The Amazon Rainforest has been on fire for a few weeks and I don’t give a shit.
I had to do a report on rainforests in third grade. It was trash. Maybe it’s just me but I feel like rainforests are the only thing they teach you about in 3rd grade. Brutal year. Anyway, I didn’t care about rainforests then and I definitely don’t care about them now.
Now if you think that this is insensitive or selfish may I remind you that you don’t care either.
Oh you beg to differ? Wait have you sent money to the relief efforts? Left your job, bought a hose, and went to fight the fires yourself? No? Well then I guess we’re in the same boat.
Maybe you’re one of those people that tweeted about how horrible the fires are. That’s sweet. And useless. Oh and by the way if you tweeted something like “wow fires have been raging in the Amazon and ya’ll are just tweeting about the fish tube smh we really live in a world, why doesn’t the news report this stuff” then you are the worst type of person. We’ve all got to stop saying the phrase “why doesn’t the news report on x”. They did. I promise you they did. You just don’t read the news because the news sucks. You get your news from Instagram and Twitter (which is fine and what we all do) and that’s why you never hear the stories you just hear the outrage.
So the Amazon Rainforest is burning down. So what? We are going to lose a few spotted leopards? Well let me tell you, I also had to do a report on spotted leopards in 3rd grade and, guess what, they ain’t that interesting either!
