haha dude your friends only like you because you radiate joy and five minutes in your company is enough to brighten their day significantly lol they only keep you around because they love and cherish you for all that you are lmao
maybe was aware of this intellectually but seeing friends’ tweets about buying $800 air filters or plane tickets to escape the air quality makes it feel v viscerally true that climate change and pollution, like other kinds of injustices, will disproportionately affect the poor.

what is the least wasteful way to throw away 90% of my belongings?
should I put myself directly in the trash am I a trash person?
where is she finding those perfect sized boxes that perfectly nest in each other?

I hope we don't end up blaming individual rich people. I have friends who have money (per tweet) and I love them deeply. but as with all structural inequity, I want to keep probing the underlying foundational causes. very unequal wealth is problematic and worsens with scarcity.

you know, I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I appreciate the moments when I viscerally am. human brains are so bad at accepting true things

I think the hardest part of making art is continuing to believe, day after day, that you do have something to say, that no one besides you will be able to say
