Thinking of cryptid Batfam and them like, pretending to be straight up feral. Like never speaking human language or anything and building up their vigilante outfits to look as natural and Creachur as possible. You know what, give 'em wings and such too. Mechanical ones that started more like gliders but developed more and more into proper ones as they tested things.
But I just want justice league or other Outsiders (Potential crossovers perhaps?) to venture into Gotham to investigate the really high crime-rate, or maybe it's after No Man's Land where they're trying to figure out what happened. Only to start hearing whispers about these beasts that appear each night.

The Signal, who admittedly had a rocky start with Gothamites, quickly becomes a favourite during a really severe blackout in the city. Whether it's making shadow puppets for kids, lighting up streets and helping people safely find their way home, helping surgeons operate when backup generators fail, carrying some very grumpy elderly people down or up stairs when the lifts failed, or even just glowing in the dark and offering something for panicking people. He's essential to helping the other Bats keep the peace and figure out the source of the problem, and the trust makes his next morning shift the best he's had yet.
#even when the lights turn back on people remember how much hope the moving-in person version of the batsignal brought#and the less terrifying suit doesn't hurt either#the signal#duke thomas#batman#dc comics#batfamily

PSA for all drivers in the city of Chicago! There are red octagonal signs at a lot of intersections with the word STOP on them- when you see these signs, that means you should try and use this fun pedal next to the gas called the "brakes" and not attempt vehicular manslaughter with every pedestrian you see! There are also large lights at some intersection- when the top light, the red one, is lit, that means the same thing.
once we master this skill, we can talk about a cool trick for signaling to people (including pedestrians trying to cross the street) that you're going to turn. This tool might be a little tougher to find if you've got a BMW, Audi, or Lexus, but we can find a way to work one-on-one to make sure you can use it. However, it's also important that we learn how to not use it when we're not turning.
#almost got run over like twice today and I'm a bit ticked off!#if you signal that you are going to turn#and you start to turn#you should not SLAM the wheel the other way and FLOOR IT straight through the intersection that I'm starting to walk through#and if you are turning#even if you are turning right!#you should slow your car down to some extent at least#and not try to run over pedestrians who have a walk light#anyways Chicago and Pittsburgh unite bc I don't know how people who live in places where you don't say 'jagoff' deal with bad drivers#like it's just the most satisfying word when faced with certain flavors of bad driving

Honestly, putting my Technology Connections-esk amber turn signal rant aside, I think amber turn signals look better, too.
Like, the reason that's often sited for why North American automakers use red turn signals (sometimes), is because they "look better?"
I don't really get that. Because, imo, a red turn signal looks cheap. It looks very cheap. Like, "sorryyyyy, we couldn't afford two different colors of plastic, so we cost cut that," cheap.
So why luxury automakers like Audi and Tesla continue to use them is beyond me. An amber turn signal is way sexier, imo. It exudes attention-to-detail and quality.

the good news: the one (1) driving school where i live seems to be really good
the bad news: they aren't open on weekends
#SCARY to say.... but i think i want to learn how to drive. maybe even sometime soon. but scary#on the one hand i can comfort myself with the fact that people dumber than me have gotten their license#but on the other hand thats not very comforting when i think of putting myself on the same road as them#its like do i want to be driving on the same roads as people i went to high school with?? dangerous! but anyway#not to mention that where i live its a strictly we dont use our turn signals and we floor it for yellow lights zone#ah well.#all this from the person that wants to move to california as if driving there would be so much easier (no)#i was on the dreaded 101 once i do not ever want to drive that in my life. california people youre so brave

#the city streets are crowded for the holiday#even with the rain#hidden in the chaos#is the element#waiting to strike like snakes#and I'm there too#watching#two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal#i must choose my targets carefully#it's a big city#i can't be everywhere#but they don't know where i am#we have a signal now for when I'm needed#but when that light hits the sky#it's not just a call it's a warning#to them#fear is a tool#they think I'm hiding in the shadows#but i am the shadows

So I had to take an online driving course (bc I was caught speeding 🤫). So Im reading along and I notice they kept saying “directional light”. Like what the hell is a directional light? I swear I didn’t have the slightest clue what they were talking about for half the course until I figured out they meant a god damn turn signal. It’s a TURN SIGNAL! What’s this directional light nonsense?! Never in my life have I ever heard it be referred to as such. Reminds me of that blood orange, red meme
Directional light? They’re so pretentious, it’s a fucking turn signal!

I saw multiple people run a red light at EVERY traffic light intersection I was at and was like ????? and then I realized that they replaced the traffic lights with new ones & the new ones turn from yellow to red WAY faster than the old ones
#it happened the first time i left the house too literally every single intersection#well one of the dudes just straight up ran a left turn on red directly in front of a cop#i got some intense anxiety for that driver for a moment but the cop didn't care he just pulled up to the red light and ignored it#he was busy on his laptop but also everyone knows that THAT specific light is the worst left turn signal in town bc it'll go like#3 full cycles before giving you a green light#so people run it all the time anyway#I've seen cops run it many many times#& not with emergency lights on or anything#it really is just that light lol our neighborhood has been complaining about it for years#if it was near the end of the month tho the cop would have cared bc of ''quota'' or whatever#.bdo

so people are driving really unsfely. endangering themselves and others. but how do we fix this? the hard part is that the most problematic drivers aren't interested in being safe or following rules they just want to go as fast as possible to where they are going. so if required to take a defensive driving course they probably would rush through it and not retain any knowledge.
how could we best keep people safe? Is there a way to make people care about safety?
#ive always been very cautious and i remember rules and safety requirement and gollow them but lots of people dont#car crash numbers are going up and drivers are frequently not following even basic safety rules like using turn signals#or checking if there are pedestrians at the crosswalk#its really bad and its getting worse#recently a large semi truck obliterated a woman who was walking her bike across the crosswalk in my city. it was a right turn on red light#its a technically legal turn but not when there's pedestrians. your supposed to vheck before turning.#this isnt the first time something like this had happened but its the most obviously avoidable accident recently#drivers just not paying attention at all

Today I had to drive around a bit in the nearby big city for the pride event going on and let me tell you. They weren't kidding when they said gays can't drive
#ramble#im joking but also not joking. like it was bad.#someone tried to pull directly into me while i was leaving the parking lot#so many missed turn signals#i sat at a red light for a solid 30 seconds and then watched someone drive right past me and run the light#like. come on now#obviously not all of these people were gay dont come and hit me with sticks of whatever. its a joke.#i can reclaim this joke because im a rehabilitated bad driver.

Everybody always has some shit to say about Nissan Altima drivers as if Honda and Toyota drivers aren’t RIGHT there.
#Liz speaks#I said what I said#fucking worst drivers I’ve ever seen#why do they always stop at a yield??? no one is there???#oh and don’t even get me STARTED on the lack of turn signals#or pulling out in front of me only to slow down???#and then you speed up right before the light changes so I don’t make it? fuck you#just pulling out in front of me in general#like you sit there for fucking ever and right as I approach you pull out in front of me???

i face sexism when driving my old vw bug deadass. bc it’s a “girly” car men in large trucks/sedans will frequently zoom past me to cut me off, prevent me from passing them, or try to race me at stoplights. like it might seem ridiculous but i truly think ppl see my car and are like “there’s a stupid bitch driving” and it smells like misogyny idc idc
#i also would consider myself a fairly good driver like i use my turn signal which is more than 90% of the idiots on the road 🙄#i have had ppl almost run me off the road by merging into my lane like…#these lifted trucks w blue led lights are devil spawn#maddi says

Back on my doordash bullshit since mom gave me her car. I don't have to pay for it, tag it, or insure it. I just drive it. I hate this dodge caliber, but. It's free. It needs some work, but the work it needs is cheaper than a car loan.
There's no reason for me to hate this car, I've just hated it since we got it. I hate hatchbacks and it feels like a cheap piece of shit. Driving it on the turnpike feels like driving a golf cart. Like if I get to 80 it'll just. Fall apart.
But it's free.
Which is good, bc while Michaels made me permanent part time after the holiday season ended, the holiday season ended, and with it went all my hours. So instead of the 25+ hours I was getting in December, I'm barely getting 15 hours a week.
So.
Doordash.
#Except maintenance#Obviously#Gas#Oil changes#Figuring out why my ebrake light is on#Replacing the turn signal light and wiper fluid nozzle that snapped#Etc
