The human race does not seem to have ever embraced Green Communism on a global scale in the past, why do I think this can possibly happen now?
If it can possibly happen now, what am I going to do to help make this happen?
The interaction between my on-again-off-again Zen meditation with this all Green Communism stuff.
How would I voluntarily limit my own production/consumption to my own personal sustainable share?
If I could do this, why am I not doing it right now? If not now, when? What's my excuse for waiting?

(1) I will try to write without assuming people have access to the past 17 years of my LiveJournal (or 20 years, if you know how to find my first LiveJournal), as though I'm writing for a new audience, although my audience is always ... the journal itself. Hey, new journal, you don't know me, so I'll try not to assume you know anything about me. But I'm not going to start my story from the beginning either. Minimal exposition? We'll just drop in here.
(2) I won't post "friends only" stuff or whatever they call it here. Only public, or private. So some of the details I used to write about in friends only posts won't be available to anybody but me. Public, or private. No in between, no gradations of various friends groups, etc.
(3) I will try to only write about topics that derive from stuff that happens directly to me. Conversations I've had with people, either in person or online. Stuff I've done. Stuff people have done to me. So, for example, I'll only write about the economy if I'm recording an actual conversation I've had about the economy, or a way the economy affected me, or something I've done in response to the economy. Less pontificating and predicting and so forth. But once a topic is sparked by reality, I may follow up in ways that go beyond what I did in person.
(4) Basically this means nothing in here that's purely a reaction to something I've seen in the news media. I'm going to excise the News Junkie, Stock Market, Pandemic, and Econ stuff. But if I'm reading a book, or some poetry, or listening to music, watching a film, I'll write about that stuff. Current events will only find their way into my new journal if I've spoken/texted about them with somebody else. Like, I spoke with Public Health Friend about the Pandemic, and she said ...; or, I invested in a new financial instrument this morning, ticket symbol TBF, ...
(5) As an experiment in avant-garde intentional misgendering, because I want to break down gender stereotypes, I reserve the right to refer in this journal to cisgender males as females, and cisgender females as males. For example, President Trump as "she". But if you are transgender or nonbinary I will do my best to respect your chosen pronouns. I'll try to make an exception for the people who actually read this thing (to the extent I know who you are).
(6) And I guess I'll stop using full names for friends, family, partners, and so forth. Pets will still get their full names, however. I live with T, our pets are named Astrid, Dax, and Sam. The only other person in my Quarantine Bubble right now is K. We'll see who else ranks an initial around here.
(7) I will only post to my journal if earlier that day I've done my required amount of zen meditation.
