Synopsis

Dumptruck wants what every girl wants: to be involved in a climate activist organization, meet the love of her life, and ride off into the sunset after they’ve solved the climate crisis. Cirrocumulus just wants to end the climate crisis, and if he has to spend the rest of his life recruiting VERY peppy post grads to do it, so be it. So . . . is this a date or is this a one-on-one? Is it either if time starts to loop and then break apart and they’re trapped in this empty work cafe with any semblance of hope quickly vanishing? Or is it something else entirely? Dumb Bitch Juice invites you to grab a straw (or bring your own) and get into the muck of organizing with us.
