the bus system here is SLOW as hell and biking downtown (or anywhere for that matter) is impossible unless you either live uptown where there are protected bike lanes or you live near this singular bike corridor and the destination is also alongside this corridor.

I know the MBTA has its issues but good lord, compared its problems are nothing compared to charlotte's transit system we only have two lines, one being an electric streetcar and the other being a light rail.

Finally, at the next intersection of cedar/columbus I got off the SW corridor to take the crosswalk up to the sidewalk leading up this hill. I waited my turn once again and when I started crossing, a car totally ignored my right of way and cut me off forcing me to brake and yell at him angrily.

At the next intersection at Roxbury crossing (the block over from where Louisa was killed) I waited for my turn to cross and when it was granted, I started biking when a car came out of nowhere in the intersection from the left side of where this picture was taken forcing me to brake (it was red)

yesterday on my bike ride home in Roxbury I almost got hit by a car three times, despite "following the rules of the road". I slowed down at a crosswalk on Prentiss St with flashing lights which I had right of way at, while a car just straight up sped through the crosswalk.

re: DSA discourse

shaq "I sleep" and "real shit" meme.
I sleep: establishment dems when republicans/their own party does something horrific
real shit?: establishment dems when DSA-backed candidates advocate for social safety nets and an end to genocide

Julia Husar@juliahusar· 22d

yes. yes it is :)

Anti DSA ad reading: The DSA's mission is to replace capitalism with democratic socialism by shifting economic and political power from corporations and wealthy owners to workers and the public. Is this what you want for America?

just a taste of the absolute bs this op-ed is. queer liberation is for *all* queer people, not just those who neatly fit into "more traditional" categories. not only will playing this respectability politics game backfire in the long-run, it's just a generally shitty thing

But the capaciousness that makes “queer” appealing to some also makes the term remarkably easy for anybody — regardless of orientation — to adopt as a kind of radical chic identity label. Because the word “queer” can describe any departure from social norms, it becomes an open door through which almost anyone can walk. Polyamorous? Queer. Vaguely uncomfortable with gender expectations? Possibly queer, too.

In a time of backlash, this is not a confusion that gay people can afford, especially those of us who live in red states and religious communities. In my work with the Reformation Project, which advocates the acceptance of same-sex relationships in the church, I have watched conservative Christians grow noticeably more guarded in recent years. Even those who had, however reluctantly, made their peace with same-sex marriage being legal have become increasingly alarmed by their sense that the L.G.B.T.Q. movement lacks clear limiting principles. And while the sharp recent drop among Republicans in support for marriage equality is only part of a larger ramping up of culture-war populism, losing the clarity and moderation of the message that once appealed to a majority of them cannot have helped.

Matthew Vines wrote an op-ed for the NYT today and.... I have thoughts (might I add, the same day the Supreme Court further codified discrimination against trans people)
