The sad thing about 'walkable city' discourse is that making cities more open to people who walk or use public transport is, in and of itself, actually pretty good. It's just that unfortunately there's a significant overlap between people (online at least) who seriously focus on that issue and people who have turned hating cars into a facet of their personality, and members of the later group are predictably some of the most out of touch and condescending people you will ever meet.
#it just turns into this pie-in-the-sky thinking#that forgets things like extreme temperatures and long distances and odd schedules are actual things people have to live with#elon musk didn't make up the southwestern US having heatstroke-inducing weather to sell more teslas#like as soon as you start saying things like ''independence is a social construct'' to try to sell your position you've lost the plot

Pin journey update! @xannerz and I were super happy with the response towards the Cass flame design I posted earlier, and we're thinking that it would actually be the best pin for our first project! With that said, here are some other designs we've also been playing around with- perhaps ones to revisit or follow up on in the future. ✨
The hand/moonstone design is the simplest, but it might be my favorite.
#next step for the flame pin is final tweaks/vectoring it and then… a quote 👀#please note these designs are still WIPs and we might workshop them more btwn now and later if anything were to happen w/ them!#if you've followed either of us for any amt of time you'll also know we've been daydreaming abt Hector/Brotherhood pins LMAO#I think a charm is likely but a pin would be a bit of a pie in the sky/longshot#(but who knows 👀)#tangled the series#cassandra#tts cassandra#my art#enamel pins#fantasy pins

doing math on voter turnout is making me twitch with fervent hopeless hope bc like
there are now 2.7 million registered voters in harris county, which had a turnout of 66% and went to biden by 56% in 2020
if kamala matches those percentages now, that will account for just shy of a million votes -- more than 300k raw votes more than in 2020
...when trump won texas by around 600k votes
and that's matching those figures -- if turnout is higher, if her margin is higher, that eats sharply away at that margin even more
i'm just... there's a reason she came to houston less than ten days before election day and it wasn't to see the astros
#the other major cities have also seen huge increases in voter registration and also trend as blue or bluer in general#high turnout in texas cities could lead to a massive upset#it would take 75% turnout and 60% democrat for harris county to break that 600k margin#but that's very much pie-in-the-sky even more than anything else#except as a demonstration of how absolutely fucking *massive* harris county is - 3rd largest in the country#there are more registered voters in harris county alone than the total population of fifteen states#increasing voter turnout in harris county could make a huge difference#(80% turnout at the same 56% blue would completely wipe out that 600k margin alone.)#so come on come on#get out the vote

🎩Top Ten Shows of 2022🎩
I decided to make this post for fun.😜If you haven’t followed me all year then you may be surprised by my opinions here. This took me a long time to think about. Thank goodness for mdl. Also thanks bestie @gunsatthaphan for making the gifs for me so it’s not boring 🥺
Without further ado,
I couldn’t not give the number one spot to this show. It may have lagged in the middle, but by the end it was a 12/10 for me. JimmySea deliveredddddddddd. I loved it so much I bought their plushies.
This was the surprise of the year for me. I did not like Tae in Paint With Love so I was hesitant. I saw gifs all over my dashboard mostly courtesy of @laowen. I decided to give it a try, and it quickly rose up in the ranks for me. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the feel of Manner of Death since it is by the same author. TaeTee had some amazing chemistry!!
Did this show have the best plot? No, it did not. What it lacked in it made up for in the three couples. All three couples were loveable and the cinematography was really nice. I have watched this show probably at least 4 times now. ZeeNunew are kings. They carried that show. I am so excited for Cutiepie 2 You. Also how can anyone hate Nat Natsit? He is so cute I just want to put him in my pocket.
I don’t know what it was about this show. I loved the main character so much. I was so excited each week to watch it. I would scour the internet looking for the episodes. Akira was so lovable and adorable.
I am most definitely in the minority here. This show had me dying of laughter the entire time. All the couples were adorable. BillySeng killed it with their chemistry. If you want to laugh then you need to watch this show. I watched episodes multiple times because it was so entertaining. The subtitles even explained all the inside jokes for me and that was just such a nice touch. 🥺
I was one of the few that preferred this show over Star In My Mind. Were Joongdunk adorable? Yes of course, but the story lost me and I was very irritated by the end. I identified with Fah’s character so much. I really liked FahPrince. They were so cute 😍
This show was so so so good! The chemistry was unmatched for a Korean bl. I was so impressed. The story was a great enemies to lovers trope. It was excellent! Jaeyoung was my crush of the year 🙈
I enjoyed the original. It was interesting, but this version was so real. They tackled the relationships and explained everything so well. I really felt what the characters were feeling. YinWar have an insane chemistry. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. VeeMark messy endgame 😝
I feel like this should have been higher purely based on how adorable all three couples were, but the plot was a little frustrating at times. It made it in to the top 10 though, They were all disgustingly sweet. ParkLee, 💣and 🐻, MekKim 💙
I was sooooooo against this show. I blocked the tag because I was so irritated by seeing it on my dashboard. Someone told me to just give it a chance and I ended up enjoying it. Was I as crazy about it as everyone else? The answer would be no. The action scenes and entire production as a whole were fantastic. I felt it deserved the last spot. I did not like VegasPete and never will. I am honestly here for Jeff Satur’s Kim being the badass protecting Porchay.
Honorable mentions: P.S I Hate You, Old Fashion Cupcake, Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!, About Youth, First Love Again, Blueming and Happy Ending Romance.
Also Between Us, My School President, and Never Let Me Go need to be mentioned because they’re all my favs right now.
#top bl 2022#my favs#thai bl#korean bl#jaspanese bl#this was sooo hard :(#I hope people enjoy reading it#seriously#this took me like over an hour#more like 3 hours#vice versa the series#triage the series#cutie pie the series#minato shoji coin laundry#secret crush on you the series#sky in your heart#semantic error#love mechanics#my secret love the series#kinnporsche the series#thanks bestie for making the gifs to accompany 🥺#gunnsattaphan is the best

Almost every post in the Pie in the Sky tag are gifs/screencaps from ONE episode of ONE side character played by that guy who plays izzy hands in our flag means death
Which is whatever, I mean do you, but y'all are out here sleeping on Henry Crabbe who is prime #babygirl material
A tragic oversight, if you ask me......
#pie in the sky#henry crabbe#babygirl.#this is him looking goofy for a promo pic but in the show he is often dressed quite sharp#need to get more tumblr nerds on this show. it's on PBS#get on it girlies!!!!!

You know, I haven’t fully wrapped my head around how I’m going to incorporate it, but I had a great idea for this grant proposal that’s making me very excited
Because I think. finally. I will be able to justify testing arabic-speaking children. I will get to find out what kinds of errors THEY make learning my arabiclike made-up language.
And plus I’m realizing that I like portland more than eugene, and oops, the two Islamic schools and the one Arabic-medium school are all in the portland area oh no I will have to spend so much time in portland if I get this grant oh well
…plus I just really want to be able to stay in one place for three more years, and let scone live in Oregon like he’s really wanted to for YEARS.
I love arabic and I love my pastry and I love how kids do language. I am very excited about this part of the project and I just. The likelihood of it happening is vanishingly low. But it’s more likely to get this grant than getting a TT job. So.
#a ~10% hit rate for grants sucks yes; but compared to the ~0.5% hit rate I’ve had for prof jobs…#also new PI maybe you can support me for a year like you suggested you might be able to in a lab manager-cum-postdoc kind of role#that would be great. I would do that too.#I will happily continue leaning on my network to keep me in academia#as full of toxic bullshit as it is. sigh.#it hurts to feel like I’m so full of promise and so good at what I do and for some reason everything is just arbitrary#maybe I get to do this study; maybe I get to HAVE A JOB#like even working with this PI; everyone before has been all ‘mmm idk that doesn’t sound like a good use of resources’#and so I was like oh okay this is never gonna happen that’s fine#but I’m talking to her one day (because when you get the chance to chat with the dept head you should!)#and she’s like ‘but wait why would it be not a good use of resources? I think this is potentially an interesting idea#so write me up a proposal and we’ll see if we can flesh it out some more!’#so even the answer of ‘sure!’ to ‘maybe I can do this study… maybe’ I’d foreign and strange#same thing for this hockey concussion etc stuff#like I say ‘this is my INCREDIBLE pie in the sky idea; maybe someday#…but seems unlikely’#and my current PI goes no yeah wait here are some things I’ve thought about in that direction#…and I happen to live next to retired NHL players… but it would be very weird of me to ask them so can’t do that right now; but future!!#and so I’m just walking around UO going ‘wait I really can just. do things? people are interested in my ideas?’#(please remember that at a formative time in my research upbringing my advisor called me boring and also that he might not pass me#and like. you get rejected from research jobs and TT jobs and grants and everything#so it’s no WONDER I’m like ‘ah yes my ideas are stupid and boring and why would anyone else be interested in them!’ like any academic is)#anyway it’s amazing how little we as academics ask for#and still get told lol no that’s very extravagant of you#because it’s supposed to be a ~vocation~ and a ~calling~ so we should live like monks#but you know what monks are actually respected members of society and have food and shelter and care provided to them#so yeah if you want me to be a monk of linguistics then you need to fucking treat me like one

When I was a kid, I desperately asked my dad to buy me a Super Nintendo one day in the store, and he told me, "I'll tell you what, I promise I'll buy you a game system when the DOW goes over 10,000."
Five years later I'm walking by my parent's room and here the news say the DOW hit 10,000. I immediately remind my father of his promise, and that's how I got a Playstation.
Like actually in general my parents never just. bought me video games unprompted. I listen to Scott the Woz talk about his parents buying him games and Nintendo Power subscriptions just for no reason and I'm like. ?????? Families do that?
#I also got a PS2 from similar pie in the sky promise from a teacher.#he was buying raffle tickets from the school and I asked if I could have the PS2 if he won and he jokingly said yes#it's possible I snagged it from a more deserving student but he shouldn't have said yes if he didn't mean it

It’s so frustrating and mind-boggling to see so many right wingers online going “y’all are overreacting, he’s not going to do [horrible thing he has explicitly promised to do]”
Like they VOTED for the guy and they have paid zero attention to what his platform actually is. They think his position is whatever they imagine would be nice in their heads, not what he has actually said. Fucking infuriating.
#it’s the same brain worm that made liberals support Biden and Clinton instead of Bernie#because ‘they are more likely to pass Medicare for all’#ARE THEY??? ARE THEY REALLY?? BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WON’T AND BERNIE SAID HE WOULD#I know it’s common for politicians to lie and over-promise but can we PLEASE start believing them when they say what they won’t do#when it’s not even a ‘oh they’re promising pie in the sky’ kind of thing??#like if they have no incentive whatsoever to lie about something maybe we?? idk?? take them at their word????#maybe I’m just too autistic for American politics

The eye twitch that I get at the sight of a pie chart-
#meg is rambling#pie charts to me are like. idk. garlic to a vampire. holy water to a demon. apples to doctors.#they're. just not good ways of visualising data. especially when multiple sections are similar sizes. can lead to misrepresentation.#the only pie chart i like is the one where it's like 'sunny side of the pyramid; shady side of the pyramid; the sky)#like if you can put it in a pie chart it's probably better off as a table imo. more accessible. less room for misinterpretation.#can you tell that i work in data and analytics. totally can't. right?

038, the beach in the late afternoon.
- hehe @91cmspoilers :3c
{ set the scene }
@91cmspoilers !!!!!
It was nearing 6pm. By now, the sun's rays weren't nearly as harsh as earlier, much to the detective's relief. It meant he could enjoy a day on the beach even longer with Izuru: strolling through the beach, swimming, enjoying snacks at one of the pop up booths... everything was all the more fun, when Shuichi could do so with him.
And this time, he even joined him on a run! While he definitely wasn't faster than Izuru, Shuichi was still a pretty fast runner, so he made sure to at least keep up with him. They ran a pretty good stretch of the shore before stopping, in which Shuichi immediately drops to his knees on the sand. His legs were a bit sore and he was panting, but he didn't dislike it at all: in fact, he was laughing and smiling brightly as he looks up at him. "H-Hah...hoo! Ahaha...! O-Oh wow, I don't think I've ran so far through the sand like this, before! Th-That was fun...!"
That, and the cool breeze of the late afternoon brushing through his bangs, reminded him of how fun running through the sand and water really could be. He then reaches a hand up, so he can cup one of Izuru's in it, giving it a soft squeeze. "Today was a lot of fun, with you...! If you want... let's relax right here for a moment? The sunset will be here soon, and... this is a really pretty spot. I'd love to enjoy it with you..." His cheeks turn a light red as he says that. Plus, it was just them right now, in this area. They could have their nice little private time here...
#HEHE!! 💖 BABY BOYSSS!!!#jUST the thought of them having fun running together through the beach was sO cute I had to implement it........#because anything he does with Izuru makes it all the more fun for him~! plus the perfect excuse to use that icon HAHA he's so fugking cute.#and them having a nice little time to themselves...#under the pretty sunset sky that'll soon come: it's what they deserve.....#I love our emo yaoi wife boys sm they make me s i c k..........#TY AGAIN FOR SENDING PIE~#rattles them very furiously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#meme reply;;#Shuichi answers;;#91cmspoilers#♡;; Just Letting You Know That You're Not Alone || {91cmspoilers}
