#richmond va

there is so much insane shit happening right now that i don't have the mental capacity to write an extensive post about this, but Richmond, Virginia has been without water for three days and will likely continue to be out of water until Friday.

in 2020, Richmond was ordered by its General Assembly to overhaul the city's combined sewer system, which would have included improvements to the water treatment plant. the problem is that the GA never.. actually allocated any money for it. Richmond completed the plans, but COVID hit in 2020 and the GA failed to allocate the money in any of the annual budgets since then.

I don't know how "DnD Airport" works but it seems to involve a bus like the best season of Dimension 20 so consider me interested.

what was the memory?

i. it was captured as if it was not to be remembered. a moment and a place. somewhere. could it be so forgotten it finds itself erased?

ii. it was a building, head held high as so. lines that could cut; a mirror that could sear the light unto itself. it moved in unnatural ways, in a natural passage throughout the years.

iii. texture_1_wwtm. they bloomed from the older growth. nothing more would be said about that from any who were there.

iv. texture_2_wwtm. it was an unforgiving vein which she could not pierce. the blood eventually drew.

v. texture_3_wwtm. at times, it even felt a comfort. she could imagine how this must have felt before; a nestling and a burrowing, as if it had always belonged.

vi. texture_4_wwtm. the sun; it dappled. she was thirsty, and she was tired. thirst was easy. the feeling of thirst? how it lingered long after it was gone? that was not.
