reconnect (11.11.2023)

In a dimly lit Room full of Emptiness,
In the flickering of Candlelight,
The Shadows come dancing back to Life.

To live is the rarest thing in the World.
Doom Is in the Eye of the Beholder.

A bit over two years ago I basically stepped out of a time machine, and although I’m from the past — I can safely say we’re pretty damn fucked.
What a wild and crazy ride it has been since the 10th April 2023, when I glanced at the temperatures, them being mind-blowing 19 degrees Celsius at a quarter to midnight near Frankfurt, Germany after reading Umair Haque’s essay “The Age of Extinction Is Here — Some of Us Just Don’t Know It Yet” and suddenly becoming really collapse aware and painstakingly instant collapse accepting. This poem, essay, Index of Doom or however one might call this, is a collection of some of my favorite essays, each line usually being the title of the hyperlinked essay by one of the wonderful people listed below in the credits, each essay being worth read by itself! Lots of fun deep diving into the doomosphere!

I have ADHD, social anxiety and translate essays from Beyond the Abyss to German. I also seem to be having long COVID (four months in). You can flip a coin or two into my hat over at ko-fi, should you so wish to.

And as none of the translated essays have actually generated any form of revenue whatsoever, please feel free to open up a portal to Amsterdam on Valentines Day so I can finally tip you a cup of coffee (or tea with milk and sugar), enjoy your company and listen to your story while drowning in your eyes, milady! I really, really need a break from Doomscrolling and a short vacation anyway and would love to show you the city… ☕ :)

On a personal note and as a former high functioning alcoholic now 7+ year sober, I’m also part of the Weedmob, the unification of German Anti Prohibition groups and individuals fighting for our basic human rights and against state, mainstream and social media disinformation and propaganda. Any support is more than welcome over on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Support your local weedmob! Prohibition kills! Thank you!

My deepest thanks to all authors and writers for sharing your essays, stories, thoughts, insights, hopes, fears, knowledge, inspiration… and love.
