"Unless a person has spent real time in the bowels of a courthouse, it’s hard to imagine how many of the matters clogging criminal courts across the country originate from a lack of transit."

I'm currently trying to recreate my profile after the unexpected demise of #outdoorsLGBT, and figured this time around I'd write an #intro post. I'm #nonbinary and vibe with things I've seen in #actuallyAutistic posts. I'm a software engineer working in the Seattle area. I like animals and nature. I haven't tended to post much, and I'm interested in enough things that it's hard to guess what I'm likely to boost ( #linguistics, #archaeology, #publicTransit)

Congrats to Paris on opening Europe's longest gondola lift today!
It's 4.5 km long (which looks tiny on the map of Paris, but is the same as from the middle of the urban core and mostly to the edge of it here in my capital city of Oslo, Norway) and is a part of the regular transit system. The bus used to take 40 min, now you can soar above the traffic for 18 min instead!
Sounds pretty amazing, if you ask me

Cool video about the great Swiss train system. Visiting all cantons in 24 hours, via train (and a bit of bus)
on the one hand, i hate to add to the unbearable noise of BUY THINGS! and PROMOTIONAL CONTENT! but on the other hand, no one will know that i’m a little art-making creature and that some of my art gets made into prints and stationery and neat stuff you can own if i don’t make a concerted effort to try to tell you. and it would be really cool if you considered giving your support to artists who are probably just trying to pay the bills rather than line the pockets of exploitive mega-businesses where you can. i know it’s kind of inevitable that we can’t always make that choice, but where you can, whether it’s me and my silly artworks, or another artist you think is a good person making neat things, and it’s within your means to do so, your support means so much to us.
heck, if you're an artist who makes stuff for sale, feel free to drop your links below and i'd love to share them!

These have been really difficult days. It's easy to feel no hope when your locus of control is zero. When you have no income, your locus of control is zero. In a capitalist society, this makes you, by definition, little more than an NPC, incapable of anything but scripted responses (unless you want to be seen as a crazy person, which I am tired enough no longer to mind).
Also, I'm sure that if you die, instead of accountability, somebody gets experience points.
Your compassion and generosity have been a lifesaver in these days. The first time I tried to get into Pittsburgh, I learned the bus ran only in the early morning and in the late afternoon. Incredibly, it was only 10 AM, and already my day was ruined. That was Wednesday.
Thursday, I was broke. And it was Thanksgiving. On a day celebrating the genocide of American Indigenous people, I considered the ways in which capitalism is designed to force us to destroy ourselves when we can no longer serve in the people-grinder that is the American workforce. It is a day to remember all that we must fight for and against.
I'm not sure when I was reminded about Venmo's existence for the second time, but I was dissociating so intensely that I ended the night as Joan with Pip, Carmen, and Chaz so exhausted they passed out. And I started getting this really bad headache that hasn't really gone away since. But Venmo existed, and you had come through for me big time. I could end Thursday much better off than I started it. And now, I think maybe I'll be OK for a week or so. As long as I don't get hit by too many surprises like the transportation one on Friday (see below).
At some point I got half the Budget money back, but my account is now overdrawn by $400, and now by $35 less thanks to a new GoFundMe donation that just came through. (I'd talked about this before in short, but I fought so hard for this that I'm still tired about it.) I'm not optimistic we'll get that checking account cleared soon, but I'm happy it's not as daunting a prospect now. The GoFundMe goal is currently to clear this final $400 deficit so I can use my bank account again.

LA Metro Board member wants a plan for ICE on transit as reinstated bus drivers fight for back pay

Sometimes I wonder if the real reason I’m not a more successful artist is that I insist on making niche works which will appeal to, for instance, only those within the intersecting sliver of the venn diagram of people who like the Hollow Knight Silksong family of video games and people who are from Toronto and/or are urban public transit enthusiasts, who will recognise this stop on the TTC. Anyway that’s why I made this a limited edition print.
