Turns out I prefer having my personal politics be in a continual state of malicious to benign neglect rather than openly, aggressively dismissed.

My favorite thing about tumblr is seeing an out-of-context post from @kelsium and eagerly scrolling to find the origin of the post. She never disappoints.

The only way Mitt Romney’s NAACP stunt could have been more effective is if he were a pretty white girl with a blog.

I think about how much money Mitt Romney makes per day, like, multiple times a week. Every time I’m not angry enough about shit.

Tired of people I don’t like getting things they want. I realize this is a childish and unproductive thing to have any feelings about at all. SELF CARE! BEING CHILDISH AND UNPRODUCTIVE AS SELF CARE.

But also most of these doomsday weirdos think the world is getting more dangerous because they’re too stupid to understand that increased global communication just widens our access to bad news and they think we’re going down in an EMP attack in the race wars or some shit whereas I think we’ll all probably just slowly blink out in the consequences of climate change, so you know. Good luck building your wilderness bunker as the earth turns to dust around us and we keep attempting to maintain normalcy while ignoring the suffering of the most vulnerable among us. Oh, wait. That’s just reality I’m describing.

My 85 year old grandmother can easily drink me under the table, described a relative as “an agnostic, you know, he believes in the black hole and everything,” described one person as “a pain in the ass” and then less than five minutes later someone else as “an individual who was not a pleasant companion,” so we’re having a grand old time.

Have you been playing homeless person or OB resident again? Santa Barbara is the same way as well as the desert communities. There is a riding the tail end of an acid trip vibe to these places.
For sure. And what’s funny to me is that these are definitely the places that I like the best here. When I started listening to Welcome to Nightvale last year I was kind of like, “Where do you even begin to come up with this stuff?” but having spent a little more time in desert towns I totally get it. It’s not that much of a stretch from the reality of the weirdness vibe to the fictional weirdness vibe. Every time we drive out somewhere new I say to M, “How would it be to grow up here? How would I frame my life if this kind of starkness was what home felt like to me?” and I really don’t know. This is a very good place to be if you’re interested in investigating the fallacies of your own reality, with or without the aid of assistive substances.

I always wondered as a kid what happens if King Richard never comes back, you know? Which, as an adult, I now realize is life. Life is what happens when King Richard doesn’t come back.

And speaking of Chile, here’s an article from 1999 about a rich guy trying to take over part of the country in the name of environmentalism:
Once we got that straight, we could move on to Tompkins, whose thinking the governor said he had studied. I assumed he meant that he had read the summaries being circulated by Tompkins’s opponents in Santiago, the nation’s capital. Whatever his source of information, he had the basics right. Tompkins believes in “deep ecology,” an absolutist version of environmentalism—which contains little to surprise a North American reader. It is an “ecocentric” view that rejects the idea of inherent human superiority and instead gives equal moral weight to all elements of nature—from the living to the inanimate. The deep ecologists are purists. The governor understood the importance that they place on trying to live according to their principles, and he even knew about the Norwegian Arne Naess, an academic philosopher, now eighty-seven, whose work launched the movement.
But emotion kept getting the better of the governor. He equated deep ecology with Nazism. And he confused population control with genocide. He implied that Tompkins might be building a dangerous cult in his forest fastness—a suspicion just plausible, because of the stories of survival here in the south of the last Nazi fugitives, and the existence farther north of a German-led fascist group that has held off the Chilean authorities for years.
By the way, here’s a story on the referenced fascist group. Content warnings for everything related to Pinochet’s regime plus Nazism and child abuse/molestation for good measure. But anyway what I want to say is that in terms of American involvement in South American population control, arguably genocide is not as far away as the author would like to believe. So not much has changed in terms of sensitive, nuanced reporting at The Atlantic since 1999.
tldr our response to global warming is still to go to the developing world and sabotage them so they never catch up. fight club environmentalism. nah.
