Live in one of those “rural suburbs” (line of houses surrounded by fields) in Louisiana.
Was smokin a bowl outside last night. Saw the mosquito truck come down the road, spraying a fog of insecticides to keep the population down and all I can think is “if we didn’t flatten everything for miles around with empty lawns and mono crops, we’d still have enough dragonflies to eat the mosquitoes instead of spraying chemicals into our air that kill the dragonflies too”

Lmao. No if they didnt flatten and drain it all you wouldnt be living there.
You do understand that people lived on the land that is this state well before settlers destroyed it, right?
Heck, before colonizers, the natives called my area “place where the edible fern grows”, but now there are no ferns :(
