I've noticed that plastics all look alike. Take some clear packing tape and twist it in the sunlight. Slowly spin a plastic container until the cold room lighting splits into colors. The same sickly rainbow pops out of all of them, dominated by violet and greenish yellow. Oil slicks everywhere I look. I feel as if I need to stare at a piece of glass afterward to remember color.

i mean plastics are gross and destroying the biosphere sure but the attempts at getting poetic about it are weird. plenty of plastics are crystal clear and don't show off some sort of "sickening" rainbow lol

funny that stewardship of the planet and care for other people is written down as pretty important in the judeo-christian tradition

and it's not by faith alone but by works but instead they work on hastening their biblical apocalypse so they can be sure before they die that they were right and here's jesus on a flying horse just like they said

ish. imo a nontrivial number of followers read it as masters of the environment to do with as they see fit, and not stewards responsible for maintenance

All of this talk about Methane and the beginning stages of thinking about possibly, worst case, maybe saying goodbye to 1.5c in the mainstream conversation means they are around 10-15 years behind us.

I'm curious how far things would need to accelerate to close that gap.

not sure, things might not need to accelerate at all; even at the current rates any number of hideous things can happen to major us cities in the next five years

Are you watching? Have you been here? Is this the room that you remember? Where we laughed and gassed and flirted? Where we've been for all these years? poo poo. Motherfucker. Your children are already getting old. Your skin as thick as clay mud. Let's go. Let's have a chicken sandwich. Eat while you can, is what I'm saying. Chew the rubble. Suck the fat. Is that your Timmy on the floor beside you? His small eyes wide and full of curse? He's going to die. Your little Timmy. He's going to perish of something dumb. The Book says all first babies busted. You will watch your young boy die. Feed him antiseptic, vitamins and chicken soup. Kiss him on the face. By month's end he will be zero. His ghoul will clog your pretty home. Evenings of screech, of squawk, and rattle. Prepare yourselves. Turn the TV loud. Hide the windows. Clench the gun. Every home will fill thick with the souls of those it once covered over. The walls will move in smaller. The ceilings will come down. You've had all these years to pay attention. You've had time for spinach salads and Sunday football and summer beer. You've prayed for air conditioning. You've fixed your eyes to the small screen. Bastard. Bitch poo poo dicksucker. God is tired. Think of all the doors you've never opened. Of the photographs you've allowed to filch your image. Think of nothing. Think of poo poo. I can see you from here, you know. I am the Alpha and Omega. I am the Fonz. I've been inside your bed. Think of drought, then think of water. Years absorbing. Endless rain. Walls fattened, roof beams buckled. Your brother underground grown rot with wet. And after the rain, the infestation. The moth eggs in your ear holes. The growth of hair. You won't see that. You won't listen. There is something in your eyes.
