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.

#one thing the October 7th attacks and the subsequent war in Palestine has demonstrated #is that despite Gaza being one of the most heavily surveilled places on earth #guarded with all of this advanced technology - drones and next-gen border walls #semi-automated turrets on check points #with all of these tools being sold to advertised to rich countries in preparation for future (probably climate) crises #none of it worked #none of was able to prevent an attack by people with decidedly less advanced technology #but were determined and organized #the Oct 7th Attack was a huge embarrassment not just for Israel's government and military and intelligence agencies #but for the Israeli's leviathan Tech Sector that dominates a huge chunk of their economy #Israeli Military #Big Tech #Military Industrial Complex #This Machine Kills #audio #podcasts #Imperialism #Israeli Occupation #Capitalism #SoundCloud

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.

#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
