Not sure when exactly the phrase neurologically atypical originated, but it is surely one of the most absurd examples of newspeak I've ever run across. Anyway ( Read more... )

Alabaster: Wolves is definitely out - I picked up my copy from my local comics store on the way in to work this morning. I haven't yet had a chance to look at it.

Weird. No one tells me anything.

I'd send you a pic, but I left it in the car so I wouldn't be tempted to read it when I should be doing work...

As the publishing industry collapses around us, the dates becomes ever more arbitrary. Which causes me all sorts of problems.

we have at least some idea how unpleasant that world is going to be - by our own hands
Maybe. But bald eagles now live on parts of the James River that stank of kepone when I was little. Maybe having a kid of my own makes me get out and fight when I'd rather stay home and write. I dunno. But if the only people having babies are silly Mormon twits . . . I'm not saying people who care about the planet "should" have kids. Just not sure that they "shouldn't" either.

~20 billion human being = nothing much else on earth.

~7.6 billion equals everything going to shit very, very fast.

What a few million, or even a billion people do, is irrelevant.

Period.

Period? As in social movements are irrelevant to the fate of the planet? Mobilize a billion people and nothing changes? Sounds like futility thesis, rhetoric of reaction.

Looking for depressed angry futile statements about life, the world, and the future? You've come to right place, my friend! I don't even post to LJ anymore, I mainly just come to read the entries here and feel better about my own life in comparison.

That's what "neurologically atypical" does to me ( ... )
