A Modern Curse,
or, "Open Letter to the Executives of ExxonMobil Corporation, Shell plc, TotalEnergies SE, BP plc, Chevron Corporation, etc."
———
When the skies burn and the oceans boil,
When the rivers turn to steam and every bit of solid ground
has been crushed to sand beneath the weight of
oil wells and gas drills and coal fires and pipelines,
May your eyes sting with smog and acrid smoke,
And may your lungs and throat be filled with ichor and black gold—
May you choke on the blood and oil you have spilled,
(your hands are slick with it; none of it your own),
And may you try, desperate, to cry for help,
slow bubbles through thick, dark fluid—
May you know how it feels to stare down a slow death;
May you feel powerless and desperate;
May you feel how we have felt.

This happened an hour and a half north of my alma mater. I find it hard to believe that there was "no impact" on the local drinking water. This was the exact thing Indigenous Peoples were fighting to prevent. They knew this was only a matter of time.

I’ve heard there is a book that this movie is based on. I haven’t read the book but I hope I get to see the movie.
It sounds like it’s about radical environmentalist activism and that sounds cool!

As in homosapien guilt. Like, damn I really was born into one of the most horrible species on the face of the earth. I'm sorry earth, I didn't choose this!

"The Canadian company said in a statement that it did so for safety reasons. But drone footage of the spill — the largest in the pipeline’s history — was among the only means of seeing the damage as the site is closed to press. Even lawmakers were not allowed there for a briefing."
Nothing to see here, folks. Trust us, the Oil Barons r*ping the environment.
