I yearn for a rigid heddle loom so I can weave scarves and shawls so I can romantically drape them around myself and wait at the seaside for my long lost lover to return. Plot twist - she's at work...or downstairs in the basement questioning her romantic life choices.

I really love living in a big city, but...can we just kick all the men out? I feel like the majority of my problems with strangers end up involving a man.

My brain, for no reason: you're absolute shit, unlovable, and you should probably just die. Me: It's not even noon yet, wtf.

Apparently it's a 90s themed dress day at work and I forgot. Thankfully, I look like a goth girl that never left the 90s every day anyway. So... technically I'm in theme.

I wish more people understood that if I'm reading a book - that is the universal sign of "do not fucking talk to me. I do not want a conversation." I'm reading, shut up lol.

TIL that right turns on red was allowed in the US after the 70s oil crisis to save fuel. ROR turn lanes are incredibly high for pedestrian and cycle crashes. Yet...it saves fuel, so who cares? Killing people: fine Human-focused infrastructure: the woke left agenda. Wtf...

Honestly, Europeans are right about a lot of shit that we get wrong in America. This is not bread. This is toast. You will not change my mind.

I'm still watching videos about street infrastructure and as an American I'm allowed to say this: The Europeans are right. We hate roundabouts bc Americans don't know how to use them. They're better than signaled intersections - y'all just don't know how to drive.

I watched a video about crosswalks and apparently, some have these flags you're supposed to hold while crossing the street instead of idk - making infrastructure slow cars down. If my city does this, I'm trying bricks to all the flags to throw at cars to make it even easier for them to see ppl.

Tldr - stroads suck. Cars suck. Design urban streets for bikes and walking - not cars Ty for coming to my Ted Talk 😂

And as a pedestrian they feel IMPOSSIBLE to cross bc you've got so many wide, high traffic lanes and barely any sidewalk space. Stroads are literally the worst kind of hybrid piece of infrastructure in an urban environment, and shit would be better if we had human - focused infrastructure.

They suck to bike on because while the cars are not as fast as a proper road - it's still faster than street traffic so you're sharing a path with heavy, fast, metal boxes that can smack into you if a driver isn't paying attention - bc of course there's no protected bike lane on a stroad - fuck that

Like, a futon is if your shitty couch and shitty bed got fused together to make a single piece of furniture that functions as neither. Same with a stroad. They suck to drive on because your speeds are reduced - which leads to more traffic congestion.

Now that I bike everywhere, I find myself consuming a lot of material on urban infrastructure and this video I was listening to called stroads the "futon of the street" and now I can't unsee it.

It's not ok to touch strangers. It's not ok to touch strangers. It's not fucking OK to touch strangers. Bweh 💀

So are Pepperoni the nipples of the pizza?

alder @alderfae.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Shit I didn't expect to say today: Me: time to go home, y'all can't jump off of the furniture for a tiktok trend.

Had a random driver at the crosswalk roll down her window and compliment my look today. Apparently I am serving cunt, this fine Wednesday morning 😂

So, if my taxes are being funded for stuff by the government - then why does everything still suck? How do we know that it's not all just being horded underground for a big ass dragon? Dragons ❤️ gold. Gold = 💰💵 If the govt isn't funding Big Dragon then why are all the govt buildings so big???

I must look out for my trash brethren

Also on that note - fuck seagulls. Seagulls are the real villains out here.

Pigeons are a totally underrated bird and no one can convince me otherwise. Fuck the "rats with wings" slander - #teampigeon

I mean, it makes sense. Big city means more people in and out everyday, and even in small towns there are aggressive people - just more likely to see it when in a big city bc of high population - so security usually deters people from acting up.

Like...it's literally in our policy to bring people to security if they need to make calls for a ride, or in his case an emergency contact. I was heading up to security thinking the guy was behind me - next thing I know he's banging chairs around so I head to security FAST. Dude ended up leaving.

A lot of libraries in large cities have security just bc you have lots of ppl coming in and out and sometimes ppl can get aggressive. Basically dude said he was about to have a manic episode, which I understand as someone who is bipolar - but the phones at reference are not public use.

Bonus: I literally had to do story time right after and just act like everything is chill 😂

Love having a patron get extremely aggressive with me to the point where my manager urges me to get to a secure area just bc I told him I have to contact security if he needs to use the phone...bc our desk phones are not public...

I feel like it's hard for me this time of year to look more unapproachable - I'm in a big puffy coat looking like a goth marshmallow lol.

Exactly! I just wanna sip my coffee, maybe read a book or listen to a video. And like, the other person was nice and all but like...I just don't feel like talking 😆

alder @alderfae.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

I'm gonna need old ppl on the bus to realize that having headphones on my head and watching tiktok on my phone is a universal sign of: NO I DO NOT WANNA MAKE SMALL TALK. Even without these markers, I do not wanna make small talk. Just don't talk to me. Lemme watch silly videos and ride to work.
