31 days of Louis. Day 16. Favorite Louis performance.
I love Louis and The Snuts, so the fact that Jack did a duo with Louis was a dream come true for me. They sound incredible together and I hope one day they do a collab.
like you people realize that on a website of mostly people who are gay and/or trans having sex in high school was literally not an option for many of us. i was the only out lesbian at a very small high school in utah where about half my classmates were actively mormon, and i was double ostracized for being butch, and it literally wouldn’t have been possible for me even if i was ready to have sex at that age which i wasn’t. the majority of straight people don’t even have sex in high school. i genuinely think it’s both mean on a very immature level and completely ignorant of reality to make a big deal about.
Black tank tops, the reason we died.

Fans feral and jarred

Uhmmm whose house is this because I’m moving in. I know we’re still in spring but Easter just passed & my brain is set to summer. 😭 this is dream house 101. The higher the ceiling the closer to the gods. & I’m sorry does that surf board have a shower head coming out of it?!
Looking up the numbers on how much it takes to live alone in my area is very disheartening. I mean $53 an hour or over $60,000 annually to afford a 1 bedroom apartment? So everyone has to settle for toxic or awkward living situations just to exist down here wow okay makes a lot more sense now.
so looking at the california hsr, would a state building hsr through force account be built faster since you don't have to contract everything out?
Using force account (i.e, direct hiring) would be faster than contracting, but the most significant difference would likely be that it would be much cheaper (which has an impact on speed, because cost overruns and underfinancing has been an issue for building out the California HSR system) than contracting.
However, my understanding is that the two biggest issues that have been responsible for slowing down the build-out of the California HSR system is:
the difficulty of acquiring the land and right-of-ways needed for the route, due in no small part to opposition from the Union Pacific railroad and local landowners.
extensive litigation from self-described environmentalist anti-development groups abusing the CEQA process to block/death-by-a-thousand-cuts a green project aimed at reducing C02 emissions from automobiles and by encouraging sustainable transit-oriented development over suburban sprawl.
So force account would help, but it would not be a panacea for the difficulties that CAHSR has had to labor under lo these many years.
