    hey happy pride specifically to disabled people, especially those of us who wish they could go to a pride celebration but can't. Whether it's not wheelchair accessible, it doesn't have enough places to sit, you're too immunocompromised to take the risk with covid, it's too loud or overstimulating, or any other reason. I see you. I love you. You deserve to be included and have your needs respected.

    The problem with being a Creative Person is I want to create all the things. I want to draw a little drawing. I want to write a fic. I want to write a book. I want to paint with watercolors. I want to paint with oil paints. I want to animate. I want to make something out of clay. I want to sew a dress. I want to play a song on the ukulele. I want to play a song on the cello. I want to play a song on the harp. I want to write a song. I want to write a musical. I want to make a webcomic. I want to make a video game.

    I want to do EVERYTHING but I don’t have the TIME or MONEY or MOTIVATION

    What thing do you hate the most / find the most stressful about driving? (Excluding other drivers or monetary cost for gas/repairs)

    Parking (including parallel)

    Merging onto a highway/freeway

    Highway driving (high speeds, less frequent stops)

    City driving (lots of start/stop, slower speeds)

    Pumping your own gas / filling washer fluid / other basic maintenance

    Passing someone / getting passed at high speeds

    Driving beside/behind big trucks/lorries

    Four way stops / intersections with blinking red lights (acts as a 4-way)

    Traffic circles / roundabouts

    Other (please specify in comments or tags!)

    Please reblog! And in the tags put where you’re from, I’m curious how this differs based on location :)


    Also I was going to add “driving in bad weather” but I left it out because that makes everything more stressful for just about everyone!

    I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."

    "These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.

    "They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

    "They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

    If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

    You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

    "Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.

    if you expect people to spend their lives standing behind a counter or driving to and from their storage closet to stand behind that counter, so you can be served your 10$ coffee with appropriate deference, you fully suck and our conversation is over
