By which I mean vehicles should be designed that way.
Everyone leaves.
Some might come back but it's never quite the same.
Water is wet in the exact same way that oxygen is flammable.

I'm not sure why anyone would be actually confused- it's the party of "believe what I'm saying not what I'm doing".
It's not a mistake or confusion. It's PR.
Watch this at least 3 times. Maybe just 20 min straight. We need it.

Have you seen the media we grew up with?
The Mummy (1999), A Bug's Life, Sesame Street, Mr Rogers, Animaniacs, dystopian/apocalyptic fiction far as the eye can see, constant commercials for purple ketchup and candy soda and toys that would 💀 us...
Survival is resistance, but to find joy and light in your life despite all the attempts to snuff it out... Joy is what makes it worth it. Delight in the world and let that carry you through.
I will dance through their marches, a beam of light in darkness.
Piss off a bigot today: Be happy. 🤟
Getting elevated 🍃 in the chilly morning fog, and I have two thoughts:
I am sincerely happy. Life is good. Everything in my little world, in this moment, is perfect, and I am content.
In times like these, Joy Is Resistance...
(1/x)
Things I say while elevated:
"...the multilayered tangled web of relationships between the infinite combinations of selves."
Things I also say while elevated:
"But, I'm high as Saturn's tiddies so hypothetically..."
My thumbs want to furiously type out a novel...
And yet I have no words.
I cannot describe the feeling.
It's... a fullness.
A completeness.
The most... strange.
We forgot we were capable for so very long.
A lot of academics have a work ethic that could be described as "terrifying"...
But I imagine at least some of that comes from voluntarily enduring 20+ years of school. 😅
Right now, my family is piling into the kitchen over ham and mashed potatoes, surrounded by boys in short pants and girls in bright Easter dresses, fresh from Sunday school.
I am far away, smoking lettuce in the warm air and sunshine.
I'd rather be here. Life is rough right now, but #lifeisgood 😁
I feel like we missed an opportunity when we didn't make "The Bleach Boys" by the Dead Milkmen into the anthem of 2020...
