the pandemic making people realize - oh shit they can just grind all this to a halt with the push of a button

the recent election frauds / riots / etc in the US, global warming / severe weather increasing, capitalism getting more and more ruthless, everything sucks more and costs more…

it feels so weird that it’s 2023 and we still care about dress codes or professionalism, at the same time. because it sort of feels like we’re in the beginning of a movie waiting for the bad thing to happen
