i can't wait until i get enough clout in my job to be bitchy. not like, be a bitch, but be bitchy. i work in climate change and decarbonization. i need to be bitchy. like imagine
a company's emission disclosures and their sustainability goals are literally just a post on facebook
no i cannot 'move your emissions' so you 'don't need to disclose it'
bezos earth fund????
this american organization's website is somehow subtly hyper-american and i don't trust it. like it's not actually extremely american but it feels like only 1) an american who's 2) writing this for politicians could've made this website. the vibes are rancid.
bezos earth fund???
your company cares so much about sustainability that you're following all of these standards and certifications AND your company is on the board for/founded the organizations who publish them? so you're patting yourself on the back for meeting international standards that you set?
am I being overtly cynical about this? do they genuinely want to help? I genuinely want to help and yet I am doing so in a capitalist structure even though capitalism caused most of this. how can you dismantle something using the same structure that caused it? i don't know if you can. i don't know how else to do it? i can't be that special. how many people are like me in those companies? Do they genuinely want to help? Are these measures and standards that they set actually useful? are the sustainability reports actually good or does it just sound good?
morality crisis
bezos earth fund???
#me.txt#adulting#bezos earth fund??? he doesn't even want to stay on earth#also why do i trust the bill gates fund more than the bezos fund? pr? am I right to or should I distrust both? or trust both?#i can't do that#i also kinda want to talk to my coworkers about the morality crisis genuinely instead of just making bitchy comments but like#you can't talk about politics at work? (which is dumb since what i am doing is inherently political)#but you also can't say I DON'T KNOW IF WHAT I'M DOING HERE HAS MEANING at work!#anyway people self select anyway. i can guess the political alignment of most people on my team#i can guess how they feel about jeff bezos. like diversity is key yes but there's really only a certain type of person who does this#anyway the thing about cynicism is that it's never fixed anything. social change didn't come because people were being cynical#it came because they were... angry? and idealistic? god idk i'm hungry
