I honestly feel like the proliferation of LED headlights was the canary in the coalmine for the general attitude we see in the political climate these days and i'm not even remotely kidding
Very much in line with the attitude of "this choice will marginally improve the way I move through the world and make everyone else's experience SIGNIFICANTLY worse, but I don't really care, based simply on the fact that I am allowed to do it and there's nothing they can or will do to stop me" ya feel me?
i was waiting in an auto shop during the first trump administration when an older lady came in and nervously asked about getting her headlights upgraded. her eye doctor said she should have brighter lights when driving at night, but she was very concerned about blinding oncoming traffic. she wanted to know what the safe mid-range was that’s brighter than what she had but wouldn’t cause accidents or problems for other drivers.
the guy told her they’d put in their brightest lights that would be amazing for her vision. this poor woman kept trying to rephrase to get him to understand her question. “i don’t want to look like i’m driving with my brights on.” and he said, “if someone flashes their lights at you, you just turn on your actual brights and that’ll teach them.”
like he literally could not understand that she was worried about other people, or about creating a generally safe driving environment. the only problem with LED lights is that it’s annoying for you when other dumbass drivers flash their lights at you, and that’s okay because you can punish them for it.
I do not remember liking this, but clearly past me has good taste
I’m experiencing such joy thinking about how excited youd get when you hear the sound of hooves coming down your street - it’s the post!! It’s coming!!

once i beat the depression and the burnout and the anxiety and the loneliness and the exhaustion and the guilt and the awkwardness and the apathy and the low income and the chronic illness and the impatience and the vulnerability and the creative block and the capitalism and the cruelty THEN you'll see
Yesterday I had a vision and whipped this up real quick
(also hi I'm not dead just haven't been using Tumblr, might use it more we'll see)
Fuck Caesar's Legion, all my homies hate Caesar's Legion
everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there's a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space
Yes, that’s. That’s where we are.
