This Month in the Apocalypse: Feb. 2023

Brooke 00:15 Hello and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. This is the February-March installment of our segment, This Month in the Apocalypse and I'm calling it the February-March episode because we're recording in February and we're talking about February but you're going to be listening to it in March, most likely. I'm Brooke Jackson, and with me today, as usual are the quick thinking Casandra and the fast acting Margaret Killjoy.

Casandra 00:38 I don't know if that's accurate.

Margaret 00:42 Or at least fast talking sometimes, especially when I'm hyper. And today I'm hyper

Casandra 00:46 half of what I'm going to talk about today is brain fog and how it impacts me.

Brooke 00:51 Nice. Well, before we get into today's episode, we'd like to share a little something something from another one of the swiftly streaming podcasts on the Channel Zero network of anarchist podcasts.

Casandra 01:17 And we're back. Cas, Margaret, how are you feeling today?

Casandra 01:51 I just had my first sip of tea.

Margaret 01:55 I have been doom scrolling so hard that I didn't sleep last night because of all the anti trans legislation. So I didn't sleep enough and then I ate a protein cookie and pretended like it was food. So I'm great.

Casandra 02:07 And you don't do caffeine at all. Not even tea.

Margaret 02:09 No, yeah, a bunch of sugar and protein in a cookie form is my equivalent of like making me immediately hyper.

Casandra 02:18 Alright.

Margaret 02:19 Because I don't fuck with caffeine. I'm straight edge, except for alcohol.

Brooke 02:24 Well good, you should take all that energy and tell us some things.

Margaret 02:29 Oh, okay, right. I'm first. Okay, February has been a big month for the apocalypse. The Apocalypse is coming in hard with a bunch of mostly really bad shit. I think that the biggest story, or whatever, the earthquake that happened in Turkey and Syria was really fucking bad. Everyone probably already knows
