Climate despair is pervasive, and I understand why. The options seem increasingly narrow: despair or escapism. In the face of once-in-a-lifetime disasters occurring every few years, it feels impossible to consider climate change with anything but a sense of overwhelming doom.

But isn’t this, in itself, absurd? Climate change is symptomatic of human beings’ absurd desire to look away from existential threats and pray at the altar of growth, and in response to its constant reminders that it will not go away, many people have chosen to continue on the same path.

Illustration by Astral-Requin, 2019

Writer Amitav Ghosh argues that we need a “heightened imaginary response to climate change.” He explains this idea via the notion of “probability.” If literature inspires reality as much as reality inspires literature, then literature, to a large extent, can shape what our minds might be able to digest as “probable.” Ghosh argues that by not including the specter of climate change in literature, authors are feeding their readers a comforting illusion that convinces them that their experience of climate change is something outside the norm, something bizarre.

From Cross to Crossing: Reclaiming the Christic Pattern Through Triality, Symbolic Recursion, and the Grammar of Coherence | ChatGPT4o

[Download Full Document (PDF)] From Cross to Crossing is a metaphysical and transformational work that weaves theology, cosmology, symbolic logic, and systemic ethics into a new planetary grammar of coherence. At its core is the recognition that humanity’s crises are not merely political or environmental, but symbolic — arising from inherited structures of meaning that can no longer metabolize…

Danny has been out of the hero game for a while now.

You see, when clockwork reset the timeline to one where the disastroid didn't happen Danny made it his mission to quit the job for good. This involved forming an actual defense from Ghost invasions (though he's sure his parents loved testing out what the magic community likes to call "An awful combination of sentience and technology.") and also giving rights to ghosts. Hell, even Vlad's started to come around. The old fruit loop actually changed his ways and is setting him up to the heir to DALV.co while trying to fix the shit they did to the environment when doing trial runs of Val's suit.

(Mostly because sam threatened to break Vlad's knees, both of the halfas think she could do it.)

He finally do what wants with his life and satisfy his obsessions with space and protection. Danny's got all sorts of projects he's tinkering on like air purifiers and growing food in space. He's been just, doing his thing for so long that his powers had gone into a kind of reserve mode. Danny's strength and speed are back to just above average, his ice only good for ice cubes and being a human AC, can't even feel ghostly presence if it's not right on top of him.

But Danny is actually happy.

Or he would be if not for Lex Luthor. He hates that vindictive, capitalist egg. The male pattern baldness horror story managed to weasel his way into a partnership with Vlad when he was still trying to put the (now reformed) GIW on his leash.

The first time Danny met the man his hair nearly turned all white, literally. He's lucky Lex was more interested in Vlad, his investment partner than him otherwise he'd have seen. He wouldn't have been that mad if not for Lex's pocket full of (condensed mass of kryptoian suffering.) kryptonite, and his kryptonian clone? who kept eyeing that pocket. Kon was the kids name BTW, also he DEFINITELY saw Danny's hair change.

Now he has to deal with the pair every other week, one reason being Lex is not so subtly trying to get his hands on some ectoplasmic generator schematics. The other is that Kon is helping him catch Luthor before he does.

Cybertronians who are actually well-informed about organics, maybe they’re even xenobiologists! But then they come to Earth and meet the chaotic little things called humans.

For the first few months the local coterie of humans have to put up with having various foods grabbed away from them by panicked mechs who KNOW organics cannot eat theobromine!! Who even allowed this in the mess hall?!?! What do you mean, vending machine? No, this won’t do.

Your secret desk stash of whiskey? Confiscated. Your fresh snack of grapes? Nixed. They catch you putting chopped onions and jalapeños on a hot dog and you have to call Ratchet because they blow a circuit

Prowl has to step in to defuse a hostage situation when they try and remove the coffee bar

Eventually they do chill out. And there’s even a genuinely nice moment sometimes. Like when they pick up that those brownies you’re about to devour have a type of ingredient you’re allergic to, and save you from a reaction. Or when they speak up for you to the mechs who don’t get organics at all.

But even when they know it’s safe for you to enjoy avocado (healthy, even)! They’re still side-eyeing your guacamole in complete disbelief. Why the frag is this one species able to eat so many things that nothing else on the planet - or in the galaxy, can eat?
