Did you know? Increasing levels: Concentrations of microplastics in the brain have been found to be increasing over time, with a roughly 50% rise between 2016 and 2024 in one study.

Or that 75% of your brain is water. Or that it takes 20 years for a plastic bag to break down and up to 450 years for a plastic bottle or even longer for you to sleep soundly in a world that won’t stop buzzing and shaking you up in the night like a science experiment they’ve left too long alone and now all reasoning evaporates out through your gaping mouth, one that tries to scream but can’t think of words. It just crinkles up in tight digital half thought of me meme. No one laughs out loud anymore. Everyone is see sick sick of sea-ing towards rest still waters but always bereft and stillless. Always shook up and searching for the right words to describe this world wild dark web of night.
