Hemlock Autumn: And yes, I do need to make it clear, yes, I am aware I am quite lucky to live in a country in which there are alternatives. I am also aware that there are people who do need cars since there are no accommodations for them.

I have read plenty of articles about how The Kids Today don’t play outside anymore, but would like to read one about how the olds today want to sic the cops on them the moment they step outside

Also: driver hits/kills child Endless readers: pop up to comment about how child was idiot who clearly had no idea how to cross a street

I sincerely hate cars. Everything about the contemporary culture concerning cars is just disgusting. Somehow US has it on steroids with the gigantic cars, miniscule space for everybody else and so on

And yes, I do need to make it clear, yes, I am aware I am quite lucky to live in a country in which there are alternatives. I am also aware that there are people who do need cars since there are no accommodations for them.

random thought I won't follow through on: a feed just for posts that include a "this is about pancakes not waffles" disclaimer just to see what things people think they will be misunderstood on

All of us have experienced this at one point or another. I have ZERO patience with people who go this route. Because entertaining them is nonsense.

This is easily fixed by elevating diverse disabled voices in these discussions. Including more Black and Latine voices will insure the role of cars to maintain racially segregated communities is also not overlooked.
