This is a fairly recent picture of Central Park.

When I was a child, I read a book called Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume. In the book, the main character talks about how they live near Central Park and how because of pollution, the leaves on the trees just turn brown and drop off instead of turning colors like he saw once on a family trip.

The book came out in 1972.

So, yes.... Problems that were such background noise in our lives that it was a throwaway line in a children's book can and have been solved.

(Yes, I know. Blume almost certainly wanted to draw attention to it to help people see the value in environmental regulations)

i wish there was more social existence you could participate in laying down. I wish there were cafes that were two little futon beds parallel to each other with a low table in between so you could eat and drink while lounging. I wish there were group activities like painting or glazing clay or theaters that were designed to have beds and bed-height tables instead of chairs. I wish there were beds alongside benches outside for anyone to use. I wish air mattresses or roll-out beds were as common as cheap shitty chairs at things like barbeques, beaches, and concerts. so much life would open up to me and be enjoyable if I could lay down instead of sitting or standing for prolonged periods and completely wearing myself down with pain.

Capitalism sucks. Unless it's Louis de Point du Lac doing it, then it's funny.

Call me dumb or whatever but I think the message of “if you keep hating yourself and pushing others away despite their attempts to reach out you WILL destroy yourself and you WILL hurt everyone around you” is pretty important.

Goodbye, goodbye.

Jax gets better but threatens to go back into the abstraction tank at any minor inconvenience.

Pomni just watches her apathetically while she starts climbing in.

Yells at her to do a backflip.

Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.

i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent

Rural Wyoming Gothic, But it’s Real Things From Where I Live

TW: Animal and human death and cruelty

(All from SW Wyoming, seen or heard of in the last 5 years.)

Driving past a town at the time of day when fully half of it is shaded by a single billboard.

Pulling over and finding a deer fetus only a few feet from your front tire. (Link to picture because it's a little too weird, even for this post)

Seeing a building and Googling what it’s for. An article says it’s going to be a restaurant or ammo store, and everyone’s excited that it will bring business and fame to the town for decades to come. The article was something like 17 years ago. The business closed 16.5 years ago.

Being told “there are a million places to hide a body that no one would ever find” and knowing it’s true.

Finding 51 piles of wool with bones inside.

Looking for your trail cam and not remembering if you put it in the giant, open field with no landmarks, the giant, open field with no landmarks, or the giant, open field with no landmarks.

Lots of folks being surprised that there was a backlash when a guy ran over a wolf with a snowmobile, keeping it alive while injured to taunt it, when people do that to coyotes all the time and no one cares.

A cow's ear stuck in a fence. Just the ear.

Seeing last names on houses and recognizing them from people you’ve met in town. Seeing the same names a lot. Realizing there aren’t that many last names in town. Wondering if there’s a problem with incest here.

Hiring 11 different cleaners, as 9 never showed up.

Lowering your standards for employees to “can show up less than 3 hours late while not on Kratom.”

A sign saying a town has a population of “2 ± 4” and trying to imagine the population when it gets down to -2.

A guy comes back to his old hunting cabin to find the furniture rearranged.

Peeling taxidermy in hoarded out abandoned stores.

A pile of hundreds of dead farm animals. The internet really wants to know where it is so they can visit. The locals don’t even consider it interesting.

TW: Related stories of alleged animal and human murder, suicide

25 dead horses in a field that belonged a trapper. Most horse skulls are shot wrong. The son of the guy who did it said the father had killed a lot of the horses "outta anger."

The cops never find the trapper's girlfriend's body, but they find his. I take the horses home.
