I never knew something could be so deeply destructive, it makes sense how the US jumped on the shit ASAP for consumerist purposes. I never thought I’d be nostalgic for when I went through my instagram feed for the day or when I saw all that I could on a popular subreddit for the time being

All of this because tech bros couldn’t care less about the arts/culture

timmy-pray i hope to one day see the internet destroyed, even if it means losing hexbear. We won’t achieve shit as people without spending most of our time touching grass

Sorry for the ostensibly manic rant, I just cannot stop thinking about how I spend all of my waking hours touching a fucking computer for a company I do not care about then go home to a different computer because my hometown is a land of crumbling asphalt, strip malls and chain restaurants.

There’s gotta be a lot more out there like me unfortunately, especially when you add in the fact that finding anything to do outside is so hard. I’ve genuinely gotten mocked before for saying that the “pave paradise and put up a parking lot” line from big yellow taxi was someone’s interpretation of reality. And those people are still laughing because they don’t care that the neighborhood where they live used to be a forest.

Lmao colonizing your local forest, disrupting wildlife and complaining about not seeing as many deer as you used to is such yankee shit. Send the nukes already XI I’m begging you

    I think about that every damn day. Every day

    Like the fact that I could go to all the places I wanted and walk home at the end of the day? I could genuinely cry.

    Convinced this is why some people just don’t leave academia, though they kinda make you leave with the pesky threat of poverty unless you get an “adult job” that creates shareholder value
