i have a gigantic fucking problem with anyone trying to tell me what to do or who i am/who i am not. it actually triggers a viciousness in me. my identity is defined by me, my choices are made by me.
The grocery store problem is actually a perfect argument for walkable cities, not against them.
When you rely on driving, the store becomes a logistical burden. You’re forced to shop in bulk, hunt for parking for 20 minutes, buy extra refrigeration, and meticulously plan weeks of meals to minimize the number of times you have to endure that trip.
When you live in a walkable neighborhood, that friction disappears. I used to live walking distance from a market, and we stopped planning meals entirely. It became an experience: we’d wake up, decide what we were in the mood for, and walk over to pick up fresh ingredients for dinner that night.
A 10 minute stroll to get fresh ingredients is just better living.
Mistakes are inevitable but they become drastically detrimental when you’re unable to let go and move forward. Being able to identify the problem, stop, pivot & accept your losses will save you so much wasted time instead of constantly thinking about how things should’ve went.
HAPPY DECORATION DAY TO BLACK AMERICAN DESCENDANTS OF CHATTEL SLAVERY ONLY! never let history forget that memorial’s day was a black American holiday bastardized by white America.
Sometimes I think about how nineteenth century abolitionists tried to get people to boycott cotton produced by slave labor, and people were like, “Noooo…I love my fashionable clothes too much and cotton produced without slave labor is too expensive and too hard to find.”
Yeah.
You’re telling me I should submit to someone just because he’s a man. No leadership skills, emotional intelligence or sufficient funds. Just because I’m a woman and he’s a man? 😹😹😹😹
I think we need a real discussion about white people adopting/caring for non white children and torturing them especially if the child is Black. We just had a white teacher exposed for abusing a Black non verbal autistic child and now this. I’m heartbroken
