Morology

A lot of anti-urbanism people try to hit you with a gotcha of “what if I live in a tiny town in the middle of fuck off nowhere” and it’s like??? Yeah I also think that small isolated towns should also have transportation provided to them? That’s what the government should be for? People in those places shouldn’t be forced to own cars to live either?

Small towns also deserve train or bus route or ferry connections to other towns and usable sidewalks and public transit if applicable? And if not possible there should be a small airport? And a way to get to the airport without a car? For both disabled and able bodied people? Why is this controversial to you? Why do you assume I’m forgetting about these places?

Black Friday is such a joke nowadays. “Don’t miss out on 30% off” don’t piss me the fuck off. People used to hit each other over the head for a microwave that’s how low the prices were. People literally died. We used to be a country

I love tumblr because you can see someone get obsessed with a thing in real time

rotisserie chickens are a cost-effective way to feed a small family, or for one strange adult woman to experience the joy of a predator tearing apart a carcass

Not to sound mushy, but stories about two lonely characters from vastly different worlds finding solace with each other always appeal to me

You know what makes it even better? If one of them is sort of evil.

If there's one person on a bus because that person cannot or doesn't want to drive, the bus is succeeding.

I read a study once on the fuel efficiency of various types of commuter vehicles (car, bus, train) on a per person basis and the number of people needed riding public transit to match the "efficiency" of cars is shockingly low. A bus needs to carry like 3-4 people to be fuel efficient, and trains require 2-3 per train car. Both often carry two dozen or more during peak hours, more than justifying any perceived requirements for efficiency for the train or bus to provide service the entire day.

why aren’t all mugs microwave safe. grow up.

Freaky Ted is living up to his name.

I can see people’s auras but I don’t believe in that stuff so I just ignore it

One thing I really like about how we use the affordances of tumblr is how reblogging yourself is used to break textposts up. It's not just a novel form of punctuation, it's effectively borrowing a structural trick from comics.

Space is time.

boxers and a house robe. the thinking man's pajamas. the boxers say "i have worryingly low standards for what pizza i will eat" but the robe says "i have read at least one book"
