Climate chaos is here. Extinction? Right around the corner. I study social psychology and put a positive spin on our impending doom. 💛 #climatecrisis #climateanxiety #sociology #planetaryhospice

Understand the science. Hope = misplaced faith. Rage can by used to fix a problem, but again—the science. We're in planetary hospice. WASF. But when it's over, the pain will be over—maybe universally—forever. Tend to the suffering of others. Live/love in the time we have left. Be kind. Do good. 💛

I write to soothe my soul and to get out of my head for a while. It's just for fun. My novels explore meaning, suffering, social systems, collapse, compassion, power, and alienation. Our growing climate crisis is the backdrop that exposes those deeper questions. All are FREE. Enjoy. 💛 rb.gy/t7aca1

Gates owns approximately 275,000 acres of farmland across 19 states in the US, making him the largest private owner of farmland in the country. Insane tariffs will bankrupt farmers so billionaires can acquire foreclosed farmland— owning our entire food systems. It's a cla$$ war. Connect the dots. 💛

What's being expressed isn't misanthropy—it's moral anguish over an uncomfortable truth. Dismissing the question as 'hating humanity' misses the point entirely. The recognition of our impending end hurts precisely because it comes from empathy, not from its absence. 💛 shorturl.at/hx5zD

The Compassionate Case for Extinction: May We Rest in Peace

Doomer? The Doomee perspective acknowledges the same reality (WASF), but transforms how we relate to it. No need to rage, build community or save the world. You just need to ask yourself: "How can I reduce suffering right now, in this moment?" 💛 #collapse #doom adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

Right?

"Our role becomes... being present with frameworks, support, and companionship for those who find their way to collapse awareness. This shifts the central question from 'Should we wake people up?' to 'How do we cultivate our ability to care during collapse, whatever form it takes?'" 💛

"The bell will ring on its own. Our systems are failing visibly. People are starting to notice that something is deeply wrong. Our job isn't to be the alarm—it's to be the ones with blankets and hot tea when people stumble out into the cold dawn of awareness." 💛

"When we dump this same information on unprepared minds, we're essentially conducting trauma exposure without consent or support systems. The result is often not enlightenment but psychological damage—anxiety, depression, panic, and sometimes destructive behavior." 💛

"Every person we 'wake up' serves as validation that we're not delusional. Each new member of the collapse-aware community is proof that our assessment of reality is accurate. We're not trying to help them see the truth—we're trying to help ourselves believe we're still sane." 💛

Positively Doomed @positivelydoomed.bsky.social · 23/08/2025
Feel the need to make others collapse-aware? Should you wake them? Spoiler: You may be hurting more than helping. The urge to ring the bell reveals uncomfortable truths about our motives and unintended consequences. 💛 #climatechange #collapse #socpsych #wasf adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

Climate denialism isn't about stupidity. It's about our brains being unable to process the death of every framework we've built to avoid thinking about death. This is "Meta-Death Anxiety." And it explains everything.💛 #climatechange #climateaxiety #collapse adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

Will you spend your remaining awareness hiding from reality, or present with it? Neither choice will save the world. But one of them is what consciousness looks like when it chooses itself. One of them leaves you alive and awake, if not for yourself, then to help those around you. 💛

Mass dissociation represents a form of collective suicide—not of the body, but of consciousness itself. We're becoming absent from our own lives, our own world, our own historical moment. Physically present but experientially elsewhere. Breathing but not really alive. 💛

As existential threats multiply, many slip into survival mode—defaulting to cognitive shortcuts, tribalism, and protecting "ours." The suffering escalates exponentially because our diminished thinking prevents us from solving what's creating the overwhelm. DEVO saw this spiral coming decades ago.
