"Dear passengers, if I might have your attention. We are currently passing though a picturesque valley and if you look to the right of the train, there are some beautiful snowy mountains in the distance. And on your left is, of course, the corpse of a dead god."
"He can't do that!"
"That's illegal!"
"He is violating the constitution!"
Then fucking stop him! Arrest him, throw Musk out, bar them from entering when they try to access shit.
Because guess fucking what, laws only have meaning when they are enforced. They only matter when someone fucking does something about it.
Blushing, giggling, kicking and swaying my feet

met a new kinda guy on twitter today
Can we just get this instead of Velma?
if you had asked me as a child what colour the sky was, i would have confidently said blue and yellow. because i grew up on the baltic coast next to one of the most travelled ship routes of the world, and the unfiltered sulfur pouring out of the exhausts of nearly a hundred cargo ships every day turned into a thick layer of sickly yellow laying over the horizon. especially on sunny summer days, it settled of the sea like the cheap imitation of a sunset, out of place during the bright daylight.
then, from one summer to the next, the yellow slowly but surely faded away. because a new legislation passed - one which heavily penalised airborne ship emissions in the area. and while the silhouettes of ships across the passage never became less frequent, their backdrop was now such a pure blue that its hard to imagine that it was ever different.
i think about this everytime someone tells me that climate legislation doesn't work, everytime a new media story declaring our helplessness in the face of certain environmental doom makes the rounds. don't get me wrong - the situation we are facing in terms of climate change and environmental destruction is certainly terrifying. but everyday, people are working tirelessly to implement law and policy that could change that fact. and because of those people, a newly bright blue sky touches down over the baltic sea. and that has to count for something, i think.
