What if there's already nothing left to save? There's microplastics in the clouds and soil and our blood and brains. Climate disasters and warming are happening faster than scientists thought it would and all the governments in the whole world are just protecting the corporations and billionaires that are causing this. We're not safe, too much irriversable damage has been done already and its getting worse even more and I'm so scared. We could hit so many tipping points that will kill everyone very soon if things dont change completely from how it is now. I'm only in high school I just want a future. Please tell me I have a future
Hi Anon,
I received a bunch of asks similar to this one over the last several days, and I’m not sure if they are all from you or just a lot of people feeling similarly—but I’m going to try to cover them all here.
First, you still have a future. Full stop. And if you don’t want to take it from me, take it from actual NASA climate scientist Kate Marvel, who said “I unequivocally reject, scientifically and personally, that children are somehow doomed to an unhappy life”.
The future may be harder and more complicated than we would have envisioned without the obstacle of climate impacts—it will certainly be different. But it can absolutely still be full of joy and fulfillment and happiness.
Climate change is not a switch that gets flipped when we reach a certain threshold and then almost everyone dies or lives in a post apocalyptic disaster-movie reality. Climate impacts mean a gradual increase in the difficulty of meeting everyone’s needs, mitigating increasing natural disasters, preserving vital ecosystems, etc. as the climate gets warmer. Tipping points may accelerate that change, but it's still not a matter of a "human society kill switch".
Second, I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. I’m sorry that you feel like your future has been taken from you before it’s even started, I’m sorry that you feel betrayed by the generations that came before you. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to be a high schooler right now, entering into adulthood at a time when the world is in such turmoil without the years of adult life experience to give some buffering perspective.
I know that looking at all the progress we still need to make it seems impossible that we will get anywhere close to where we need to be—but when I was in high school the idea that we would make as much progress as we have right now seemed laughably impossible. In my high school reality carbon capture was a sci-fi idea, electric cars were basically nonexistent, clean energy was such a negligible drop in the bucket that no one really believed could ever meet a significant portion of our energy needs, and climate change was generally considered a low-priority, "tree-hugger" issue if people even believed it was real.
The idea that we would have this much popular support, this much worldwide government action, this much investment and progress in clean energy and other climate solutions would have made my high school self cry with disbelieving happiness.
Every tenth of a degree of warming that we avoid will make life in the future measurably easier. We’ve already shifted that needle from 4 degrees to 2.7 in just a couple of decades. We need to keep pushing, but we are making progress and we have already steered the world away from the worst and most apocalyptic climate impacts.
Just getting this far is incredible, heroic work. That is millions of real humans that have been saved from death and poverty, that is an entire planet of people whose lives will be better than they would have been otherwise.
There is still a beautiful, vibrant, complex, life-giving world out there to save. Things will be different, the world will be different, but there is still a future to look forward to. And I would bet that when you've been out of high school for a couple of decades, the future you'll look back from will have seen a lot more progress than you're expecting right now.
(PS Just as a final side note, if you're feeling spiraling climate anxiety all the time, I would really encourage you to reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for support. Any kind of anxiety--climate related or not--can have a really awful impact on your mental health and we all need extra help sometimes (speaking as a very anxious person myself))

Hello!🙂
Out of curiousity, do you have this in reverse too?😃
This looks really nice, and I'm a big Julerose fan😁. And while I like this version of them too (I think both are common in fandom🙃) I feel -personal oppinion- the other pairing is closer to their character (that's why I like that, and the diversion is why I like this verdion😁). If not, that's perfectly fine, than my question is;
🐈⬛Do you have hero name for them?🐞
Here’s what I cooked up :)
Rose is based off of those rare pink ladybugs, and with Juleka I leaned into a romantic goth look- hope you like it 💕
As for their names… well… honestly I’m so bad at naming things (that’s why half of my kwami swaps have no names lol)- so I’ll turn that over to all of you guys- got any good name ideas for these ladies?
You can find the first post here

When is everyone’s birthday and how do they like to celebrate? And favorite cake flavor?
Early on in the recovery period once Robotnik was well enough to be awake for long enough but not well enough to move around, he and Stone went through all the Project Shadow data from GUN and Gerald's own personal files. Sometime after, Shadow asks about birthdays so Stone and Robotnik will celebrate Shadow's b-earth-day!

isn't just that the pressure to pair off and hook up is partially related to [cishet] natalism?
like literally! this is not a "centering of romantic love" - i'm frustrated that we're even describing "pressure to get married" as centering love - do you really think that, for most of history, women were getting married to men out of romantic inclinations? are people getting pressured to have children "out of centering of romantic love" like? this is the not the starting point for these things!
