being too warm during the day: well, this sucks, but this temperature makes sense because the sun is up, and the sun is making me warm. i am unhappy but logically i can deal with it for now.

being too warm at night: what if i kill everybody.

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.

I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.

do other countries do the whole “leaving furniture you want gone on the curb for other people to just grab” or is that an american thing

The Dutch do it and it's called The King's Gift, but when Brits do it, taking the stuff is actually a crime called, wait for it, Theft By Finding.

Listen I get it but you CANNOT use "sensory nightmare" as an excuse to avoid essential things. You HAVE to find a way to make it work, such as finding effective alternatives. But you can't just avoid it.

You need to eat some vegetables in your diet or you will become a lich.

You have to wear a life jacket or you will literally drown and die.

You need to be able to exist in public spaces with children.

You have to find a way.

actually I think you should be normal about ordinary citizens of authoritarian countries and yes that applies even to that country you're thinking of right now

having accessible toilets isn't meeting an accessibility goal if those bathrooms aren't maintained. some people treat those spaces with such disrespect that they are filthy and unusable

#a lot of the disabked toilets around here are locked #especially the ones that are in an establishment #(restaurant park musuem whatever)#which sucks because sometimes i need the handrail in there so that i dont face plant onto the floor when i try to get up #but theyre all locked!#and i dont mind asking for someone to unlock them #i get some 'do you really need this?' looks but i can ingore it #but!#some people cant ignore it!#some people would rather hold it until they get home rather than face that interaction!#and repeatedly holding it in for long periods of time can do serious damage #and even if no one was scared to ask and everyone was happy to open the toilets for us #we shouldnt have to ask in the first place!#most people can walk into a toilet do their business and leave without interacting with a single person #so why should the people who need the things that an accessible toilet provides have to do any different?#its not my fault that my body dosent work properly!#and they say that theyre locked to stop people doing drugs in there #which is fair enough i guess #but people can do drugs in any toilet #if youre gonna lock the accessible toilet to stop people doing drugs youre gonna have to lock the regular ones too #and people are like 'oh arent you happy that they lock them so people cant go in and trash them?'#no!#id be happy if they didnt need to be locked because people *dont* go in and trash them!

I think flinching is such a hit or miss reflex. Like yea a tiny bit of boiling water touched my hand but i dont think reflexivly throwing the water everywhere is a good defensive measure perhaps. might be even worse actually

if I see one more "why age verification is bad" post that doesn't even bother to mention that locking young people out of huge sections of the public sphere - literally the stated goal and primary impact of this shit - is wrong in and of itself I will simply start hitting people with bricks
