It's crazy to me that people still aren't doing anything about climate change. We're so fucked.

[tucker]

Reminds me of some popular tweet I saw that was like “it’s wild how soon we just aren’t going to have fish but we still go to our little jobs every day”

[glitterslugs]

I read some thing about how on the news there were more minutes in a week spent on jeff bezos going to space than there was about climate change for the whole of 2020

[my_moloko]

I believe it! And what I really hate is people insisting that all this space shit is being done for the good of humanity. Dude literally went to space for like two minutes and said that we should be putting our trash on Mars! wtf kind of solution is that?! How about we stop forcing people to consume and stop making shit that's just going to go into a landfill in less than three months.

I realise that as an old person I am not in her demographic, but she gives off this April Ludgate /jaded know-it-all teenager vibe that really grates on me.

[nermal_kat]

She's jaded because she's the only person in the world who cares about global warming. Fortunately, she will have plenty of time to ponder climate change while traveling via private plane on her upcoming world tour.

Her comments on body image are on point. For example, Instagram is poison and the best thing is to call these people like the Kardashian out on their bs and to block and report them. Do whatever to point out this is fake and not real life and nobody should strive for whatever clownery they're selling atm.

Also, the new album is really sleepier than ever ™ This girl needs to switch it up, because the whisper thing is getting exhausting.

A new law in Norway is coming into force that will mean social media influencers can't post modified photos without declaring the edits.

"You are beautiful, don't throw that away for some extra likes. That's not real life," influencer Madeline sayshttps://t.co/1vEdtITtxw

Norway will have a law that you have to disclose that you edit your pics, lets hope it works out so other countries can follow

i think it's great in terms of sending a message. Not sure how they can actually enforce this without before and after photos.

[sadteenager]

gdi her new album really made me giver her a bit of credit but quotes like these are a reminder that she's still an angsty teen. like she raises some good points but it all said in annoying whiny-yet-self-righteous way lmao.

[comava]

Well she is a teen so I can't fault her that, nor does it discredit that the points she brings up are all valid

[sadteenager]

Ya

[fromyourashes]

something about this response + icon is fucking sending me jfc

[oldmoviesnstuff]

"I wish people actually gave a shit about global warming, because I feel like I’m the only one."
I feel bad for mocking teenagers but please lol
