We used to have thousands of these in my backyard as a kid every summer. Now I rarely see them. We've done a great job at destroying our ecosystems in record time. We're so fucked

The powers that be want us to go straight from "let's vote harder" to "it's over". There's a huge range of fucked we can be - if what is lost is worth crying over, then what's left is worth fighting over.

Eh, they're going to be surprised when the "it's over" phase comes with retribution anyways.

French revolution noises

There are still some areas where they are common, they're just more hidden now because the species is adverse to light pollution I'm pretty sure.
