My advice is to live your life as best as you can without worrying too much about things you can't control. Try and build a life around yourself that'll help you be happy through it all, regardless of what happens. Enjoy your 20's. 30's are good too and 40's don't suck either.
To paraphrase Sun Tzu: do not choose a path to victory. Instead, choose a strategy such that all paths lead to victory.
It's almost as if we should be spending our time working to mitigate climate change and helping build societal resilience instead of working on meaningless careers....
A whole new wooooorld ! Where the heat will give you a stroke, famine will rise and the rich will hide ! A world where you wish you died or never was ever born. You'll remember the days of the past and ask yourself why we did nothing but alas it is too laaaate to change anything now.

In case anyone is wondering, no one is going to announce that the worker's revolution has begun. No one is planning it. The vast majority of people in North America don't believe climate change is real. To believe in an existential threat to humanity is to attempt to do something about it on a grassroots level. Start getting everyone you know to understand what's at stake. Fuck if they think you're being annoying or dramatic. The alternative is we all die at our post/desk/cash register of heat stroke or starvation.
Lots of people claiming they give a shit about CC online and yet the number one selling vehicle segment is large trucks and SUVs. And not just in the US, but in Europe and elsewhere larger, taller, thirstier SUVs and crossovers are the rage. Consumer's buying habits aren't really changing all that much in all manner of product segment.
It's winter where I live. Temperature should be around 10ºC but some places registered 30ºC. And this week we'll have our 4th hurricane of 2023. My house is old and I fear soon I'll wake up without a roof.
My anxiety is so bad today. I keep trying to find new ways to deal with it, meds, meditation, exercise, but how the fuck am I supposed to keep up?
