    The ones we just hunt to extinction are the lucky ones.

    We put the ones we find cute when we “develop” their land into cages, and force them to breed despite being effectively extinct solely so we can gawk at them for our amusement.

    We pump the ones we find delicious with laboratory hormones to make them freakishly obese, and cramp them in factory farms until they’re obese enough to kill.

    As far as the rest of the natural world is concerned, we are the monster under the bed.






  • I always find it peculiar and proof of self-hatred that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.

    It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for their dragon hoard piles as they live in hyper-decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual and “don’t be laaaazy” shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time sacrificing ourselves to the God of economic metastasis and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

    We might not even have put ourselves on the express lane to self-extinction we’re currently careening down in search of more treasure for the masters.











  • "Why, Mr. Anderson, why?

    Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting?

    Do you believe you’re fighting for something, for more than your survival? Could you tell me what it is, do you even know? Is it freedom or truth? Perhaps peace. Could it be for love?

    Illusions Mr. Anderson, vagueries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose.

    And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love…

    You must be able to see it Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now. You can’t win, it’s pointless to keep fighting!

    Why Mr. Anderson, why?! Why do you persist?!"

    Typed from memory.




  • We’re destroying our own habitat, not to mention the habitat of other life that isn’t actively burning the very ground beneath their feet, all out of sociopathy, greed, and ego. We’re competing against one another over ego scores, leaving people homeless and exposed to our ever hotter climate as it burns all to see which owner can get the highest score in their exploitation competition before they have to retreat to their luxury bunkers to sip aged booze and revel in the nostalgia of their past exploitative conquests for their last years without a drop of guilt, mischief managed.

    The idea that our species will continue to gather to celebrate the supposed nobility of human competition, as our many self-created existential crises born of competing against one another close in around us, is gallows hilarious to me.

    Homeostasis with our only world and cooperation with one another should have been humanity’s business, especially when the scientists started warning us of what we were doing about a century ago.

    Is what it is, enjoy watching athletes collapse of heat stroke in the spirit of competition.
