Every Year Without Knowing It I Have Passed the Day

I should reiterate, while I'm more angry than normal at the constant psyops disorienting me every fucking day and wrecking me sideways on most days, that these are headshots, I can explain Life in the Clusterfuckocene better to me with these than I can with words, this is me on a day last week when I noticed the seething merely simmered rather than boiled, they're rare



It's not ending November 6 regardless your vote, forgive me for reiterating this the thousandth time, our shitlords are preparing us for war to save their world hegemony and kill you trying. To offset, since I have neither the way or the will to retreat to disconnected isolation, ochres, siennas, browns, payne's grey, and greys mixed by combining complementary colors in search of a less manic interaction with the noise I can't avoid and hopefully explain myself in the clusterfuck to myself as differently and coherently and kindly as a one trick pony can

"This is what the “culture war” in the West is all about.

The thing is, the majority of the resistance in the West is staunchly “pro-capitalist,” or at least staunchly “anti-communist,” and thus is unable to face the fact that it is global capitalism and its values-decoding machine that they are actually resisting.

If plants possess sentience, what is the morally appropriate response?
Yes, plants are sentient, I think about this question everytime I eat, is it that they don't exhibit pain (that I can see or sense, doesn't mean they don't) when killed that keeps me from starving myself to death, am I that small and cowardly?

FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF MY DEATH

W.S. Merwin

Every year without knowing it I have passed the day   
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveler
Like the beam of a lightless star

Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what

    Paraguay vs. Uruguay: A Hideaway for the Wealthy in a Changing World

    Both Paraguay and Uruguay offer unique advantages as potential refuges from climate change and nuclear war. However, the popularity of each depends on various factors, including individual preferences, lifestyle, and specific concerns.

    Paraguay: A Landlocked Gem
    Geographical Isolation: Paraguay's landlocked position and relatively small population make it less vulnerable to direct threats from coastal storms or large-scale invasions.
    Economic Stability: Paraguay has shown economic resilience in recent years, with a growing agricultural sector and a diversified economy.
    Natural Resources: The country boasts abundant natural resources, including forests, rivers, and fertile land, which could be beneficial for self-sufficiency in a post-apocalyptic scenario.

    Uruguay: A Coastal Haven
    Climate: Uruguay enjoys a temperate climate, with mild winters and warm summers. This could be appealing to those seeking a comfortable and predictable environment.
    Proximity to Brazil and Argentina: While proximity to larger, more populous nations might raise concerns, it could also offer access to markets, resources, and infrastructure.
    Tourism and Infrastructure: Uruguay has a well-developed tourism industry, which might provide amenities and services for wealthy residents.

    Ultimately, the choice between Paraguay and Uruguay would depend on individual priorities. Some might prefer the isolation and natural resources of Paraguay, while others might value the coastal location and proximity to urban centers in Uruguay.

    It's important to note that while both countries offer potential advantages, no place is entirely immune to the effects of climate change or global conflict. The best strategy for long-term survival involves a combination of preparedness, diversification, and adaptability.
