“Earth is not collapsing. what we're seeing now are just the ripple effects of choices made by humans decades ago till now. choices by leaders who shrugged. by systems that rewarded complicity. normalisation happens when people look away because the consequences do not affect them. that's the thing about normalised harm. it's patient. it creeps. at first, it's someone else's problem. then it's a headline you scroll past. then it's a debate you're tired of hearing. and then, just like that, it's at your door. messing with your privilege.

suddenly, you have a voice: "what's going on here? how did it get this bad?" ... let me tell you, akere. somewhere there's always a group that’s BEEN in it. they've BEEN pleading, holding their lives together in the wreckage of what others ignored. and when you finally wake up, in a panic, they'll say "oh, hey. welcome. we've BEEN trying to tell you."

remember that Nature knows how to burn until the imbalance corrects itself. Earth will spin long after our descendants have forgotten our names. Earth isn't ending. the myth of our seperate-ness is. what's crumbling is the delusion that we could keep normalising extraction.

somewhere, the Earth is already healing the wound of us. somewhere, roots are crackling through concrete.”
