#btw go vegan its the single most effective thing an individual can do against climate change

[ugly-sweater]

something i think about a lot is the idea that the world is going to end. like, relatively soon. i want to be clear: that's not going to happen & you shouldn't think things are hopeless.

i see sentiments like, it doesn't really matter what i do because the world is going to end, or i shouldn't make long-term goals because society isn't long for this world and like. you're doing yourself & the people you love a disservice. the world isn't going to end.

the library of alexandria didn't burn down all at once. it was multiple fires and years of other disasters, bucreatic or not. we know fascism isn't a switch flipped but a creeping thing that puts its roots in and grows slowly. the world isn't going to end, but it will continue to get worse if we all give up on it. doomerism only helps the people you are opposed to.

i love the concept of utopianism. we might not, and honestly i truly believe we cannot, achieve a perfect society, but trying to make things better seems like a good ideology to have. having hope that things can change for the better is imperative actually. and you need to believe this world will keep going, and we will keep getting to try.

society is not going to collapse and a new kinder world be born out of the rubble. we have to make the world ourselves
