A fabulous article pouring beautifully poetic scorn on Musk's 'colonise Mars' horseshit, about "the Earth uninhabitable for the sake of leaving it for someplace even worse". You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why anyone believes this nonsense: defector.com/neither-elon...

"Fascists like Musk and Trump hate creativity, imagination, daring, playfulness, people who speak of dreams and build pictures of a future predicated in decency, compassion, courage, connection."
Let's envision and exemplify the better future we want together because we can't let dystopias win. 💭🌱🌄🤩
