Sounds like you need to take your own advice and learn to fuckjng drive bitch

I do see both the wisdom in your advice and the good intentions with which you dispensed it, but when I said I literally cannot fucking drive, I wasn't being figurative in the sense of being a Gay Who Can't Drive, I was being literal, in the sense of only being gay incidentally, but having a plot-relevant neuroanatomical condition which precludes driving safely.

the post i reblogged about fast fashion just reminded me that

a) i have had my raincoat since 2016

b) my raincoat is significantly past its best in ways that cannot be solved with additional waterproofing spray, and also doesn't fit me very well anymore

c) my winter coat, while reasonably warm, is not waterproof, and also doesn't fit very well in a completely different way, and is black which is not good when you are a cycle commuter cos they can't see you

d) all of these combine to mean i keep looking covetously at waterproof insulated coats in tesco even though they are definitely unsustainably produced and also not that good bc that's where my substandard winter coat is from

concluded i should thoughtfully invest in a new, warmer raincoat before i get tempted into buying another shit coat or spend the whole winter cold and wet

went to passenger bc i bought a fleece and trousers from them a few months back and have basically not worn anything else all summer (and thy seem to have reasonably good sustainability credentials, as far as is possible with mostly-synthetic outdoor clothing). found an insulated raincoat in their outlet section discounted 60% to make it almost affordable. and it's partially ORANGE

remembered my rucksack also sucks because it's too small, black, and not waterproof (and doesn't have side pockets for my cane or my water bottle), and my old one that was not too small or black but also not waterproof has well and truly fallen apart after serving me faithfully since i was about 16. well, since i'm here... oh look they have a rucksack in the outlet section as well. AND IT'S ORANGE

god i love it when i can get things that are orange

anyway that's my clothing/accessory purchases for the rest of the year. i hope they're good.

owning and operating a car in massachusetts is so hard when you’re pensive and pious and thoughtful and enlightened. the other cars honk at me with hatred in their hearts as I kindly do not slaughter the pedestrians crossing the street in front of me. they would crucify me if they could catch me because I use my blinker

Nigerian saleswoman Ivy Junaid says her daily half-an-hour commute from mainland Lagos to the city's island business district has changed her life. What was once often a three-hour nightmare drive to work with a pre-dawn start and gnarly traffic has become a quick sprint skimming across the waters of Lagos lagoon by boat. "You can actually get out of bed when you need to. You have breakfast at home, strut in here, strut into the boat and 30 minutes across the water," the telecoms employee said. "It's really a life-saving situation for most of us." Flanked by lagoon waters and the Atlantic Ocean, Nigeria's economic capital Lagos has long used its waterways as an alternative to the megacity's chaotic roads. But soon more commuters like Junaid in the city of 20 million could be travelling by boat under plans to massively expand waterway transport and multiply passenger numbers. With an around 410-million-euro ($455-million) investment from France's AFD development agency and EU institutions, the progamme -- known as Omi Eko or Lagos Water in Yoruba language -- also aims to tackle carbon emissions with a fleet of electric-powered ferries. Whereas most Lagosians live on the mainland part of the city, a lot of offices and workplaces are on the islands area -- Victory Island, Ikoyi, Lagos Island and Lekki -- linked by a series of bridges.

It probably says something about me that I'm so uniquely fond of the MBTA that a little !!! popped up in my head while passing the Blue line Logan drop off, despite the fact that I will not step foot on the MBTA this week.
