Know what’s another #latecapitalism grift? #Carbonoffsets and #carboncredits that turn out again and again to be nothing more than awful, pay-to-emit schemes that harmfully distract us with #netzero illusion.

@grammargirl Yes, 108.
You can see it in action on playingcards.io here:
@grammargirl You can make custom decks! I did this when I designed my game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.
