Great guide!
After starting meds, it made me way more sensitive to having my routine thrown off for some reason. I just took a vacation and I was all over the place mentally and not able to enjoy it like I should have. I get overwhelm, sensory overload, and I just wanna go home back to my comfort zone. I didn’t used to feel like that before when it was zoloft instead (but had to stop zoloft for other reasons).
The post Industrial Revolution is the teensiest-tiniest microscopic doesn’t-even-register slice of time on the scale of the entire time this planet has had a climate.
Then why does the start of the industrial revolution coincide with the exponential increase in Co2 concentration in the atmosphere? Do you think it just came from nothing?
Just because there’s a lot of politics doesn’t mean we didn’t cause it. Yes, the earth has cycles but this is being caused by greenhouse gasses and those gasses had to come from somewhere.

At first I was like wtf is with this author. I’m millenial/gen z and even I remember what we did. TV, books, and calling your friends on your wired phone attached to the wall.
But as I read the article, I kinda get it. There was a ton of down time and boredom. However, I disagree that the nothingness was this horrible thing. I think the “nothing ever happens” is what our brains handle much better than “there’s too much happening.”
Our brains literally can’t process the firehose of information streaming into our eyeballs 24/7 365. It starts to go in your eyes and right out your ears. My memory is shit now. I’m forgetting important stuff because it keeps getting deleted to make room for more garbage data like endless dank memes and posts. I think the nothingness, along with REM sleep (which is also disrupted by screens), is what’s needed to help process and therefore retain new information.
I’m trying to spend less time on screens because it feels like dementia and it’s freaking me out.
How’s the healthcare over there?
Glad they sorted out the air, but I hope that those who were affected can get help for the lung damage sustained after all those years of breathing it in.
I think they’re astroturf bots.
Also I love a traditional hot fudge sundae. Vanilla, hot fudge, whipped cream, cherry on top. Nothing ever beats it.
Joined a RuneScape clan as a kid. They had made their own forum site. I posted only in bright pink by wrapping my text in [color=#f19] [/color] or something. And of course we all had cool signatures lol. They had an IRC channel too that I hung out on all the time. To this day we’re still together, just on Discord now. I like to think of them as my Internet Family.
Wow I hate everything about that. It needs to be made illegal.
Nice!! I used some of mine to cover up the Conclave window so I can pretend it doesn’t exist. 😎
Like another commenter said, attracting insects can help, by providing food for pollinators and other bugs which also help feed smaller animals which then feed larger animals etc. Never ever use herbicide/pesticide, or artificial fertilizer. (For example, anything with glyphosate in it will kill anything with permeable skin in the area. Salamanders will die from levels even below EPA standards of safe drinking water.) If you need fertilizer use compost.
Even better: kill your lawn. Let native wildflower species take over. If it all turns to clover, you don’t even have to mow it.
The main problem is our economic system which demands infinite, unsustainable profit and expansion, so at the very least get the conversation going on that. I know it’s impossible for an individual to fight the whole world, but that’s why organizing is important. You must build a large enough group to become a force for change.
In the meantime, since we aren’t ready to kill capitalism, make your own space as much of a sanctuary as it can be.
