someone in one of my group chats linked to some news article about

someone in pennsylvania, usa

who decided that the increased number of tornadoes

is due to all the traffic circles

...

the thing is, I think everyone has that sinking off-balance feeling that the weather is going wrong in subtle ways that we can't pin down but can feel in the patterns

and it's climate change

there's other shit going on but it's climate change

and some reputable news outlet is out there talking about someone who's blaming traffic circles as if this is newsworthy as anything bigger than an example of the intensity of that anxiety

maybe the article itself is better than the preview but I don't even ... I can't deal with that

I can deal with not thinking about it because I can't think about it myself but I can't deal with this shit
