I never did understand why you are not supposed to change a running system.
Ancient humans would understand this and I think that's cool.
Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways--it represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow--I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor--did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late.
The list of resources we are running out of should include resiliant ecosystems. Apart from that, to me, the entire comment could be summarized as "capitalism".
androcentric thinking in a nutshell I guess
I would argue that the problem you are pointing out is cultural rather than biological. Humans are very well capable of living sustainably and respectfully and have done so for extended periods of times in different regions of the world. The endless consumtion of an ending earth seems like something that developed together with (e.g. western, capitalist, ...) culture and ideology.
We need to work on changing our collective mindset rather than attempt our own disappearance. Second part of argument: I believe we can. Humans are very capable to adapt and change. Not sure about collectives, but if you think you can convice a critical number of people to stop reproducing, I think you can do the same in convincing us to please fix our shit.
Thank you :)
I created a second pen loop by sewing together the the spare bands that were already there. Might have to think of something else for the ruler when I get to like the last third or so, but for now I'm really pleased with having everything in place like this.

I'd like to have you on my survival team.
I notice and appreciate cool details. I'm spontaneous and up for things. I can get really excited. I will support your questionable life choices if your heart is in them. I have creative associations. I'm usually good at following other peoples' thoughts. I collect useful junk as well as quotes and stuff. I usually carry a bunch of key items that might come in handy, like a lighter, a pen and a pocketknife.
I have a Quechua bottle that looks slightly yellowish/golden on the inside. Might that be some sort of lining?
Why shouldn't adults be allowed to have fun colouring stuff?
Sometimes life gives you what you need, just when the previous journal (Leuchtturm) is about to run out of pages.
I am currently sick at home and had some meds delivered. They added this free notebook to the bag. I wouldn't normaly get a spiral bind, but beggars can't be choosers... Anxiously, I opend it up, afraid to find lines, squares or dots, but rejoice: I had recieved a book full of blank pages, just how I like it. (I can't say how many times I didn't buy a gorgeous notebook because of this.)
Added the frame and the white title field to make it truly mine. Then I went and cancelled my online order for a new journal I had placed just yesterday.
Didn't read the title and thought those were some seriously weird hairstyles.
