"War on cars" THERE IS A WAR ON WALKING. THE OLDEST AND MOST BASIC FORM OF TRANSPORTATION IS UNDER THREAT. Poor land use, zoning, and transportation decisions could be the direct culprit. Could your right to walk freely and to accomplish your basic needs be under threat?

The things that trump has said today are even more insane than usual. Like, I know we know he's insane, but I also feel like we can't just let these things go either. It doesn't matter how much of a landslide the midterms may or may not be

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

It's wild how many people will say "get these MEN out of girls sports!" Like, we're talking about children. There are no men or women here. They are all kids. The amount of grown ass adults who are eager to bully children is unconscionable.

I've always been of the belief that executions and the "death penalty" shouldn't exist. The state shouldn't have the power to kill, and it's obviously not a deterrent to violent crime in any way. It's more expensive to put someone to death than it is to keep them alive in prison for life.

My local bar and burger place just demolished its outdoor seating area for 5 parking spots. It's a no-brainer, according to the owner. They quite literally have a bus stop right in front of their front door. People are so not normal about parking.

Was feeling mentally icky so I decided to clean up this corner of the kitchen. I feel marginally better and it's way less gross and bad to look at over here.

Jennifer chose violence in the neighborhood FB group this morning, so I responded in kind.
Comment from neighbor: Speaking as a bike commuter & walker, I love No Right Turn on Red! My friend was killed in Capitol Hill this year by a car turning right on red and not looking. This saves lives and does not significantly increase your driving commute time enough to treat this like a major problem.

Jennifer: I’m sorry about your friend. Hit while walking? I ask because sometimes bicyclist are not as careful as they should be either. I bike and drive btw. 
You are wrong though that no turn on reds do increase traffic time especially in these times of increased construction. 
We do need our economy to run and sometimes that means getting somewhere in a reasonable time with all the return to work mandates.

Me (Andy): Jennifer "Sorry your friend died. Was it their fault? My 5 saved seconds are more important than their life anyway". Utterly deranged comment. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Not to feed into the Public Fear Machine or anything, but it at least feels like the number of random shootings and stabbings and also road violence has been high this year. People were killed less than a block from the window I slept near for a year in Belltown.

Fun fact, if you spend roughly a third of your life in New England, then Texas, and then the PNW, you will probably get some interesting results on these quizzes.

I dislike when smart people start acting stupid, either intentionally or not. I start wondering if I'm wrong, even though I logically know I'm not. I've had to correct two different managers multiple times this week and I've felt insane every time, but I've been right every time so far, so...

It's crazy what you can do with a bit of paint and the political will to make change. Put 60ft articulated buses on a BRT line with good headways and you've basically got light rail capacity at a fraction of the hard costs.

Reposting myself because although I'm not an artist, I'm a writer. I wrote and read and gained skill through the normal human experience, which a robot could simply never have.
