“Walkable city” is not “City where to have to walk everywhere.”
“Walkable city” is.
- Sidewalks big enough to fit you, your stroller, your wheelchair, your guide dog, or anything else you need when you’re getting from one place to another.
- Safe crosswalks frequent enough so you don’t need to walk in traffic.
- Bike lanes to keep bikes out of foot traffic and car traffic.
- Accessible and affordable public transit.
- Cities where the essentials are close enough you can travel on foot (or in wheelchair)
- Cities where it’s reasonable to be able to get from point a to point b without requiring you, yourself, to drive
People get so caught up in the “Walkable” part of the term and like to spout “Walkable cities are abelist because not everyone can walk”.
Bitch. The modern city structure is abelist because not everyone can drive. And classist because not everyone can afford a car and it’s pretty damn impossible to get a job if you don’t have a car.
Walkable cities are cities where people can reasonably get from pointA to pointB without requiring a motor vehicle.
“But fae. Disabled people have issues using the paths in modern cities.” Bitch abled people can barely use the paths in modern cities. That’s kind of the fucking problem.
Also walkable cities have fucking benches. Not only for disabled people. But sometimes you just twist your ankle and need to sit for a moment.
“Put fae. If you have benches, homeless people will sleep on them.”
Then get fucking housing for the homeless. Problem solved. They’ll sleep in their nice warm homes instead of on the benches.

Additional things I’d like for the Walkable Cities:
-Water-Fountains. Just, free, public water-fountains. Maybe also get the kind that has the “for dogs” lower spigot/bowl thing? But definitely water-fountains.
-Public Parks (at least those that reach a certain size) should have Public Restrooms. Again, this just makes life better for everyone.
-Public Restrooms and baby changing stations.

one thing I like about Tumblr is, in 2019 I reblogged a piece of art from 2017 of a book written in 2015 and Yesterday in 2022 someone liked it, and this is how this website is supposed to work, I have art made this week in my queue next to stuff from 2014, 2013, 2012, hell even 2011, sometimes I post 10-11 year old fan art from accounts that haven’t been active since before One Direction broke up. Nothing is ever truly dead and gone on here, you can always dust off an old treasure and say “hey gang look at this!” other social media isn’t set up like that, if you wonder why it feels like The Batman was released 100 years ago, its because corporate media wants you to move on! go to the NEW THING! BUY! etc but hey guess what I have fan art of Battinson being emo in my queue. So if you’re a fan artist, writer, gif maker, or just fan who wants to gush, guess what, here, here we’re still spreading around old art, gif sets and someone will be happy you made something new in the tag
This is it. This is why I love tumblr.

As Goncharov lies bleeding out, his last memory is that of a candescent meeting with Andrey, several decades ago. Both of them use aliases for this - Goncharov introduces himself as Rasmus Lofvgren, and Andrey as Felix Strauss. In long overcoats and felt fedora hats, the two meet at nighttime in a park overlooking the city. Andrey looks young and unburdened, and Goncharov greets him warmly like an old friend. They hug, they laugh, and make small talk, like they’ve been doing it for years and will do so for years more.
Then as their conversation fades, there is a gesture of sudden and unexpected intimacy. The two men still, turn to eachother and Goncharov lights Andrey’s cigarette with the fire from his own. He cradles Andrey’s face with shocking tenderness that speaks of a casual familiarity and Andrey leans into the touch, almost indulgent. There is a moment of tension between them before Andrey looks down, uncharacteristically coy. The camera lingers as they stare at eachother for a few seconds before turning away. As they turn towards the glittering city that will doom them, we fade back to a dying Goncharov.
The nature of the scene is intentionally ambiguous— Andrey has only known Goncharov a few months, so chronologically, it’s out of place. Is it a false memory, a hallucination, or the wish fulfilment of a dying man?
Further examination shows another layer. Gocharov’s chosen alias was that of an actor best known for playing a time traveller, a low-budget sci-fi show whose key theme was defying your destiny. Andrey’s was that of a thespian who was playing a London National Theatre post-modernist production of Odysseus at the time. They are pretending to be other people, who pretend to be other people — actors whose characters escape their tragedy, from stories that defy fate. As if, in telling himself a story where tragic characters can escape, Goncharov puts himself in a story where he, too, can survive.
But the story is already over and nothing can be changed. Goncharov dies a lonely, desolate man, having alienated everyone who cares for him and the last act of tenderness we see him commit never even happened.

i cannot stress enough how much of an impact changing the way you talk to yourself can have on your mental health. swapping out self deprecating jokes and changing unhealthy sentiments like “i hate myself” and “i want to die” to kinder, more forgiving ones like “i need a break” and “i’m trying” can make such a difference to how you view yourself. the things we say to ourselves become a part of our lives and so we deserve to me kinder to ourselves in our heads.

shadow-and-purgatory asked:
What are your thoughts on the Goncharov meme, if I might ask?
tumblr has gotten so good at constructing fandoms completely divorced from any source material that they’ve finally cut out the middleman and just started making shit up
