My vampires CAN walk into the sunlight but doing so would reveal what they would look like if they aged normally
Younger vampires don’t have much to worry about but older vamps have reason to avoid sunlight as they age. They are still immortal, but their aged, sunlit selves are significantly weaker than their non-sunlit forms. Vamps over 100 years old run the risk of crumpling over, fully immobile, but still conscious
the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that
i had to phone a taxi today, scary
every time i see this post i think of that person who posted on reddit that they wanted to go to subway for the first time but they were scared they would say the wrong thing so someone gave them step by step instructions for the entire process and what all the choices would be and when they would ask what question and i just think
someone will
someone out there will see you and say "yes. the world is scary. but let me hold your hand and show you how to do it anyways"
everyone needs that someone, and everyone can be that someone
The subreddit r/explainlikeimscared is a surprisingly good resource for this. People are always very kind and thorough from what I've seen, and I spend a decent amount of time there giving walkthroughs and answering questions when I know the process.
SHARING TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE OUT!
hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot
Correct. Furthermore: children bending or breaking the rules to get a peek at something that's not intended for them is a part of growing up.
ok I endured it. now what!!!!!!!!!
Car-Centrism Gothic
You think about running away. You open the Amtrak and Greyhound websites. The journey will cost $300.
The trains go by day in and day out. You sometimes glimpse the train cars as they pass. They carry mail. They carry chemicals. You have never seen one that carries people.
The buses run, but not on a schedule. The bus tracking app flicks between helpful lies. Three buses left thirty seconds ago. The bus still hasn't come.
Your coworker offers you a ride home for the fourth time this week. You decline yet again. When the bus comes, you put on your headphones and zone out until you are home. You are indebted to nobody.
It is dark outside, and you are walking to the grocery store. Well-meaning voices implore you to consider the dangers. Is the human body even capable of walking a mile to the store and back? You continue walking. Nobody has bothered you yet.
I'll never understand how so many people are so tolerant of motor vehicle deaths.
People say shit like "oh he was killed in a car crash" or "she died in an accident" or "it was a head-on collision" as if the person/people in the car magically just became angels the second the car crashed. As if wrecking a car turns a person into an intangible spirit during the accident. Like "oh no! i'm going to hit that tree!! *bump* wow looks like i'm a ghost now. in heaven"
NO MOTHERFUCKERS YOU GET FUCKING TORN APART!!!
Limbs missing. Brain smeared on the road. Decapitations (my grandfather was decapitated in a car accident). Snapped neck. BURNED ALIVE.
You don't realise how long the human digestive tract is until you see it all unraveled over the road.
These are people we're talking about. Real people with thoughts and emotions, hopes and dreams. People who may be your friends and family. This could be you.
This happens to 1200 people per year here in Australia.
We should not be tolerating this. Not at all. But somehow it's treated like it's a fact of life. As if dying in a car accident is a natural death.
And yet there are some who will actively defend the use of cars and demonise other modes of transport such as eRideables, bikes, and of course, the age-old arch-enemy of capitalist individualism, public transport.
i have a deep seated belief that driving a car as an exclusive form of transportation is actively detrimental to a person's ability to act compassionately towards others. not only does being able to travel long distances alone through little effort disconnect you from your immediate surroundings, but driving regularly also causes you to subconsciously begin to see the car as an extension of your body which i believe lessens your empathy towards the other people on the road who are invisible inside their own cars as well as the actual human bodies of pedestrians around you. when you expect others to show the same respect towards your car as you should towards someones soft squishy physical body you have officially lost the plot.
i would blame this attitude on my own bitterness as someone who can't drive if it weren't for the fact that anytime a post goes around on here about pedestrian rights a bunch of people immediately come out of the woodwork to defend vehicular manslaughter
call me regulation-loving Eurotrash but this shit should be fucking illegal
you are driving a thousand kilogram death machine. you need your eyes on the fucking road at all times because lives are at stake. literally, overcomplicated radio displays are known to distract drivers and reduce awareness, and then there’s this bullshit?
you need the absolute minimum information possible. speed, fuel, rpm, engine warnings. not fucking, calendar, weather and world clock.
sttg the longer i look at this image the worse it gets. that’s the NEWS app on the touchscreen there? you want people to look down and read the paper while driving? and literally not one of the widgets on the top screen needs to be there, read your calendar and the weather and the air quality index before you leave the house godsabove. even that map is overcomplicated, no you do not need 3D renders of every building in front of you that you can SEE with your EYES. fuck it you don’t even need a mega-complicated media display, prepare your bloody playlists and podcasts before you hit the road and you can switch between them like an iPod shuffle. and get rid of Chainsmokers - Riptide ffs.
American urban planning!
Nothing exposes the inability of people to navigate power imbalances quite like the relationship between drivers and pedestrians.
For example, I just had a driver get screaming-at-me mad because I stopped walking at a slip lane to make sure he was going to stop. And like, buddy, I know I have the right of way, but if I assume you are going to stop and I guess wrong, I will literally die. Whereas if I wait to see if you're actually going to slow down, I am just delaying both of us by a couple of seconds. And that might have more to do with why I made the choice that I did than my being a stupid bitch who needs to learn the rules. Like, if you can't understand why the fact that you could effortlessly accidentally kill me (and likely face no consequences) means I am reticent to assume the best from you, maybe you just shouldn't have any power over anyone ever.
Oh so I failed my drivers test because “I didn’t look like I knew where I was going” but he can hit an elderly woman so badly she almost dies while drunk driving and still get to keep his licence?
yeah thats fair
long rant!!
apologies if this is kinda messy or doesn’t make complete sense
So there was an incident this week that I got to see. I was walking to a store in my neighborhood and I saw the immediate aftermath of a car accident. A person had been hit and I could see the firefighters doing chest compressions and performing other life saving measures. I turned around because I didn’t want to see something I would regret and watched the rest of the accident play out from a distance in my friends yard with her since her home is next to the store basically. The incident continued to get worse and worse and as we watched more ambulances and cop cars showed up and it ended with a helicopter flying in and the person being flown away. I found out the next day that it was an elderly woman who was hit and that she’s in critical condition and might not make it.
It’s sad because this is such a common thing not only in my town in general (I don’t know what it is but the people in this town cannot stop fucking hitting people with their cars- my mom is a teacher and multiple children and adults have been hit on school grounds so they even had to get a crossing guard, something that we don’t typically have in Canada) but this specific intersection has had multiple people hit and car accidents and idek what we can even do now. Last year a child was hit while crossing and life flighted and the whole area was instituted as a permanent 30 zone (which it should’ve been anyways as there is an elementary school in that stretch of road and kids could run off and into the road as well as two churches that only have elderly attendees and a building for daycare and other children’s groups in that area too). However the people in this town are assholes who only obeyed the speed limit on that stretch of road when there was a stationed cop car there all day. And I know the cops won’t want to waste resources on having a whole car there just to sit there all day and make sure these absolute idiots don’t kill people. I just don’t even know what the next step can even be at this point but hopefully something else gets done because this intersection and the drivers here are genuinely dangerous.
But to add on. Two days after the incident I walked to the market and ended up at that intersection since it’s the only way to get to this market. Once it was my turn to go I walked and a car was trying to turn right on the red light, which ok, that’s legal. The thing is they started when I was getting closer to them, not farther. It’s ok to turn right on red if there’s no pedestrians or if the person is walking away from you/isn’t in your way, this was not the case as I was walking towards the car to get to the other side of the road. They just kept going, not speeding but also not going slowly either. They only finally hit the brakes when I looked at them like “wtf are you doing?”.Cause seriously what the actual fuck are you doing? I’m walking towards you, it’s my right of way, it’s not your turn. What do you want me to do? Just stand there in the middle of the cross walk. and the millisecond I got off the crosswalk they’re zooming off and revving there engine. So nobody actually learned anything from literally two days ago I see. Grand.
and to add on to that: I found out as well that the person that hit the old lady was drunk driving- but not really. They were reportedly intoxicated but were like 0.1 or two units away from being legally considered to be drunk driving. So because of that the punishment legally speaking won’t be nearly as harsh as it should be because they weren’t drunk driving technically speaking unfortunately. It’s sad for the woman and her family as justice probably won’t be served as much as it should be because of that. As well their licence probably won’t even be taken away for a significant period of time either (the Canadian justice system is literal crap already do since he didn’t kill her and wasn’t technically drunk driving I guarantee you that he’ll be back and driving soon).
it just sucks too because this is the second time that somebody has been hit on that cross walk and the perpetrator will evade any sort of punishment. When that little girl was hit, she was hit by a young adult man in a sports car. I don’t know if any punishment has been served yet as legal things can take a long time but what I last heard was that their argument was to be that the man driving is special needs and therefore it’s not his fault. Sorry, but if you’re considered to be capable enough to obtain a driver's license and operate a vehicle independently, then you can be held to the same legal standards as anyone else. If you’re disability is severe enough that you can’t understand or fulfill those responsibilities, then you shouldn’t have been driving in the first place and your parents and the people at the dmv should be charged.
as well to be a bit selfish it’s angering as somone that’s failed their drivers test two times now. The second time was frankly ridiculous, all of the mistakes I made were tiny ones that literally didn’t matter. Like I failed my test because I drove a tiny bit too slow because it was literally pouring rain for 5 hours before the test making the roads super slick but this guy gets to almost kill somone in his car and keep his licence. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I’m just so tired of people in this town hitting each other with their cars and stupid fucking giant trucks they don’t even need (but that’s a whole other post for later)

im trying to grow as a person and not obsess over my ugliness but bitch! it is hard
It doesn’t fucking matter if women are weaker than men in terms of brute strength bc someone’s humanity and human rights are not based on how much they can bench press
