I do care.

I care that our tennis season is wrecked by dust storms that never used to happen.

I care that summers are so hot no one wants to ride bikes anymore.

I care that Dad has to run school shooter drills every week at practice.

I care that AI makes me question everything that is real.

I care that no one talks at lunch because we’re all doom-scrolling on our phones.

I care that a Presidential election is happening with two old swamp trolls playing the greatest hits—states’ rights, gay rights, gun rights, whatever rights will bribe your vote—rather than acknowledging our world is going to hell.

I care that the climate is fucked, the debt is fucked, the system is fucked, and politicians are so old and corrupt, they’ll never fix anything because
they know they’re gonna die before the shitstorm hits them in the face like the rest of us.
