"Walkable city" is not "City where to have to walk everywhere."

"Walkable city" is.

Sidewalks big enough to fit you, your stroller, your wheelchair, your guide dog, or anything else you need when you're getting from one place to another.

Safe crosswalks frequent enough so you don't need to walk in traffic.

Bike lanes to keep bikes out of foot traffic and car traffic.

Accessible and affordable public transit.

Cities where the essentials are close enough you can travel on foot (or in wheelchair)

Cities where it's reasonable to be able to get from point a to point b without requiring you, yourself, to drive

People get so caught up in the "Walkable" part of the term and like to spout "Walkable cities are abelist because not everyone can walk".

Bitch. The modern city structure is abelist because not everyone can drive. And classist because not everyone can afford a car and it's pretty damn impossible to get a job if you don't have a car.

Walkable cities are cities where people can reasonably get from pointA to pointB without requiring a motor vehicle.

"But fae. Disabled people have issues using the paths in modern cities." Bitch abled people can barely use the paths in modern cities. That's kind of the fucking problem.

Also walkable cities have fucking benches. Not only for disabled people. But sometimes you just twist your ankle and need to sit for a moment.

"Put fae. If you have benches, homeless people will sleep on them."

Then get fucking housing for the homeless. Problem solved. They'll sleep in their nice warm homes instead of on the benches.

We all love the "becoming the very thing you sought to destroy," trope. but I have a growing fondness for "destroying the very thing you sought to become"

This morning I asked the postwoman (who is my local Google) if she knew of a valiant farrier who might be willing to trim the hooves of my wildly recalcitrant donkey (I already saw one farrier, who wouldn’t even try), and she said “I’ll give you the name of a good farrier. She’s a very, very strong woman. Very muscular. She can pick up your donkey and make him sit in a corner if he doesn’t behave” isn’t life marvellous sometimes

need to figure something out for mo xuanyu because i have vague fic ideas but nothing concrete and i can't just give him another Xun. i don't know if i even want there to be any shipping but everyone is such a bad option. guy needs to crack the world in half but i don't wanna write another like villain dynamic.... like he'd be the one scaring the other party and not the other way around, and mxy is sadly so like at the very bottom of the social ladder that it's hard to find any character he could have any power over

[wifiwuxians]

also like. he's baby bean i get that. but i want him to snap and stay snapped sometimes. i want him to be a force to be reckoned with who may or may not find himself on the other end of whatever his situation is. give him the xy treatment (the one where xy is bad and insane, not the domestic part) and see what happens.

knowing me it becomes a happy fixit by the end of it KFBFKDJFKS tho i might just write him killing off half the cast :3c
