Blasé is a word that means indifferent and nonchalant.

Like what? Catastrophic climate collapse is imminent and will happen in our lifetimes, 4+c warming = billions of people will die.

Do you have any suggestions? What could we do? Hmmmm.

Maybe physics defying magic time travel boots could save us all? Nah, this seems unfeasible in the timescale we have, we should probably broaden our hopes a bit to include the hippy god aliens coming to save us with communist space magic.

Or maybe we should be more realistic and instead, be going around telling people to "have faith in the good of humanity cooperating together to fix this", and while they get on with that, everyone else should buy lots of electric cars, pretend recycling works and maybe think about possibly eating less meat occasionally.

Yeah, that should do it. Maybe let's throw in a community garden too, let's see how long that lasts before people fuck it up for each other.

Lmao, we might as well go fucking protest for all the good it will do.

There's a badass maths lady I met on Tumblr who named herself Tesseract. She definitely won at names.

The protests against the Iraq war were massive and yet completely ignored in favour of lies, millions of pointless deaths, and a fuck ton of very profitable resources to extract.

The Iraq war protests happened when I was a young teen and it broke my belief in the power of showing up and protesting being able to change anything.

Corruption isn't swayed by protests, only by money. If you can't buy government backing for your cause, it's dead in the water. Protesting against corruption is just going to get you arrested and/or put on a list of dissidents.

Only because dairy isn't commonly eaten by most people in China.

Ooh, those look really pleasingly tactile, I like the glued on beads, and I like your colours too, especially the flower stencils on the bin(?)!

Brody is a pedo who all the church ladies love to the point of turning against their kids if they say anything against him.

Billy Bob is a deeeeply closeted homosexual who fantasises about murdering rent boys and actually might have, depending on where he was in the 70's.

Susan is just kinda stupid and annoying, but she does good charity work for people who actually need it and she really doesn't want to hurt anyone, so she should get to live.

Is this the guy who fell off a boat and claimed he built a raft and ate a stick and befriended a dolphin or something? There was a tumblr post about this a while back that was quite funny, there were a lot of inconsistencies in the guys story.

If yo mama has wheels, she needs wheelchair access toilets.

Be cool to all animals, killing them is not OK.

But also, common house spider spreads antibiotic-resistant bacteria to humans, study finds, so maybe don't be so blasé about letting them live in your house?
