I’ll be honest, I don’t know what we’re celebrating.
The planet has been on a slow roll into oblivion. 2024 will be the hottest year in recorded human history and we’ll probably pass the irreversibility threshold for average global temperature.
There are multiple extremely unsettling ongoing global humanitarian crises: Chinese-Uyghur, Russo-Ukrainian, the latest Israeli conflict*.
What exactly are we celebrating?
*note: I’m not taking sides. There are atrocities perpetrated by both sides, and grievances experienced by both sides. It just makes me sick generally to think about.
