[inbabylontheywept]

the house i grew up in was a little bit of a fixer upper. for the first 19 years, my dad just sort of slowly fixed it, but pretty early on in college, he came into a large amount of cash and decided to just do the whole thing at once. so he rented a different house for like, 2 months that was just a block down from us, and then got a bunch of contractors to fix original house ASAP. it was kind of crazy, but it compressed many years of work into like, three months.

the sitting in a new house for three months was actually pretty fun. and i shouldnt really complain at all (staying at home while in college is a sweet deal)

but.

but. my parents are fairly hard of hearing, and their bedroom in the old house was in the furthest possible annex from everyone else. wheras in the rental it was just in the middle of the house. so without going into details, i was extremely aware that my parents were having sex like, eight times a day. my dad had just retired and i guess they were celebrating, which is great i guess, having parents that really like each other is way better than the alternative, but also, it did make me envy their deafness. i kept headphones on for so long that year i got literal ear calluses.

at the same time, the house my buddy from the shoe incident grew up in flooded. turbo flooded. they burst like, two pipes at once and the damage was so severe they had to redo all the flooring and all the drywall. his family actually had homeowners insurance, which is either incredible or suspicious for a family that used the drained pool in their backyard to store rusty scrap metal. so insurance was handling the work, but in the meantime, they were crammed into a very small hotel room space. we did the math on it then, it averaged about 80 square feet a person.

so one day i got home, and i was chilling, and then six rolled around, and apparently six o'clock was sex o'clock because my parents decided to flex their cardio. i grabbed my headphones and prayed that god would do for me what he did for beethoven, but that failed to work, and then seven rolled around and my parents were still at it, which again, very impressive, but was pushing me to swap out judas for mozart in those prayers. there's a definitive point where you stop praying to be deaf and instead pray that god could take you to a nice field and pop you like a gore-balloon.

i was about five minutes away from that point when my friend called me and basically said i have been stuck in a 500 square foot space with 6 people and i didn't have many marbles to start but what few i had are gone. please. if we are friends, if we were ever friends, take me out of here just for a moment.

and i was still pretty mad at him, but i had pity on the poor guy. also helped that i was desperate to leave the house. so i drove the chickenshitmobile to the hotel and i picked him up, and then we did our normal hangout activity, which was go to food city and buy produce. his normal house was, on a good day, nasty, and his backyard was, as i stated before, mostly used to store mosquito larvae and rusty metal, so what we'd always done before was just walk to the grocery store a half block away and leer at vegetables.

so we did that and it was like old times again. they had some radishes that were expired, so i could buy like, literally an entire grocery bag of them for about $5. so i did. i really like radishes. he got a coconut because he liked fruit and beating things with hammers.

which probably would've been great except we didn't have a hammer, so instead we spent about 30 minutes stomping itike it owed us money. when it finally cracked we cheered like we just got the winning touchball at the superdome and then he ate some of the flesh, and i ate some of the radishes, and we admired the black, starless sky of the city before i took him back to his hotel room.

and then we got pulled over.

i forgot to turn my lights on because the street all around the food city was ludicrously well lit. so it went from being pretty bright, to pretty bright and flashy, then i pulled into a parking lot and a cop came to ask us for IDs which is where everything went to shit:

i’d forgotten my license at home. 

the cop was was actually kind of chill about it - he said he could get by with just an address. except i did not know my address. i hadn't memorized the new one yet. so i told the cop, my house is getting remodeled, i don't know my address right now. and then he went to my friend, and my friend said the exact same thing. house getting remodeled, staying somewhere else, no address, sowwwwwwy.

now the cop genuinely didn't know what to do. he went back to his car, and i was stressed that i was about to get into HUGE trouble so i started eating the radishes and my buddy started eating more of his coconut, and we actually managed to eat like a quarter of both before the cop came back. we ate enough produce that he could smell something weird in the air, and he asked what the smell was, and i said radishes, and my buddy said coconut, and the cop said which, and then we produced a large bag of droopy radishes and an absolutely brutalized coconut, and the cop was just like

so my buddy tried explaining how he was sharing a 500 square foot apartment with 6 people and wanted a fruit he could fight with power tools, and i tried explaining how i'd actually tried buying my parents like, board games and puzzles and stuff but nothing worked - the only thing my parents seemed to like doing right now was each other, and we both went on long enough and pathetically enough that the cop eventually went:

ok. stop.

and we stopped.

and he said do you know why i pulled you over?

and i said, because of my headlights, and my friend (who is hispanic) and the cop both looked at me like like i was the dumbest person in the entire world. and then the cop said no. that's why i'm allowed to pull you over. i checked your car because this neighborhood has a terrible sex trafficking problem, and i pull over every car i can to make sure no one is buying or selling sex. and you two are obviously doing neither. now i could give you, like, four tickets right now, but that would do nothing to make this area safer, so just turn your lights on, go home, drive safe, and try to be less stupid in the future.

and i said okay but i was thinking, you know, damn, this is just how i live man, i don't have a hidden third gear i can shift into. people can't just get smarter because it would be convenient. it's always convenient to be smart. i am literally trying my best.

but i didn't say anything because i was, slowly, learning how to filter what i said. instead i nodded and the cop left then i dropped my buddy off, and the last thing he said was said he owed me for responding to his SOS. I said he owed me for a lot of things, and he agreed that was true. then i drove home with my lights on, 5 under the speed limit, and arrived to a peaceful quiet home. I could’ve wept with relief but instead I went to bed.

the relief was short lived. i was woken up at 6 am by my parents. i swore, and then i prayed, and when i did not explode, i swore again. then i got up to make breakfast before my first class.

these nascar fans watch traffic incidents to pass the offseason. the vocabulary of commentators has forever bled into their speech

Something about Snow duo breaking the cycle of Desert duo just hits different.

being emotionally dysregulated is made exponentially more fun when you're on your period and nearly burst into tears because twitter decided to kill a thread you'd been typing for half an hour

road trip so fun but man I'm glad to be back in my little Subaru Outback and not in that huge ford pickup truck anymore

Limited life thing I forgot to post about on Friday

So I think it was in session 2- I mean it must’ve been because of bread bridge and such. Anyway, did anyone else notice the parallel between when they were talking to pearl building the bridge towards the most neighbors and she was breaking blocks and the bad boys INCLUDING GRIAN were breaking blocks below her

Sound familiar?

Yes of course it does because the fandom went feral over mumbo and grian at the ghast farm in last life because even though they were laughing the dramatic angsty potential was insane

Obviously it wasn’t scripted or anything and this is kind of a stretch but like

Roundabout crumbs yay

[maespri]

sometimes i start randomly laughing over something funny sara and joe did but then i remember joe is dead and suddenly nothing's funny

[wavesofwisteria]

being a pedestrian in a city in a nordic country is like: it's 5pm and it's pitch black. there are hardly any street lights or shop lights on because everyone's trying to conserve energy. it's raining. everyone is wearing black. there's a sidewalk, a bike lane, two lanes for cars, and a tram line. none of them are moving at the same speed. there are five crosswalks to get across one intersection. also there's a giant hole in the ground next to you from construction so you have to walk in the bike lane. you fear for your life at every moment

[lyriumheart]

every other week it's some new wild bullshit with my father

[theartisticcrow]

The only one I clicked yes to was this one

major traffic incident

[trapangeles]

Tragic Accident Claims Pedestrian's Life on 60 Freeway in Boyle Heights

Boyle Heights, CA – A fatal incident occurred this evening on the eastbound 60 Freeway near Indiana Street, where a pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.

The identity of the victim has not been released, and it remains unclear why the pedestrian was on the freeway at the time of the collision. The driver involved remained at the scene and is cooperating with law enforcement officials.

This tragic event highlights the dangers pedestrians face when near or on freeway systems. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) advises that pedestrians should avoid freeway areas due to high-speed traffic and limited visibility.

As the investigation continues, authorities urge anyone with information about the incident to contact the CHP's East Los Angeles office.

The Day Land and Sea Collided: A Bizarre Traffic Incident

Picture this: a quiet suburban street, bathed in the warm glow of a late afternoon sun. The tranquility is suddenly shattered by the screech of tires and the sickening crunch of metal on metal. But this is no ordinary traffic accident.

On that fateful day, witnesses were treated to a sight that seemed pulled straight from a surrealist painting. A civilian car, perhaps driven by someone distracted by their phone or a wayward thought, collided with a tow truck. But not just any tow truck – this one was carrying precious cargo: a military amphibious vehicle, poised awkwardly on its bed like a fish out of water.

The scene was a study in contrasts. The sleek lines of the civilian car, now crumpled and bent, stood in stark opposition to the rugged, utilitarian design of the amphibious vehicle. The tow truck, caught in the middle, seemed almost comical in its role as an unwitting mediator between land and sea transport.

One can only imagine the circumstances that led to this bizarre confluence of vehicles. Perhaps the amphibious vehicle was being transported for a military exercise, or maybe it was on its way to a museum. The civilian driver, likely going about their everyday business, could never have anticipated becoming part of such an unusual incident.

This collision serves as a poignant reminder of the complex interplay between civilian and military worlds. In peacetime, we often forget that military equipment moves alongside us on our roads and highways. This incident brings that reality into sharp focus, highlighting the sometimes uneasy coexistence of civilian and military spheres.

Moreover, the presence of the amphibious vehicle adds an intriguing layer to this story. These versatile machines, capable of operating both on land and in water, represent a fascinating chapter in the history of military technology. Developed during World War II, they played crucial roles in various conflicts, from the D-Day landings to more recent peacekeeping missions.

As we reflect on this unusual incident, it's worth considering the broader implications for transportation history. The collision of these disparate vehicles – a civilian car, a commercial tow truck, and a military amphibious vehicle – serves as a metaphor for the complex evolution of transport technology. From the earliest wheeled carts to the most advanced military hardware, our methods of moving people and goods have come a long way.

In the end, this bizarre traffic incident reminds us that history isn't always made on battlefields or in parliament buildings. Sometimes, it happens on an ordinary street, when the mundane collides with the extraordinary. It's a testament to the unpredictable nature of life and the surprising ways in which different aspects of our world can intersect.

As we move forward, let's keep our eyes open for these unexpected moments of historical significance. They serve as vivid reminders of the complex, interconnected world we inhabit – a world where land and sea vehicles can quite literally collide, creating a snapshot of transportation history in the process.
