We don’t need to get there.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

I need to discipline myself to not be responsible for other people’s happiness. Self preservation is not being selfish. I can’t help other people if I can’t help myself.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

I should be thankful that I woke up this morning. I should be thankful that today is a wonderful day. I should be thankful that my health is relatively good. I’m just not feeling thankful for anything right now. Maybe I need to work on that.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

I’m tired of being responsible for other people’s happiness.

Letting the United States rot away may not be the most popular option, but it is indeed an option. Overtime, civilizations do come and go. I can choose to have a good life and let the chips fall where they may and maybe I should do that.

If I ever wanted a romantic relationship, this world is filled top to bottom with needy, self-centered, high maintenance people and I can take my pick of any of these needy, self-centered, high maintenance people. I can also choose to just remain happily single.

@the_transit_guy That truly is disturbing and disgusting. We were promised an apartment building with ground floor shops.

@Ex_InvisibleMan It’s about time those light poles stand up for themselves. Or in this case they would be falling 😁

@geologisms My sister had to repeat a couple of years.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

You will have to rely on mountains and rivers and other geographical features to tell them apart because really everything will be exactly the same and it will all be irritating as fuck.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

If urban planners and politicians and billionaires reimagine our cities and make big changes and go in a new direction the way they want to then our cities will REALLY look and feel exactly like each other and they will all have the same vibe.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

All our American cities make similar mistakes and they do similar things right and they are just getting more and more like each other. Pretty soon it will all be the same no matter where you go. In some ways it’s like that already.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

Urban planners and environmentalists increasingly advocate for "high-density, low-rise" models, like in Paris. Buildings over 10 stories actually experience diminishing returns in energy efficiency and carry heavy carbon footprints. High rises also kill a lot of birds.

Sometimes I just want to live a good life and get what I’m due.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

When I was growing up, you went to work, you made enough to buy a house, support a family and live a good life. You paid your taxes but you expected to get what you were due. Now the politicians and the billionaires are “reimagining” everything from the ground up.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

They are even reimagining life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They reimagine everything as if living a good life is strictly theoretical. Sometimes I don’t want a reimagined world that changes every five minutes.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

The politicians and planners alike want to completely reimagine all our infrastructure. Does that mean reimagining what it even means to take out the garbage and keep the lights running? Maybe potholes and power outages are just theoretical anyway.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

All across America politicians and urban planners are going to reimagine what a neighborhood even is. What the hell does that mean? Are they going to reinvent our sense of connectedness and belonging? Are they going to redefine happy?

I go to my very first gay pride parade and of course it has to rain.

[Jesse Craig (Jumpy) @misterjumpyfox]

I’m 47 years old and today I went to my very first gay pride parade. It was in downtown Cleveland. I went with my friend Toby. I don’t know why I waited that long. I guess I just didn’t get around to it before.
