I am so incredibly glad I have no surviving children. [View all]

Apologies if this is TMI, but it's true.

My only son died of natural causes as an infant, and I have had numerous miscarriages.

It was pain beyond belief.

Now, I'm grateful.

This planet is going to hell.
More and more, I am convinced we are going to have the runaway greenhouse effect that turned Venus into a hellscape.
I think it will happen in my lifetime. (Gen-X)

Before that happens, I expect to see Fascism take over the globe politically.

I'll continue to fight, do what I can, but every day I feel our doom getting closer.
