#unsustainable — Public Fediverse posts

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/aug/16/it-is-not-only-a-future-certainty-the-disaster-is-already-here-why-we-need-climate-fiction. The problem is, we are faced not just with #climatecrisis, but with #Polycrisis, including, e.g., #resource #depletion, various forms of #pollution, #biodiversity #loss & #overpopulation, as well as the threat of #armed #conflicts. The grotesque #inequality of the #capitalist #system makes it completely #unsustainable, as does its #ecological #parasitism. Failing any successful efforts to change it, it will #collapse. How do you represent THAT in #fiction?

In summary, #water #emergencies are best avoided by good #long-term #monitoring of water flows and #quality, preserving the #eastern slopes for the #natural #retention of water, and #planning for #sustainable #demand through water #modelling that accommodates #climateChange scenarios and maintains #healthy flow #regimes for aquatic #ecosystems. Relying on ad hoc inter-basin #transfers of water to meet #unsustainable demand is not an adequate response in the long term.

#Unsustainable by #KleeBenally

"All my rage bleeds out my throat
into rivers that used to flow
into canyons painting these deserts
so that they will grow. (once again)

is it too late
to rethink this?
on the eve of another apocalypse…
how far are will willing to go
to resist?
how far are will willing to go?

we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

are you still waiting and hoping this will all go away?
or for a better cage or more comfortable chains?
while these roots wither and they decay
well, its not broken, it’s made this way…
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

and if the structures don’t change?
and the control remains the same?
they bring terror but they have names
so fuck your votes, your politicians, and reforms
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

end this cycle
destroy what destroys us

we can’t sustain."

- 2019, Klee Benally
