Could also consider sitting on items like cakes or balloons, or eating large quantities of foods on camera in a messy way. Peeing on stuff is another popular option.
Yeah, totally unreasonable for people to have seating options. I mean the downsides are just so numerous...
I mean, as an ex smoker i had a "I could try coke maybe?" intrusive thought when I saw nicotine's level compared to cocaine. Lmao
I save posts to check them the next day for this reason. Sorting by new gets boring pretty quick :/
I think their point is that even in situations that able bodied people might consider to have "ample seating," it may not be enough for those with disabilities. 3 minutes of walking between benches, I'd say, would probably be considered pretty ample seating by most city planners. It would be no where near enough for my dad, or for my mom before she went full time in the wheelchair. One solution to this could be something along the lines of the little carts they have at Walmart, but like, owned by the city and able to be checked out for free, combined with some people with mobility issues actually getting a say in how the city is planned out, and where the ramps and stuff are for the sidewalks.
Sweet! Thanks for the reco!
This is bringing a tear to my eye. It's fuckin beautiful
She's a national treasure
Oh this is amazing. What's dough and ray, though?
Anytime!
And I'm sure there are much better introductions, but Vivekananda is a downright gas to learn about. Either the first or second (I forget) blog post was an introduction to the Swamiji and his address at the world's parliament of religion. I hope you enjoy. :)
Ah, okay. Yeah, Runes is my baby. Agnes has been knocking around in my head for years at this point, and I hope to do her justice one day and write an actual, real novel.
Fair warning on the philosophy stuff, I'm batterscained, and it's a bit rambly. If you like nondualism, Hinduism, Vivekananda, etc, it might be interesting. I need to post more. :/
Oh! I thought you meant my comment to the other poster, saying join us, as in the anarchists.
Joining up, I think, just emails you if I ever manage to post anything. When you say you read the first entry, do you mean the runes of flight snippet, or some of the philosophy stuff? Runes of flight is a completed short story I wrote for school, based on a random reddit comment I made once. Haha. I've been meaning to get back to it for a while, and posted it on there to sort of grease the wheels a bit for writing more. Regardless, I'm glad you like what you read. :)
Aww. You may be the first person to actually read my blog. Lol. What is your question about joining?
The trouble is knowing that it isn't likely doesn't stop it from also being true. I'm also of the opinion that just because full communism isn't likely doesn't mean we shouldn't advocate for it, because any move toward liberty, freedom, equality, and the general principles of anarchism and socialism are good things. You don't come to the table with your compromise, you come to the table with what you know you can't get, and negotiate to something possible.
Do I believe communism is possible within my lifetime? No. Do I believe it possible at all? Absolutely, not only in the sense that if we did it it would work, but that we can and likely will do it, eventually, if we survive long enough. Do I believe it's worth fighting for, even if I'll never see it? Yes. Because the work itself is enough to improve lives, and the more people who throw their lot in with the far left the more likely we are to see real, substantive change for the better, even if it is incremental.
Also, sorry for the 4am wall of text. Haha
Join us. We have knitting circles and cookies. It's great. You get all the existential dread of knowing what the fuck is wrong with the world, with the added full knowledge that the things that could fix it will likely never happen because we missed our chance at a revolution before the people in power had nukes, and now even if you convince everyone that it would be better that way, those in power will straight up nuke their own people before allowing them to govern themselves, destroying whole swathes of the planet, along with unreplaceable history and culture.
Plus, there's a nifty æsthetic, and a range of really good music from folk to metal.

This would make an excellent recurring story on American dad wherein Jeff is secretly a Superman à la quailman from Doug.
