How do you feel about the beach? I live there full time and we have our own Socs and Greasers here. Would you ever go to one if you haven't already?

PS. Sunset over the ocean

that looks real pretty. ain't ever been to the ocean but think it'd be cool to see someday. ya own socs and greasers don't sound great though

You’re completely correct. Out of my way, able-bodied losers. Fuck you.

[aetherograph]

It's called an EZRide+ and you can learn where to find them here. They're about $1100 US as of June 2026, but you might need to buy additional parts to attach them to your chair, depending on the style of chair.

Remember to put links to products like this, they're usually hard to find and a lot of people need to know they exist.

how’s it goin’ man? -@the-johnny-cakes

johnny! hey! it’s going fine. ( a soft grin is spreading; strong nose crinkle forms. ) still fixin’ machines n' stealing bites of cake in between. how’re you holdin’ up?

[the-johnny-cakes]

good to hear. ’m good - haven’t been up to much since school’s been out for the summer

[bluegreaser]

are you surviving the weather of hell?

[the-johnny-cakes]

yeah, ain't been so bad yet - or at least not as hot as i remember last summer bein'. guess 's still early

[bluegreaser]

summer *did just come in officially a few days ago, so it’s real early to say. is there anythin’ new?

[the-johnny-cakes]

true. not really - been thinkin’ of tryin’ to get some kinda summer job but dunno what i could really do

[bluegreaser]

is there anythin’ you’d like to do? can work backwards from that. maybe come across some accommodations.

[the-johnny-cakes]

i mean workin' on cars like you and soda seems cool but i definitely can't do that. everythin' i think of gets thrown out for one reason or another

[bluegreaser]

list em’. n’ i’ll find out if there’s a way for you to do them. ya’ might be surprised.

[the-johnny-cakes]

maybe. ain’t like i haven’t thought ‘bout this myself, though. just kinda went through the list of, like, regular summer jobs i know people’ve had. workin’ on cars or outside like cuttin’ grass or whatever, at a restaurant or grocery store or movie theater or library…

Hey, can I ask you a stupid question? ~ @theyoungestofthethree

yeah, of course. was goin' to say it ain't stupid but let's hear the question first

[theyoungestofthethree]

Your folks, were things ever good with them? I don’t mean like they used to be good or nothin’, just did they ever have any decent moments?

[the-johnny-cakes]

dunno if anyone's a shitty person all the time, pone. so yeah, they had their moments. more my mom than my dad but...yeah, sometimes. why're ya askin'?

[theyoungestofthethree]

Just got to thinkin’ about parents with Father’s Day and all. And about how ya used to be so loyal to people who were awful to ya. I’m still real proud you got away from ’em, but I never really got why you stayed for so long

[the-johnny-cakes]

makes sense. ’s kinda hard to explain…guess i thought i was doin’ the right thing, being loyal and stickin’ around. maybe was too hopeful that it’d get better based on…almost nothin’

[theyoungestofthethree]

I think I can see why. You loved them, and loyalty in general’s, I dunno, baked into ya or somethin’. In just about any other situation, you’d’ve been right

[the-johnny-cakes]

thanks, i think? now ’s real obvious i shoulda, dunno, run away or done somethin’ sooner but it just felt so normal to live like that
