This article on #LOTE has long been a passion project of mine. I can’t express how grateful I am to the brilliant Sarah Sharpe at JISS/Aberdeen for making time/space for (as I was then) unaffiliated ECRs to develop their research and make that idea a thing. jiss.aberdeenunipress.org/article/411/...

They're not just killing the people, they're killing anything that brings joy in the midst of suffering. Eradication of lives, culture, kindness, empathy. Hard not to think the human race is doomed.
