Petra van Cronenburg<p>The latest (climate destroying) insanity that rich people and TikTok influencers are feeding on: "This <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/berry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>berry</span></a> looked as if it had a personal trainer, a facialist and a team of dedicated stylists ... as if the process of perfecting a natural thing had been pushed past the point of human enjoyment."
