I'm all for being the change you wanna see in the world. But damn, like, please also cross-reference that lifestyle with the world you actually live in before you make drastic choices.
I have acquaintances, here in my major-but-not-capital city in my American central-western state, that strongly believe that a sustainable future relies on car-free communities. I don't disagree. Especially considering our city is one of the least-walkable cities in the country - we're sprawling, our public transit system is so laughably horrible it's actually an embarrassment, and many of our major thoroughfares don't have bike lanes and/or sidewalks - we definitely would benefit from a sea change in how we view walkability and transportation.
My acquaintances believe in this so strongly, they've sold their car. They commute, run errands, and do their kid'a school drop-off and pick-up solely on bicycles.
Fine. Your life, your choice.
Except now one of them needs to be in the Major Capital City tomorrow (a Saturday) at 4pm. Major Capital City is 70 mins by highway @ 75mph north of us.
As mentioned, we do not have adequate public transport. There are two public/private options between here and there, both of them are busses that sell out quickly on weekends. One of them goes only to the airport. And she does not have a car anymore. So her options at the moment are catching the 5:30am bus and carrying an overnight bag with her for twelve hours, or paying close to $100usd for an Uber.
So now she's all up in my feed literally begging for a ride, and receiving basically zero sympathy nor offers of assistance. She's getting all mad and ranting in ALL CAPS COMMENTS on her own post about the state of our transit system. (Because that'll fix it.) She isn't actually blaming anyone for not helping her, but that is clearly an unspoken factor in her frustration level.
I am so baffled and bemused.
Because ummm, you did this to yourself? You're the one who knew the state of the transit system when you made the transportation decisions for your family? You're the one who sold your vehicle as a way of sending a message about your morals and ethics, which is roughly equivalent to gluing yourself to a Starbucks countertop, and now you're mad that you're facing consequences for that decision?
FAAFO, babes.
Look, I want a post-scarcity utopia as much as the next fool, but I'm also aware that nobody gives a dry rat shit about my individual choices. Because they only impact me. If I don't have a car or if I recycle or if I compost or if I only eat organic free-range meat once per week, it won't make a modicum of difference to my community. Me making the choice to recycle isn't going to slow down wasteful corporate manufacturing practices. My compost isn't gonna save the entire planet or even my own neighborhood from being ravaged by climate change. My careful and narrow meat consumption choices will not make a dent in the profitable ubiquity of inhumane factory farming. My choice not to have a car will not be the catalyst for my local governmental officials finally taking public transit seriously. The little individual choices we make might improve your individual life, but do not and will not impact the world around us in measurable ways.
And its pretty staggeringly arrogant to assume you're so important that your choices will be different.

hello, i too have thoughts about hg verse connie. i parsed it together talking with a few friends and it IS in my verses, but just i wonder at what age does it really hit her, how very different she is and yet how close to being one of the children in the games she was.
and even though she holds it very close to her chest, i assume that is where her dislike of the games began.
#ooc » coveralls? hot. seersuckers? hot. off duty dresses? on fire.#i think it would KINDA be cool if she got pulled into say the victor program so that they'd have a hush hush way to treat them#simply because a LOT of people do have victor verses for their hg verses.... let alone write canon characters who are victors#and it gives an EXCUSE#i suppose for prequels hg verse connie... her father maybe wasn't a peacekeeper but rather moved to the capitol after marrying her mother?#small change

Album notes are so wild and Spotify's erasure of them is criminal.
Here's Tom Wait's classic album Small Change in which Shelly Manne is thanked for his "drumistikly pasturized contribution and the 8x10 glossy and the neck tie".
See also the cryptic note: "Herb Cohen - All night at Winchells Donut Shop, June 21, 1976"

tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd
#yeah i’m bitter about carrds becoming so hostile to disabled people#nobody with vision issues or photosensitivity or processing issues or epilepsy or memory issues could possibly read your carrd#small changes like proper colour contrast between background and text can make a world of difference in making your page accessible#even just spelling out the acronyms in your dni or mentioning WHERE a mysterious link will actually lead is so helpful#i see so many links that are just random literary quotes that turn out to lead to a mandatory dni. how would anyone know that??#txt#accessibility#1000

this scene. this fucking scene. when i watched this the first time it really struck me how much 14 has grown. 10 wouldn’t have let that argument go. they would’ve kept pushing buttons until one of them stormed off. but 14 stops, cuts himself off mid-sentence and walks away to take a breath.
“no,” he says. no we’re not doing this. no it’s not my fault. no it’s not your fault. it’s a shitty situation and they’re both stressed and afraid.
and then he apologizes even though he didn’t start the argument and he didn’t spill the coffee. and it was definitely donna’s fault but sometimes being best friends means you let things go and you lie a little because your friendship is more important than being right
AND THEN HE COMFORTS HER. without her asking and without her initiating it.
#doctor who#dw spoilers#donna noble#14th doctor#wild blue yonder#i just ouuuuugh this scene makes me mentally iller#it’s such a small thing but yet speaks volumes to how the character has changed#compared to ‘doctor time lord YEAH!’ and ‘donna human NO!’

Time Travel is my favourite trope and I think we need more fics where both Obi-Wan AND Qui-Gon time travel together because no matter when they get sent it's chaos. They're saving the galaxy and being physic flash-bangs to everyone around them.
like before Bandomeer?
The entire council is baffled to watch as Qui-Gon 'never taking a padawan again' Jinn has suddenly cut off his post-Xanatos depression tour to return to the temple and beeline to the creche with a frantic energy. His wild eyes immediately single out a fluffy, red-haired initiate.
"You." he exhales with a pointed finger, slightly ominous as he towers over the child. Said child starts vibrating with delight. "Me." he agrees, launching himself at the man. Qui-Gon drops to his knees with a thud that cannot be healthy. Obi-Wan's attempts to clamber into Qui-Gon's robes and maybe onto his shoulders is thwarted by the fact that Qui-Gon's massive hands are cupping Obi-Wan's tiny squishy cheeks. He stares at the initiate for a few minutes with an intensity that is starting to worry people.
Finally, "You're so small." Qui-Gon sounds like he might cry.
'What the fuck?' Plo Koon projects at Mace.
"I'm 9! That tends to be the case!" the child chirps back.
"You're nine." Oh. Ah. Qui-Gon's eyes are distinctively misty. He squishes the boy in a hug so hard he squeaks. Mace makes a series of gestures that imply the need for a head-scan. Depa obligingly drifts off towards the halls. Qui-Gon scoops the child up onto his hip and claims him as his padawan on the spot. The assorted council members and creche-masters burst into noise. Mace tells Depa to bring some space ibuprofen as well.
after Naboo?
Anakin is a little apprehensive of his place in both the order and Obi-Wan's life, but then one day Obi-Wan wakes up and is suddenly a lot less sad in the force?? In fact, if Anakin didn't know better he'd say he was almost giddy, but he's watched Obi-Wan try to pretend his world hasn't fallen apart for the past few months so it can't be that, right? And um, Miss Bant? He knows grief is a funny thing that affects people differently but he's pretty sure 'massive mood swing' and 'having full conversations with invisible people' is not...great? and you said to tell you if Obi-Wan got really weird in any way.
Anyway after a lot of medical exams, intense consultation with the archives, and a couple exorcisms, Anakin ends up being raised by his 'real' master and his ghost master. He is far more well adjusted emotionally and far less well adjusted for what counts as normal people behavior(not talking to thin air). When questioned on this, all he ever says is that he's talking to Qui-Gon. Isn't he...dead? Well, yes. Wait, he's a ghost? Ghosts are real? ...Well this ghost is real.
This starts a great number of existential crises among non-force sensitives and incredibly heated theological arguments amongst the Jedi. Whenever Obi-Wan is questioned on this, all he ever says is some variation of "the force got to know him for 5 seconds and kicked him back out." Mace backs him up on this even though that reasoning is technically blasphemous. Qui-Gon is having the time of his un-life. He's ascended to his final form, his sheer existence is a heresy, this is truly all he has ever aspired towards.
the Clone Wars?
The minute they get dropped back Qui-Gon immediately goes and haunts the shit out of Dooku. They have a signed terms of surrender and promise of info on the Sith Lord within the year. Only half of it is because Qui-Gon's giving Dooku complexes that are only perceptible to shrimp, the other half is because they now have a ghost spy that is not bound by the laws of physics nor spacetime.
Obi-Wan only nominally pays attention to this as he immediately goes and implements his 19 step seduction plan with Cody (he had to focus on something on Tatooine to pass the time). It fails. Spectacularly. Publicly. Ah right. Tatooine was not exactly the height of his sanity. Everyone in the GAR and temple is now riveted by High General and Councilor Obi-Wan Kenobi's attempts to go on a date with his Commander, who bats him away him like a particularly annoying stray and seems one bouquet of cactus away from committing mutiny. Anakin is worrying if it means his master knows about his secret marriage and this is some sort of really weird power play. (It is, but not in the way he thinks)
The next time Dooku goes after Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon spends a good few months appearing tear-stained at the edge of Dooku's perception and only communicating in terrible wails and discordant mutterings of 'padawan. my padawan. my little one.' 24/7.
"Wait, you're annoying Dooku into surrendering?"
"Oh no Anakin, we're crushing his psyche like a bug. :)"
#everyone feel free to use these i crave more time travel fics#the sheer power qui gon would have as a fully communicating force ghost before and during the clone wars is astounding#qui gon with baby obi wan is like inconsolable sobs cause he never saw him this small and then his life was so sad and he couldnt even hug#him on tatooine but now look at his boy!!! so small and huggable!!!!#they absolutely weaponise baby obi against others his wet cat eyes are 1000% stronger now#they drop him in dookus lap like look grandpadawan:)#if you hold the grandpadawan maybe your sith behaviour will calm down :/#anyway them together is like they throw enough bullshit into the air to blind everyone while they speedrun important changes in the back#after naboo is like everyone offering obi wan condolences and obi responding yeah im going to need them the fucker wont stay down#star wars#obi wan kenobi#qui gon jinn#qui gon and obi wan#fic ideas#time travel shenanigans#codywan#anakin skywalker#disaster lineage#count dooku
