Y’ALL. We have one of those cling film covers in our bathroom window for privacy and in the afternoon when the sun hits it just right, it makes rainbows, right? And today my wife sends me the best pic she’s ever taken:

image

maybe it's because i recently rewatched it but i can't get over the ending of catws...what do you MEAN after everything he's done steve is fully accepting of the fact that he'll die on one of the ships and is slumped over but the moment he sees bucky struggling, being afraid of dying he gets up, he goes over, and he saves him. it doesn't even occur for him to let bucky suffer for a moment longer, no, his brain immediately goes overdrive and pulls up his own bleeding body to go hold the falling debris until bucky is safe.

and then after he's done that, he fully commits to it. he throws his helmet, he throws his shield and accepts that he'll die but at least he'll die by bucky's hand. could you even imagine, in that moment, being so in love with somebody you'd let them kill you, just for a chance, a chance they'll remember you. i'm going insane.

My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry

image

Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?

If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.

Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.

I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians

image

If the tracked area is for trams/streetcars only, may I recommend that you make it green track?

image

Not only does it add much needed greenery to public spaces, but it also reduces heat at street level, reduces the running noise of trams and dramatically improves water drainage at street level. It even goes as far as reducing the damage to the tracks caused by the material expanding and buckling in high heat by simply keeping the rails cooler and better displacing heat.

image

It doesn't even have to be grass! Different species of plant, local species or hardier, low-maintenance species can be used, and furthermore, it tends to reduce maintenance costs of the tracks, as soil is easier to dig up than concrete or tarmac, and so the tracks can be accessed and worked on easier.

Obviously, if you want the street to be able to accept buses along with trams/streetcars, or other rubber-tyred vehicles, then a hard surface is necessary, but if it's light rail only, then green track gets my vote.

Already made the edit, I hope you enjoy the green tracks and their flowers. This image is very green

image

Redoing the color of the bike path to make the street less fucking green

image

I love the idea of green tracks, but in this case they are not a good choice:

You still need the possibility for rubber based vehicles like Fire Cars or Ambulances to pass the streets.

You can't just put them on tracks because they need to be as mobile as possible to allow maximum efficency.

Okay removing the grass due to firecodes

image

Urbanism pride flag lol

we still need green so maybe put flowerpots in the middle of the sidewalk? Like rectangular ones that only take up maybe a fifth of the sidewalk width, and their intermittent, maybe one between every other set of trees.

The street planters have come in

image

Honestly if you want some good green space you should consider bioswales between the bike facilities and the "street", which would help replace some of the lost drainage/filtration function from de-greening the track

The bios have been swaled

image

A tumblr comment that reads "Once again, fewer tables for wheelchair access"ALT

@puddlebrigade Okay the tables have been moved and reduced to be more accessible and some planters have been moved

image

a tumblr comment that reads "bring the green bike path back if there's no green track"ALT

@professionalchaoticdumbass Green is back in fashion

image

a screenshot of tumblr tags that read: #love the flowerpots but I feel like actual trees for shade might be good #maybe off to the far right and left to provide shade without blocking sidewalksALT

The large dark green dots are trees

Is it too soon for this?

image

Yes, you aren’t even on the current version

image

Sidewalk seems a little tight tbh

Sidewalk widened. Goal achieved

image

Two Tumblr Comments One Reads "Idk if this had been said, but benches (without anti-homeless crap)" and the second one reads "put a dragon on the street (i think it would look cool)"ALT

@i-use-oxford-comma The benches have been added and @prawnhubpremium The dragon is opening a shop

image

a tumblr tag that reads #obsessed with whatever is going on hereALT

We are making a good street

mech with “student driver” stickers slapped all over it

Too many people are forgetting these things too quickly:

-SESTA/FOSTA passed. Despite the many, many warnings of sex workers.

-A bunch of apps started their censorship policies because Apple directly threatened their revenue if they didn't promise to cut down on the amount of porn on their sites

-MasterCard and VISA tried to outright stop processing OnlyFans work SPECIFICALLY because of the association with sex work, and no other feasible financial reason.

There is not a sudden regressive movement among individual people. Free The Nipple didn't fade into obscurity because people didn't care. It was stopped. By policies. By laws. By arrests. By censorship. These things have been purposefully put in place by companies and politicians. They saw the work we were trying to do wrt bodily autonomy, sexual liberation, and sexual freedom, and they forcibly put a stop to it.

You know. Some people could really stand to get more comfortable with the idea of “you shouldn’t say that because it’s mean”. Especially with really common body shaming and straight up bullying lines.

“You shouldn’t make ugly bald jokes because what if a transman on T sees it!”

“You shouldn’t make virgin jokes because what if someone who’s asexual sees it!”

How about you just don’t make them because they’re mean. How about people can be balding or a virgin for a number of reasons and also don’t deserve to be routinely made fun of. How about saying that the reason you shouldn’t make x joke because it spares x specific identity’s feelings also let’s them know that you actually have no problem saying or thinking bald people are ugly or virgins are stupid or etc but you’re just not saying it in front of them. How about you understand this kind of body shaming and bullying especially in a very public setting online are always going to have way more unintended damage to people who did nothing wrong than damage to the person you’re upset with.

Sometimes the best reason to not make a bad joke like that is because it’s fucking mean.

I wish I was taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish my cat had a phone I would call her.

*touching his extremely defined six pack* who did this to you.....

Promise you'll stop for me :(
