Probably feels good to be outside after bein in that cramped space for so long. Or maybe bees don’t really give a shit, I dunno.

Superbugs. Not hyperbole. I don’t think it’ll be nuclear war that gets us, nor will I be around for the worst of climate change to bury me in mud. What I think will get us is the one bacteria that evolves to completely resist our anti-bacterial methods. Once that fella shows up, show’s over for us.
