Oh, don't look at me
Is it anybody's business
What I believe?
Oh, I cannot love
Is it anybody's business
Where I get off?
Oh, forest fiery tree
The mahogany in misted
Foils what I grieve
Oh, horse run with me
Your Malthusian mistress
Pulls at my sleeve
#Uploading the bonus tracks#This and another Javelin song have the I cannot love line#And they both make me think of Cimmerian Shade on beginner's mind#I cannot love from my prison of shame#Sufjan stevens#Javelin#Malthusian mistress

Economics must take second place to ecology because the Moon faces Malthusian doom. Shipping food to the Earth and getting nothing back – no replacement for the carbon, nitrogen,
endless spacey cake and endless Earthly eating
phosphorus and so on that the grain shipped down the gravity well contains – means that the Moon's otherwise-closed ecology has a gaping hole in it, as frightening as an air-sucking meteorite puncture in a hab. The stuff of life is leaking away.
"The Moon: A History for the Future" - Oliver Morton

I really wish Mistress Death was in Infinity War. Thanos’s Malthusian politics lacks sheer insanity of whatever is going on here.
