Was the body dead when abandoned? Was the body abandoned? By whom had it been abandoned? It's Last Word Wednesday.

#🐉#the silt verses #VAL thesiltverses #last word wednesday #jart #this one hit the 'ran out of time before i could do anything really interesting with it' wall but its fine #the aim of last word wednesday is to have fun drawing my girl and learn. clenching my fists until my palms bleed.#i originally sketched the prayer marks being on her lower abdomen instead of her arm #because it tied them more directly to the themes of denial of bodily autonomy and motherhood in both the podcast and VALs character arc #but i couldnt get that to look right and i didnt feel comfortable with the implications there if i couldnt execute them to my satisfaction #so i guess thatll be an idea for another time #OH and the caption is referencing 'death (births and death registration act 1953)' by harold pinter #just in case anyone thought i came up with it myself. i will not accept stolen valour.

6 Tips for Crossing the Road

Look both ways

The road is for cars.

Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none.

Use designated crosswalks

The road is for cars.

So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk.

Cross at the light

The road is for cars.

There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above.

Leash your pets

The road is for cars.

Obviously.

To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.

Look out for road kill

The road is for cars.

And no one was there to leash the deer.

Or the raccoon.

Or the cat.

Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill?

Remember these tips

The road is for cars.

Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between.

Unfortunately, you are not a car.

You are an animal.

You are in-between.

So remember to look both ways.
