Daily post bruh

27/8

I think it is time to commit myself to daily posts.

It probably wont last but I can only hope. There is no point getting myself into a defeatist mindset this early on in the game. Its like my pal Noam Chomsky says;

"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it's unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee that there's no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there's a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours."

A little deep for this context maybe but I like the sentiment.

hehehe i am a sneaky snake

CONSUMERISM WOO HOO

                    

Howdy everyone and welcome to my latest blog post. So today we are going to talk about the vicious cycle of consumerism. basically this is because I was cruising Netflix last night and stumbled upon this amazing documentary called 'The Real Cost'. It really opened my eyes to this massive issue and how everything is connected.

To start off with, the documentary showed us what its like to work in a garment factory. It's absolutely appalling. They work long hours in a hot, humid factory that's crumbling away beneath them.


it isn't great.. people wear masks ti w== its si hot and oeole have to wear masks t wrok a lot of the time epeople have to bring in their children to which isn't good, and they aren't even oadu==paid well fr their trouble also their building suck  but yeah they dont get oaid much at all its less than 2$  a day wo w kooky j

so the e=reason why they get paid not a lot is because of greedy greedy america those nought capitalists yuckyuc oinkoinkoink



working conditions in garment factories - rana plaza - amount of pay they get - link into next paragrph, WHY ty are aid so little

talk about the companies competing for the lowest prices , they only place where they can and do cut costs is in the pay the workers recieve

fast fashion - the competing costs are in service of this 

contrast back to communities blahbahha but the cycle doesn't stop there, these decisions have eal repercussions on real people blhlahlah

relate back to wh y, the oot cause of it all america capitalism, the onl thing that has gone unchecked., leading to corporate greed, the same companies that own the seed own the cancer medication.





haha so basically I had a creative writing internal and i was going to do a blog post for one of my pieces and then decided that, no, i hate this. but yeah, i watched this doco like 3 times and I cry every time its actually awfu and such a complicated problem that will only evr be stopped by citizens, heaps of people like you and me, deciding to be a bit more choosy about where we put our money. :')

Everything Is connected pt. 2

18/7--- 27/8

Okay I'm on a blogging kick and I've been thinking about interconnectedness again but more so it's time for a part 2.

I think interconnectedness is deeper than just a nature cycle. I'm not going to pretend to be a neurologist but I'm pretty sure a big part of our brains is electrical neuron connecty stuff right? (these posts would be so much better if I wasn't too lazy to do actual research) I know that our brains are all about pattern recognition and stuff.

I think also that connections are everywhere, but for some reason we as humans always focus on the difference between. Liberals/democrats, men/women, rich/poor, dumb/smart, there is a lot. but the fact remains, in terms of humans anyway, that we will always have so much more in common than not. whether we like to acknowledge it or not, we are all sufferers of the human condition.

All of us, all of us, all of us trying to save our immortal souls, some ways seemingly more round about and mysterious than others.

That was a poem by Richard carver btw. I thought it was fitting.
