Ditching cars for efficient public transport can save Mexicans money and emissions. The study says current car dependence burdens the poorest and pollutes cities. Investing in modernized public transit and reducing fuel subsidies could be key to a sustainable future for Mexico.

Transcript
Jonas: So what are your hobbies, dude?
Jude: Oh, like, I don't know. Hanging out and stuff.
Jonas: Do you play sports?
Jude: I used to do rugby. Now I run, I guess.
Jonas: If you want, you can come with me to the gym. I go, twice a week, bouldering.
Jude: Yeah, sounds okay.
Jonas: I have been going since last year. Before that, I didn't think I was so much a sporty kind of guy, but as I began to improve, I thought that someday.... [he yammers on for several minutes]
...So! If it is something you would like to do, I think it would be quite fun.
It is against the rules to do that.
Jude: That's okay.
Jonas: Are things okay?
Jude: Yeah.
#lucky boy 2011#to that one reader I have who read my old work#that is Jolene Jones <3#fun fact#my first car looked almost exactly like Jonas' haha#a 1997 toyota starlet in green with lil racing stripes on the side#she broke down in a ditch in 2021 :(#and was crushed into a cube#I'm glad she was resurrected in the sims

btw thinking back and realizing that, since glenn lost nick in the timeline custody battle and he didnt care about going back to earth from the realms because he "didnt really have anything back there anymore", he couldve just chosen to walk away and not fight with the daddies in the s1 finale but he didnt that was never even an option for a second and he never even considered it. By The Way
#coming from the same guy who stole darryls car in the early season#who was so ready to ditch the dads when his son suggested it that he was in in 2 seconds#So Like. I Dee Kay Man#again this is a glenn close appreciation zone i appreaciate the fuck outta that man btw#dndads#dungeons and daddies#dungeons and daddies odyssey#dungeons and daddies s1#dndads s1#glenn close#nick close#nicky close foster#dndads s2#freddie wong#anthony burch

a headcanon that is very important to me personally is that mulder and scully’s strides start to change as they settle into their partnership. like even when they’re not around each other. scully’s get longer and mulder’s get shorter so that they can walk side by side easier. maybe in the beginning, mulder is rushing around and scully is always trying to keep up, but he learns to slow down so he can talk and listen while they walk. eventually, they unconsciously adjust and meet in the middle. it’s just one of the things that irons itself out as they grow and change around each other, and their relationship as partners and friends starts to take shape :)
#cant gather evidence rn but i feel like he’s kicking more quickly from point to point in earlier seasons#like yeah he pulls the mukder ditch throughout the show#but i’m thinking of him getting out of the car in the pilot to mark the street and just leaving her in the passenger seat#versus they approaching the barricade of morris & co at the same pace in dreamland#the x files#like yeah they’re at gunpoint there but the energy is there#.txt#posts with notes

the tiny look of wonderment and hope when alison says "that's the other bride" and then the wariness and confusion, it's too good to be true, that can't be right. can it? and then she says "they're marrying each other" and you can almost see the breath of relief as his face lights up. you can literally sense the decades of fear and shame sliding off of him for a moment. he's safe and happy and it's such a beautiful achievement. progress. in the room where he died, heart giving out after keeping his deviant affection inside for so long. and now here they are, two beautiful young women, marrying each other, happy and together and alive. perfect day is the only episode of television that matters actually.

(I screwed up the text placement on the last page, read from professor membrane top left, down to zim bottom left, then dib top right)
Poor Dib lol
Btw i headcanon that zim has an internship at membrane labs when they're in high school. Zim talks to Membrane about Dib and them hanging out (he thinks the boys are dating and just not telling him yet) and the professor is hoping zim's "real science" attitude rubs off on Dib lmao
#invader zim#iz zim#iz dib#zadr#professor membrane#my art#zadp#zadf#I like zim's holograph watch lmao I needed him to be checking the time but I felt like if he wore a normal watch it'd seem like a joke#which yeah it'd be funny#but the holo space watch is cool!#....wait hologram or holograph#as far as prof knows the boys were going to a double feature drive in movie#but they ditched that to go monster hunting in the woods + haunted house they ended up finding#so as far as prof knows they went to a movie and have been somewhere in dib's car this whole time 😳#dib is DYING INSIDE that his father accused him (and zim accidentally confirmed) that they did THAT#English isn't zim's first language is Dib's go to excuse bc while zim is FLUENT he doesn't understand some turns of phrase and such

For me, as much as I adore the theme of travel companions, henghill is more of a "someday" thing in that regard. I love Boothill being a weird loner Galaxy Ranger rather than a Nameless- man is undomesticated and belongs sleeping in the cargo holds of supply ships, threatening silence out of anyone that tries to report him. Let him be wild and free!!
I would LOVE it if Boothill just hitched a short ride off Asdana to whatever the Express' next destination is, though!
Like maybe the Express decides to stick around Penacony for a while, the same way they do other destinations, and Boothill is there anyway to investigate Oswaldo Schneider. It's rare to find a planet where the IPC is present, but doesn't actually have a lot of power; he can't pass this opportunity up!
And in that time, he sees a lot of Dan Heng.
Boothill gets text messages asking him to the quieter parts of the Dreamscape (he threatened and made a scene - it's called standing up for your rights, Dan Heng was given a room with a Dreampool by The Family for helping root out The Order) or mostly to the Express, where Dan Heng curiously asks him about Paths, about aeons and Emanators, The Rangers, all the worlds he's seen and places he's been.
Boothill isn't really surprised the first time they spend an entire night talking and discussing- after all, they'd chattered a lot that first day they met at the bar in the Reverie! But in talking so much, of course the topic of home comes up.
Dan Heng asks about Boothill’s homeworld.
Boothill tells Dan Heng it's gone now, and changes the subject.
Boothill asks about Dan Heng's past, before the Astral Express and the Nameless.
Dan Heng freezes up and closes off, and changes the subject.
In yet another moment of tacit understanding, neither of them ask again.
But this continues, all throughout their stint in Penacony, finding each other and seeking the other out for no reason other than good company. Dan Heng adds ridiculous amounts of data to the archives that Boothill dictates to him. They both know he could get that information elsewhere if he really wanted. Boothill finds he's kinda happy he doesn't.
And Boothill is someone who's hard to keep up with. He knows he is, and he has no problem with it. It's part of what makes him excel as a Galaxy Ranger. But there's something fun about how Dan Heng just rolls with it, and so effortlessly! Boothill finds something shady going on, grabs a guy who was preying on people, and has this dude held up by the collar with his feet swinging while he cackles right in his face, when Dan Heng shows up.
Boothill says they're just having a friendly chat. He makes zero effort to hide what he's actually doing. Boothill's new friend pleads for Dan Heng to help him, please! This guy's crazy!
Dan Heng materializes his spear.
The guy apologizes even harder, tells them he won't do anything shady ever again, promise, promise! Boothill's jabbers at him and shakes him around some more before Dan Heng taps the pole of his spear against the covered metal of Boothill's leg and tells him come on, he's already scared the man witless, they have a date to keep. Boothill drops the guy and watches him scurry off like a cockroach.
"So, now it's a date, huh?"
"...Come on, let's go."
They go to the Dreamflux Reef after that, because Boothill just so happened to totally by coincidence find that shady guy's wallet (read: robbed him blind) and he wants that money to go back to the native Penaconians before anyone else. Dan Heng follows, and stuffs all of the man's credits into the tip jar of the bar they go to.
And even when the Express embarks anew from Asdana (with Boothill hidden away in some corner or compartment, because the IPC finally got pissed enough to start looking for him under The Family's noses skzikske) this continues. The next planet is difficult to get to because of Stellaron activity; so they have to fly manually part of the way instead of warping. Boothill doesn't get his own room since he's only hitching a ride, but Pom-Pom graciously allows him to sleep on a couch-
("Thank ya, Fluffy. No hard feelings about before, right?" "You're lucky my other passengers like you. And no shoes on the couches!!")
-in one of the cars. And it becomes normal commonplace to find Boothill telling stories, and Dan Heng rapidly writing them all down, at obscene hours in the parlor car while Himeko and Welt ask if either of them even slept.
Boothill teaches Dan Heng all about his favorite drinks and liquor in general, how to aim and shoot a gun, how to hunt and track prey. Dan Heng teaches Boothill about a lot of the teachings of Lan and The Hunt from the Xianzhou, what it's like there, some of the culture, some of the fables and old tales.
Boothill still leaves when it's time to go. He's still got things to do and people to kill, after all.
But it never feels like he's very far. The archives are full of him, even if he's never mentioned by name. The article on the Galaxy Rangers is several times longer than it was before. There's new data on multiple planets and worlds.
There's one that's still just a header and title. Boothill doesn't know about it yet. Dan Heng hopes he can fill the page on Aeragan-Epharshel someday and show it to him.
And even if he doesn't stay, he does return. Boothill breaks in stops by any time he happens to be nearby. He's used to traveling without much rest, and only takes what he can easily carry on him- nothing that can slow him down or hinder him. He can't put a bullet between Oswaldo Schneider's eyes if he gets himself killed over something as stupid as being weighed down in a fight, after all.
Dan Heng is similarly sparse. He still sleeps in the archives, with nothing but his futon and old suitcase to mark the space as his.
But there's an old wooden guitar carefully propped in the corner, just waiting for its owner's return.

Knit this square yesterday, the yellow is that little skein of handspun hampshire that I dyed in the second round of exhaust. I got pretty far on an acrylic garter stitch scrap blanket à few years ago, before realizing I hate acrylic and have less than no use for a blanket made of the stuff. But man, the squares looked really nice. This blanket is stockinette because I intended to practice flat colorwork, but I wish I'd just done garter stitch. I love how it looks a lot more. Anyway... the gray is some Jacob scrap. I like both sides, not sure which will be face up when I sew it on. I need to block a ton of them atm, just don't really enjoy it. (That is another benefit of garter stitch squares).
Also the bread. Just finished its first rise. It's a blend of bread flour, whole wheat, and rye. The rye was accidental, I was looking for either spelt or more whole wheat but it wasnt labeled and light in the basement was off, so I grabbed rye accidentally, and... eh. Also has toasted Pecans. Idk, all my bread is 'what if I tossed a bunch of random stuff in a bowl while having very thick brain fog ?' But it usually tastes pretty good.
Also, 3 rolags down. I'm taking a long time with them trying to get all the vm out, but I think it's actually working really well. We'll see.

I need a scene in Apology Tour where Verosika and Stolas are talking about Blitzø and she's like "Oh so you two broke up- I guess he was the one who left. He always did that, every time I tried to have a serious conversation or I was threatening to dump him he would simply leave the room like... you know, you'd wish he'd react?? Say something?? I always tried to make him start a fight, shout, maybe hit something so at least I would've known he cared??? Wanted to save the relationship??? But noooooo he would just leave undisturbed. Guess he dumped you in silence too, huh?" and Stolas there like
#the screaming was A GOOD THING???#live owl reaction#he must have been very fucking hurt and mad and confuse#poor nestling is confused#not that it would've been a good reaction#of course#but you know... for blitzø's standards...#i mean he may have some regrets and bitterness about it but he leaves if something doesnt go right#they told him fizz didnt want to see him and he stopped trying even if it hurt#things started getting bad with verosika so he ditched her while she was sleeping and stole her car#changed city name and everything#he sure as hell did not go back “home” to what remained of the circus#he can detach himself pretty well from emotional situations not because he doesnt care but because he thinks NO ONE TRULY CARES about HIM#he is always the expendable one people are probably better off without him#helluva boss#blitzø#helluva boss blitz#vivienne medrano#vivziepop#stolas#stolitzø
