PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)

Oh! Thank you so much for this timely reminder! I had a philosophy professor who said that we should be careful to never build a universe in which we cannot live! ❤️❤️❤️

Personally? I'm most upset about Chevron, but also we've known this was going to happen for at least a year. Everything SUCKS today. I hate it. I'm still here, I'm still working. It's a fucking long project, being in the world.

Well, I can't find it now even by the hashtag. That's weird. Anyway, here it is, for what it's worth, though I think some of the humor might have been lost by now. It was fun for a minute anyway.
The #SharkNebula isn't going to let the electrocution win, Donnie. XD>.

That was my plan here--to get into tRump's head about his own two twin nightmares he waxed on publicly at that really in a form of performative despair. What can I say, I was bored, I hate Trumplestiltskin, and find these new astronomy images quite spectacular. It was actually fairly cathartic. :)

This happens to me all the time and I've never been able to fully describe it but this hits the nail on the head.

This - "don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake" - is fucking brilliant. Thank you!
