al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1338

first posted in facebook august 21, 2024

adrienne elise tarver -- "weary as i can be" (2021)

"i'm weary of the ways of the world be weary of the ways of the world i'm weary of the ways of the world" … solange

"oh, she may be weary and young girls, they do get wearied wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah but when she gets weary try a little tenderness, yeah yeah" … jimmy campbell, reg connelly, and harry m. woods

"images of tarver’s paintings of seated black matriarchal figures are gracing bus shelters throughout boston … focuses on the power and restoration found in the mundane act of sitting. the paintings, which mirror the posture of many commuters, spring from tarver’s deep research into media archives, family photos, and found imagery and explore notions of rest and personal sovereignty through time, especially as they pertain to black women" … cate mcquaid

"jazz, to me, is one of the inherent expressions of negro life in america: the eternal tom-tom beating in the negro soul - the tom-tom of revolt against weariness in a white world, a world of subway trains, and work, work, work; the tom-tom of joy and laughter, and pain swallowed in a smile" … langston hughes

"so try a little tenderness whenever you can … swallow some pain with just a smile" … al janik

Slow-go Mayor Perry has yet to start tenders for bus shelters

CROYDON IN CRISIS: Three years since the borough’s bus shelters were unceremoniously uprooted after council staff signed the borough up to a dodgy get-rich-quick scheme, and the tendering process to replace the 185 shelters has not yet begun. EXCLUSIVE by STEVEN DOWNES Out to lunch: Croydon’s £82,000 per year Mayor has not even started seeking tenders for the borough’s missing bus shelters Two…

#i dont support smoking but he came out of the bus shelter to slam 3 simultaneous cigs in the 4 mins it took for the bus to come #it was literally -6C outside!!! poor guy rolled up gloveless hatless jacketless #and it was so compelling i came home and had to draw him #weiwei art #sketch #rkgk #weve got our own freaks here #doodle #people

Btw if it’s hot where you live right now and you inexplicably feel like absolute shit, this is your reminder that headache/sleepiness/nausea etc are all signs of heat exhaustion. Please go run some cool (NOT cold) water over your wrists and hands, or if you’re at home take a cool (NOT cold) bath or shower.

If you’re out and you don’t have money to go somewhere then head to your closest library. They’ll have AC and a bathroom. I’m so serious. I deadass was on the verge of puking my guts out an hour ago and assumed I was about to get a migraine but turns out it was just good ol heat exhaustion. Your brain is cooking and it will get harder to realize that’s what happening. Stay safe 🫶

Btw don’t use ice or very cold water. It can kill you.

#brought to you by me being out for work in 93 degree heat #biting tearing clawing that society assumes people have air conditioned vehicles #every fucking bus stop needs to have shade. there’s just no excuse for it #I’m tired of this nonsense how hard is it to build a seat and some shelter #it should be an ADA violation at the very least #but in general I am a relatively young person #I hate to think of all the elderly people riding public transit today

#limbus company #lcb #happy pride btw. i don't know if i've already said this #ihave more headcanons than these i think rodya is bi and trans and sinclair is gay and trans but they could only have 1 for this #i did outsource the “who should be on this” to friends because i am indecisive and this is the lgbt bus so. could be any number of sinners #hong lu's particulars being: bachelor (+ sheltered) is really funny to me like #i know the original korean was some sort of title indicating a young man of high birth iirc and it wasn't directly translatable #but “bachelor” as a translation is rlly funny. like confirmed bachelor? the 1950s euphemism for gay men?

don't go into the nonprofit sphere it's just finances and business but you feel bad when shit goes wrong because it like actually affects people's lives

#fighting for my life for this animal shelter to get a simple $1000 grant and there's so many barriers jesus christ #if things go wrong then a bunch of cats die. if they go right then a student group feeds a feral cat colony safely and can go on a bus trip #to a farm #sigh

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

#goddddd it was so bad #i was trying to explain that yes i understand the importance of maintaining my skill but also i want to build my life in a way that doesn't #depend on doing a thing that stabs me directly in the mental illness #and i was basically told that im both a whiny coward that doesn't wanna do scary things AND i do scary things all the time?????#pick one!!!!!!!!! either im a stupid sheltered baby or im a brave soldier who understands the danger of being alive!!#ive always been a Good and Agreeable child but ive been grounded One time in my life #and that was when my parents were teaching me to ride a bike without training wheels and it stressed me out and made me cry so much #I WONDER IF MAYHAPS I HAVE ANXIETY #I KNOW I GOTTA DO SCARY THINGS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SCARY AND I DO THEM ANYWAY #but like sending an email is not putting my life at risk as like. car traffic #and for all my anxiety the only fear ive ever had about public transport has been like. missing a train or a bus #im not afraid of travelling alone or sharing a space with people???#and p much most public vehicles are safer than personal cars????#drivers of the vehicles receive more rigorous training and stuff??? and also they get a lot of experience bc they do it every day???#how is that less safe than putting a mentally ill nervous wreck in the torment nexus #is this what evangelion was about bc im not sure

Hat-trick heroes: Perry and Philp set an Eye 'awards' record

It’s the annual awards that no local council ever wants to feature in. Eye, eye, eye: in all good newsagents, and some not so good, today But this year, thanks to Tory double act Jason Perry and Chris Philp, Croydon Council has picked up no fewer than three “gongs” in Private Eye’s much-anticipated Rotten Borough Awards for 2023. Lord Gnome, the legendary proprietor of the country’s best-selling…
