Climate chaos is here. Extinction? Right around the corner. I study social psychology and put a positive spin on our impending doom. đź’› #climatecrisis #climateanxiety #sociology #planetaryhospice

I write to soothe my soul and to get out of my head for a while. It's just for fun. My novels explore meaning, suffering, social systems, collapse, compassion, power, and alienation. Our growing climate crisis is the backdrop that exposes those deeper questions. All are FREE. Enjoy. đź’› rb.gy/t7aca1

My Doomee Books

While my novels (so far) tend to be classified as Climate Fiction (Cli-Fi), they aren't really "about climate change" in the conventional sense. I write about meaning, suffering, social systems, colla...

Doomer? The Doomee perspective acknowledges the same reality (WASF), but transforms how we relate to it. No need to rage, build community or save the world. You just need to ask yourself: "How can I reduce suffering right now, in this moment?" đź’› #collapse #doom adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

We evolved not just the capacity for cruelty, but the appetite for it. Our brains reward us for causing pain. The same psychology driving MAGA has deeper roots than you think.

Cruelty is the Point: From Slaughterhouses to MAGA

Cruelty isn't accidental—it's the point. We are a species that has evolved not just the capacity for cruelty, but the appetite for it.

As more people retreat into digital worlds and comfortable delusions, those of us who remain conscious become increasingly rare. We are the last who still experience what it feels like to be fully alive, fully present, fully human. Read my latest? đź’› #collapse adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

The Great Disconnection: Our Collective Dissociation from an Unbearable Reality

We are living through the Great Disconnection—the mass psychological exodus from a reality that has become too much for human consciousness to bear.

Climate denialism isn't about stupidity. It's about our brains being unable to process the death of every framework we've built to avoid thinking about death. This is "Meta-Death Anxiety." And it explains everything.đź’› #climatechange #climateaxiety #collapse adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

Nowhere to Run: Meta-Death Anxiety

I call this meta-death anxiety: not the fear of death itself, but the fear of losing the very stories and frameworks that made death bearable.

Do you feel the state of the world is just too much to handle? That's because it is. I don't monetize or try to build an audience. I write hoping I can soothe even one heart broken by the awareness of an unraveling world—a gesture of kinship, a gentle echo of understanding.💛 PositivelyDoomed.com

No creative writing since tackling my novel. Feels good to stretch. A short story about a world where sitting still without a phone makes you the monster. An influencer spots someone just—existing, not scrolling. She discovers what we've all become.💛 #collapse adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

You scroll past burning forests with the same emotional register as banana bread recipes. It's not denial—it's something deeper. We're the first humans asked to care about everything, everywhere, all at once. And we're failing spectacularly.💛 #climatecollapse adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

The psychology that makes some deny climate science also makes them protect powerful predators. DEVO called it 50 years ago: we'd voluntarily surrender our capacity for rational thought and choose tribal loyalty over evidence. We are DEVO! đź’› #climate #epstein adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

I was 8 when I had my first panic attack, lying awake terrified of "forever." The pain of awareness explains why we organize civilization around not thinking, not feeling—and why fascists thrive by offering the same comfort as Netflix.💛 #collapse #climate #cope adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

I used to hand out pink slips for a living. Watched companies die from the inside. The patterns I learned in HR are playing out on a planetary scale. Whispered meetings, the atmospheric shift, the executives looting on their way out. We're not crazy—we're just early💛 #climatecollapse rb.gy/2sfva5

This one will make me loads of friends. If you still believe in god, have fun. But don't drag the rest of us down with you. Pay attention to politics or discussions on climate collapse? You may have noticed folks don't have their thinking/caring caps on. đź’› adannoone.wixsite.com/positivelydo...

"Every day gets hotter than the one before Running outta water It's about to go down Air that kill the bees that we depend upon Birds were made for singing Waking up to no sound I know you know my pain I really thought this world would change But it just seems the same" Feels Like Summer by Glover đź’›

In the throes of planetary collapse, those hoping for a reversal remind me of family members hit with the crushing news that a loved one has terminal cancer. "We're gonna beat this thing!" Even if they have no say. Even when it won't work. Even though the fight will prolong and increase the agony. đź’›

Maybe my heart has always been broken, allowing in the light, giving me the unenviable ability to feel the pain of every living being. Or maybe I just wasn't made for this world—an aberration in a shared human evolution that favored the conquerors, the violent, the uncaring. 💛
