches will you flip and buttons will you push until you choose the wrongest one yet #how much longer must i withstand this pressure with my hands under me and my teeth pressed firmly together #how many more times do i have to stop in the middle of acting on instinct. instinct to survive and fight #instinct that will destroy indiscriminately. #if its like this for long enough... do you think water can become fire? youve heard of hell freezing over but have you heard of earth #becoming hell? #again i cant sleep. the energy is suffocating. i need to be held tightly and to tussle till my body gives out #no i need to feel bones crack under me.

Give me your Switch, I'll complete that Three Houses level in such a way that Dimitri gets sent away to a nice tomato farm and lives out the rest of his days in peace and comfort, instead of having that other thing happen to him.

marry me

#oh to be on a tomato farm with dimitri living out our lives in peace and comfort #peace and love on planet earth #fire emblem #three houses #anon

I do think it’s important to remember that the settlers are weak. They have not faced hardship and have lived in the lap of luxury with the benefits of imperialism all around them. They do not know how to handle hardship, which is why they lash out so hard when there’s even a minor backlash. But it just shows how vulnerable they are, and how unprepared they are for the real world

#like imperialism will not save you when the planet is burning #it will not save you from the fires that will engulf the homes you stole #nor will it save you from our rage #my posts

my loves. people who hate a certain popular ship (that's based on canon rather than entirely fanon, to be clear) don't do it bc they genuinely think the characters are incompatible or smth. most of the time it's just them being tired of seeing it, or simply preferring a different ship with these characters more. attacking or publicly mocking people for not seeing what you see in a ship is just mean spirited and pointless. let them be, tag your posts so they can avoid them if you want to, and do your own thing. your enjoyment of the ship shouldn't be affected by its haters

#based on a skk thread I've seen today! i get where ppl there come from but. it's just a bit pointless innit? #I'd say it's more than pointless tbh. it's just adding fuel to the fire. proving the point that shippers are annoying #let's all just mind our business and enjoy what we enjoy yeah? :0 no need to get at each other's throats. peace and love on planet earth

The most unrealistic part about exRID is that people actually got mad about Jazz killing a cop.

#squiggposting #this is a shitpost but also that whole plot point genuinely pissed me off because it was so fucking stupid lmao #i would get it if it was framed as like 'he killed a human being!' but like #every single time the incident was brought up it was like 'jazz killed a cop he killed a cop he killed a cop he killed a cop' #to the point that journalists in fucking MEXICO were pissed off about a cop in THE USA getting killed #while he was firing on a group of injured and surrendering autobots no less #and like that ties into the whole 'autobots bad' plot which was stupid in itself #ah yes one single autobot killed one single cop in defense of his friends who were injured and surrendering #that's totally the same as the decepticons killing LITERALLY A BILLION HUMANS IN A PLANET WIDE RAID #anyways let's help the decepticons build their totally peaceful space commune in jupiter's orbit #that's totally peaceful and they definitely won't use it to attack us #because we apparently don't trust the decepticons but we do trust them enough to.... #help them BUILD A FUCKING BASE IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM???? #AFTER THEY ALREADY KILLED 1 BIL HUMAN BEINGS??? AND ONE OF THE DECEPTICONS ASKING US TO HELP BUILD THEIR COMMUNE #IS ONE OF THE FUCKING GUYS WHO WAS ON THE GROUND HELPING THE INVASION AND KILLING PEOPLE???

ok we know the space theme, we love it, but there is SO much potential now that there’s 4.

fire, earth, water, and air.

wands, pentacles, swords, and cups.

also, keeping with the space theme, our solar system is split into two groups of planets.

two groups of 4.

#hmmm #limited life #trafficblr #traffic smp #methinks martyn is fire/wands pearl is earth/pentacles scott is water/swords and grian is air/cups #kinda bc the mean gills and skyblings both being opposing element pairs #has so much potential #limlife spoilers #limited life spoilers #oh my god i just realized how perfect the first four planets are #grian is mercury. the closest to the sun. named for the roman messenger god known for his winged shoes. #scott is venus. hottest planet. roman goddess of love. #pearl is earth. so painfully human. gaia is violent and powerful but in a way that is so pearl. #martyn is mars. people have been comparing him to this already i dont even need to explain #watch ren win the next season and be jupiter id go feral #ALSO LOOK WHAT I FOUND FOR WHAT THESE PLANETS MEAN IN ASTROLOGY #Mercury is about a quick wit quick thinking possibilities opinions reasoning and the ability to rationalize things #Venus rules our sentiments what we value and the pleasure we take in life. #The Earth represents your physical location and dharma or sense of purpose. It's the mirror image of the sun. #[mars is] all about aggression survival and animal instinct #im gonna combust PLEASE SEE MY VISION #grian #inthelittlewood #pearlescentmoon #scott smajor #edit: #GUYS. FOUR HORSEMEN. #HOW COULD I FORGETTT FOUR HORSEMEN METAPHORS IS MY THINGG

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.

#winters ramblings #my parents have been smokers for as far back as i remember #id really like to livht some ceos on fire for putting all these people at risk OF CANCER and like 72 billion kinds #so they can make MONEY. what kind of morally vacuous black hole of a person thinks thats acceptable?? #and they LOBBIED to hide any effects of smoking second hand effects included. fucking HORRIFYING #the fact that businesses do this a LOT- like bp shell and exxon all covering up climate change to make more money?? #capitalism is a failure because people will kill each other or even THE ONLY VIABLE PLANET TO LIVE ON IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM #just to make money. like you can tell me about how horrible other economic systems are all fucking day #and frankly id be inclined to ahree with you on plenty. but capitalism is not a viable choice either #when THIS is the result. selling health crises to the population and killing the planet. name me another economic system thats done THAT #ill fucking wait because capitalism is it. embarrassing that people will defend this system #even more embarrassing that we hand wring over fst people being an epidemic to the point of systemic oppression #because THEY need to take responsibility for the health crisis they allegedly cause despite reporting going to the drs FAR less #than thin people so idk how theyre astrain on health care especially in the us where people literally die before going to emerg but ok #THEY need to be responsible for THEIR health crisis despite losing weight long term being NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE #but tobacco companies can sell cancer to the point if being a WAY MORE SOLVABLE HEALTH CRISIS #but we cant do anything because being disgustingly cruel and punative to individuals is fine but oh dear LORD #how could we EVER treat businesses with more impunity than individuals because they cause INFINITY MORE DAMAGE?? #we couldn't POSSIBLY treat a structure of institutional power like it actually HAS power thatd break the illusion its all CONSUMERS faults

Thinking about the unique circumstances that led to life developing on Earth and the eventual creation of fertile soil and greenery, the growth of blossoming plants and towering trees, of soft grass and verdant green leaves that almost seem to glow as the sun shines through them

And I think of how we’ve yet to find another planet out there that has definitely undergone a similar process. That for all we know at this current point in time, this blue, watery rock with all its flowers and plants and trees, is the only one of its kind.

That in all of the vastness of space we might live on the one rock where wood exists, and in all of what little we’ve glimpsed of the universe, we share our home with something so rare and precious and beautiful that it might cease to exist anywhere else altogether if we let it die.

#Life worked hard to grow here and we don’t have the time to be trying to kickstart that process on another planet #we’ve got what we’ve got here and we could preserve it for as long as our own species manages to persist if we could just #start protecting it. Start actually valuing how precious an rare and irreplaceable it is #with climate change causing more and more fires and deforestation ravaging the wild forests #And the effect this all has on the production of food and the survival of animals and people #the rage I feel for those in high places who have sat stubbornly and let this happen despite evidence and fact #the fact that little people like me can and do try to do what they can on an individual level but that it ultimately needs the Big Changes #to have any real effect.. #the fact I’ve heard about all this stuff since I was tiny and we should be further along in combating it by now #I’m just … looking at that post about the big trees has me feeling some kind of way

I’ve had to deal with more petulant, babbling white people in the last month than I thought possible. Look, I’m a white suburbanite too, that doesn’t give me free reign to stomp my feet and scream and throw tantrums over the dumbest fucking shit I stg

#husband is going to run for HOA board because only one poor beleaguered lady is on it right now #and while at our first meeting we watched her get cussed out by this insane entitled white man who didn’t want to pay a fine #coupled with the sperm-count obsessed incel and climate-denying octogenarian at our town hall #and I’m like #white people wtf is wrong with us #fucking grow up #the planet is on fire and I know toddlers more mature about it than you

hey if you're the kind of person who hates and thinks all 'gross' animals like snakes, spiders, bugs, deep sea creatures etc should die, please unfollow me; because i hate you

#if you are the kind of person to say 'kill it with fire' kys #im being so serious if you dont respect native species and the diversity on our planet #i do not respect or like you #you dont have to LOVE them or even like them but have some level of decency at least
