- A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n
- did you know crows can acquire their food for the day in about an hour of work and then spend the rest of the day entertaining themselves by doing stuff like standing on anthills and letting the ants crawl up their legs for funthe year is 2027 everything is different now, since the crows revealed how they were interceding in human affairs
- Replying to @touchmoonflowerIt is all so astonishingly pointless and debased and wasteful that it would probably be better not to spend too much time contemplating it; let us turn out attention to more pleasant things /end
- Replying to @touchmoonflowerThis entire process means that, wherever modern humans congregate, the soil quickly becomes impoverished, as the nutrients required for cyclic leaf production are removed, rather than stored in the ground,
- Replying to @touchmoonflowerAll across this great land, people proceed to fire up specialized machines literally called "leaf blowers", which burn irreplaceable fossil fuels, pumped out of the ground at great expense, to produce, in addition to carbon monoxide and noise, powerful blasts of forced air.
- Replying to @touchmoonflowerproducing a kind of grey, dusty soil that when I was a professional gardener we immediately recognized and referred to as "blower disease".
- Replying to @touchmoonflowerThey blow the leaves into immense piles, and then rake them into huge bags made of polyethylene, a byproduct of fossil fuel refinement which will take longer to decompose than the geologic processes which produced the fuel to begin with; a very, very long time.
- Replying to @touchmoonflowerThese bags full of leaves are then loaded onto trucks which, burning fossil fuels, move them to giant areas called "landfills" -- where the leaves, trapped in plastic, undergo anaerobic decomposition, and, rather than releasing their nutrients back into the soil,
