I'm literally so normal. People often come up to me on the street and say "wow, you're so normal it's incredible, how can I become as normal as you?" And I say "I'm sorry I cannot help you, it simply comes naturally to me, I don't even have to try" and they walk away disappointed. And my normal heart aches for them
Inflation. Housing crisis. Banned books. Revisionist history (like with slavery). Abortion bans. The rise of white nationalist groups. $813.3 billion for national defense. $773 billion for department of defense. No money for schools. No money for covid relief. No money for anything. $6 gas when the minimum wage is $7.25. A large portion of ex-current military and police officers being part of far right movements. Neo nazis at local farmers markets
I could go on. Are you getting the picture I’m painting??
I’m at the point now where I’m less worried about like moving somewhere in the United States and more worried about how I’m going to get out of this country

CFOs are as worried about inflation as everyone else, and expect the economy to enter a recession during the first half of 2023, according t
Oh I have even worse news
The ProblemThe Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects Americans from random and arbitrary stops and searches.
America is nosediving into open fascism fast as fuck if only people were warned a million times but ignored it bc it didn’t impact them directly until now when it’s basically too late
We’re like quite honestly in danger………..
Also if you’re American. Maybe don’t ignore this. I know shit looks bleak but it’s important that we are all informed. I’m not joking.
Eggs actly!!!!!

ALSO CHECK YOUR LIBRARIES. CHECK FACEBOOK. GET INTO COMMUNITY WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. DO NOT WAIT DO IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN
Check the bulletins at coffee shops. Bars. Restaurants. Shops. Get in contact with local social services. Find social workers. Look at churches.
I KNOW y’all are so tired of me really hardcore pushing community efforts because some of y’all have issues with churches and local places and I totally understand that. But having some community and knowing where to look is better than having absolutely NONE.
Please please please get involved in community efforts
if you dislike your art that much why do you keep making it?
hope this helps
Sometimes when you think you’re unloveable and annoying and worthless and stupid, you’re actually just malnourished and sleep deprived

Surrender to cars?
Jesus Christ, when was the last time a swede did anything useful?
What the fuck those streets were before cars, fucking playgrounds and parks with waterslides?
Or did people commute on them, on the level of whatever technology they were on, the vere purpose they were built for since the first city?
I'm trying my best not to automatically dislike artists, I really do, but sometimes I just wish I could send them milking cows or shoveling gravel.
@santaclausdeadindian "What the fuck were those streets before cars, fucking playgrounds?"
Yes, actually.
[description: a black-and-white photo from the 1900s of a group of girls in pinafores standing in the middle of the street; according to the website I found it on, this is a 'street dance'. The girls are talking to each other in small groups. end description.]
Children used to play in the street all the time. And for most of recorded history, that was relatively safe. Running into someone on foot is not going to kill a child, and horses - let alone carriages- were relatively rare.
Streets used to be public spaces. People would hang out and talk in the middle of the road, or set up shop with a little cart at the side of the road. "Right of way" used to mean "your right to take up space on the street, because you are a free citizen and free citizens get to use the road."
[description: a black-and-white historical photo of two children in the middle of a mostly empty street. One child is sitting in a wagon, and the other child is standing, ready to pull it. End description.]
It wasn't until the 19th century that it became common enough for your average joe to own horses that it was unsafe for kids to play in the street (and they still did anyway!). And it wasn't until the early 20th century that people got cleared off of the street in favour of cars- before then, people and horses and carriages had to share the road, and carriages had to go at the same pace as whatever was around them.
We laugh at the insanely low speed limits of the 1910s and 1920s - really, cars can only go at 3 mph?- but they were there for a reason, and that reason was "to keep the roads safe for horses and pedestrians". If cars could go at top speeds on city roads, they'd only be safe for cars, and people couldn't use their public spaces anymore. But thanks to lobbying by the auto industry and a whoooole lot of PR spin, that's exactly what happened.
I'm going to leave you with two pictures. The first is Mulberry Street in NYC, according to wikipedia, in 1900. The second is Mulberry Street today.
[Description: two photos of city streets. The first photo is sepia-toned, from the 1900s. It shows a city street full of people and carriages. The foreground of the photo is taken up by a group of vegetable sellers, and a group of men and young children standing beside them looking at the camera. The second photo is a modern photo of the same street. It is a heavily decorated tourist district, but most of the street is taken up by cars. The sidewalks are crowded with pedestrians, but they're shoved off to the side. End description.]
Little Italy is a tourist district. It is meant to be walkable so that tourists can browse and look at all the little restaurants and window-shop. And yet 75% of this picture is taken up by a fucking car canal, and people- the people this street was built for - are shoved off to the side, so as not to get in the way.
People got forced off the road in favour of cars. People got forced out of public space in favour of cars.
And if that doesn't piss you off...

Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it
warning, Loud volume!
