Christ, am I the only one reading this?

Again from the Guardian UK: India, Yemen, Mexico, Burkina Faso and several other countries have had, or been close to, food riots in the last year, something not seen in decades of low global food commodity prices. Meanwhile, there are shortages of beef, chicken and milk in Venezuela and other countries as governments try to keep a lid on food

You're not the only one reading it. I saw it too. The sky really is falling but very few people seem to be putting the pieces together because its just so horrible you don't want to believe it.

don't get me started.

in the past month, i have realized and accepted the fact that this planet--or, at least, this species and the millions of others we haveready destroyed and are dewstroying-- is on its way out. in my lifetime. i think the final straw might have been realizing that, the more damage we do to the planet, the more rapid the damage accumulates. like, for instance: a half-melted polar icecap reflects back less solar energy, thereby melting the remainder at a much quicker rate. the more that melts, the more quickly what's left will melt. yeah. maybe it's time to reread your post about how we're practicing the skills that'll save us, in some way, again

Yes.

Practicing skills

Also, on the skills question: I realized that my superpower is not crazy projects or growing plants or emergency medicine or building. My superpower, the one that contributes most to my happiness and that, if propagated, would be of significant benefit to the world, is my ability to live with most recently nine but at times up to twenty-one housemates.
