people always jump to assuming creating an infrastructure that requires less reliance on cars means a flat out ban on cars when really we just desperately need more alternatives to being stuck on the car-only model. of course, rural areas and disabilities and such will mean that cars are sometimes necessary, but there's so much that a fully functional public transit system can do!!

this kind of thing is funny every time it comes up. there's nothing wrong with having fitness goals to get shredded, but don't do it just to get women lol. do it for you!!!

he's spider jerusalem from the comic transmetropolitan! an edgy journalist guy.

I'm so sorry :-( that sounds so miserable and scary. all I can say is, hang in there. I can't imagine how you're dealing with this. hope you get your support network back as soon as possible.

jackson is a great resource haha, thanks! I suppose it's somewhere between boredom, attention and generally being quite vocal.
