This goes for all the nonhuman bio fields btw

first semester studying marine biology: wow i'm really learning a lot about the ocean ^_^ i can't wait to get out in the field in a couple years and do my part to make the world a better place ^_^

third semester studying marine biology: the intersection of capitalism, imperialism, socioeconomic injustice, and environmental destruction has turned me into david lynch's cartoon of the dog that is so angry it cannot move. anti littering campaigns aren't enough i need to guillotine every petrochemical executive and stick their heads on pikes on the white house lawn

#i was radicalized when i learned how colonizers almost drove the american bison to extinction #POSSIBLY AS MANY AS 60 GODDAMN MILLION BISON #down to... 541. animals. total.#also comparatively the us is fuckin amazing compared to other countries in terms of environmental protections due to the sheer size #meaning we can just not use land and not put pressure on our population #and still nestle fuckin exists and is trying to drain the laurentian great lakes
