#an expose in a local news paper came out in October talking with drivers who said some of the buses were as old as 30 years

Honestly I think on of the best things people could do for society is to spend less time online and more time engaging in their local community, trying to build bonds with others, and working to create actual grassroot left organisation with those around them.

(Especially when I think about the way the Mediums we use to communicate online often limit our ability to have nuanced discussions, i.e. twitter's character limit but that's a whole nother post)

But then I remember the way our cities are designed that market forces prevail over social needs with it becoming harder and harder to find a third place*, and I see the limited accessibility to those places with heavy car dependency and infrequent public transit, if it exists at all.

And then I just get back on Tumblr

*Don't come at me about libraries, yes they're one of the few wonderful places that let you just exist in public. Go to your local library and give her some love, she's shouldering a lot right now.
