Only falling cow numbers is compatible with a livable future (and present.) There is an excess of cows. There needs to be a correction in the number of cows. We must bend the cow curve downwards. There must be a decumulation of cows, a de-escalation, a degrowth of cows.

in reply to Irenes (many) • • •@ireneista yeah, it's funny. just a while ago i sent a docx file containing over 700k characters of text and got very suspicious when the file size was under 500kB. but no, it contained all the text, i guess it's packed somehow.
