    Washington Post, owned by Bezos. Shocker.

    “Keep consuming! There’s nothing you can do anyway.”

    Bullshit.

    I didn’t fucking want to go vegetarian, but I did because there is no denying the meat industry is unbelievably cruel and irresponsible, not just to animals but the people who work in there as well.

    That’s what it takes to change the world:

    Live by the values you claim to hold. There’s no other way.

    I know being a climate scientist is basically despair incarnate and trying anything to spin yourself and everyone else out of it, but really?

    “Yeah, things are looking really bad, great grandchild. But there’s nothing I can do, really. Hopefully you can pull it off, though!”

    “I did everything I could!”

    These are about you and sanitizing your guilty heart, not any meaningful action.
