A smolnet post I made on doomerism and dead cities

(NOTE: this is mainly hosted on the gemini protocol, a New to Me thing that I’ve really enjoyed. If you want to get into the small internet, check out gemini.circumlunar.space

If you’re already a geminaut(?) you can find this post here: gemini://okasen.smol.pub/dead-cities)

I wanted to share this post I wrote on my tiny blog because it inspired me while writing it, so I thought it might inspire others to read it. The summary is “All life is futile so live anyways”

Also, I wanted to share how nice the smol internet is. It’s really refreshing to write a post and know that it’ll only be seen if I choose to share it (like, here) or put it on a feed like Antenna. I don’t need to worry about too-catchy titles or clickbait or dreaded SEO.

I barely even edited this, mostly because I wrote it in vim and that sounds like a nightmare. But I’d love to know y’all’s thoughts.

(Also I wasn’t sure if this REALLY fit into solarpunk as a broad community, but… well I’m putting it here anyways. That said if anyone else wants a solarpunk-adjacent-personal-blogs community, I can make one and moderate?)
