The fender bender. (Downtown version)🚗💥🚕📱✨

Logan: I still don't have a grip on the human emotional spectrum. You're often happy when you should be sad, angry when you should be happy, and texting when you should be driving.

Logan: The latter of which is not an emotion, I know, but it's insane.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Cell phone use, including texting while driving has become the most common distraction. Here's what you should know about accidents caused by texting while driving, and how to file a claim in Georgia. https://atlantaadvocate.com/legal-guides/car-accidents/texting/

A vehicle was located Thursday morning in the river. It was upside down with the wheels up, filled with mud, and the driver-side window was down, Johnson said. The license plate confirmed it to be Leonard's patrol car, according to Johnson. Officials said the landing can be treacherous, especially for those not from the rural area. A woman went into the water at the same location several weeks ago and was rescued and survived, Johnson said. Multiple agencies will investigate how the vehicle ended up in the water. However, Johnson noted that the deputy, a native of New York, appeared to be texting and radioing while driving in a poorly lit area he was unfamiliar with. "We're operating under the theory that it was an accident -- he missed his turn, he wasn't familiar and he was doing other things that may have caused him to go into the water," Johnson said at the Thursday afternoon press briefing.

and it requires a second article to find out about who the woman he drowned is.

The deputy’s name was released shortly after the search began, but for nearly two days, nobody could confirm who the woman in the car’s back seat was. Eventually, the Knox County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed it was Tabitha Smith. According to the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Smith was arrested after Leonard responded to a disturbance call. Officials said Leonard accidentally took the wrong turn and drove into the river. As the cruiser hit the water, she was handcuffed in the back seat and unable to free herself.

“Just Texting” ~ At least she was honest. Some thought drops for those who may need them.

“I’d like to play you another song about suicidal depression. It’s about – if you are a certain type of person – me – . . . uh, you hear about somebody who did something horrible and drastic and you feel bad, but there’s a part of you that goes, ‘what, that’s, now I know, now I recognize my kind, because he did that.’ So this is about a guy who did a terrible thing and he couldn’t live with the memory of it, and so he went and did a worse thing, and it’s called ‘Cry for Judas.’”

- John Darnielle, frontman of the Mountain Goats

Friend is talking to me about the ghosting situation of our mutual friend- saying "these are some of the phrases I drop in the chat when I feel I'm being ghosted"

And wanting to say "no, I don't want to be petty, I just-" when one of the vaguer, one word ones catches my eye and I remember he randomly dropped that in our chat later last year right as I was about to respond to him

I had been out all day, just gotten home and was about to start mass responding to everyone who'd sent me messages that day, and if my memory serves correctly, the group server was popping off, so I made the mistake(?) of responding to that first and in the time between me getting distracted right before responding to him, he had said "damn"

So I asked him "everything alright? Sorry I've been out most of today" and he'd responded "nah, just some headassery on my part" or something of the sort and I never understood it

Until now lmao.

The Many Illustrators of A Tale of Two Cities 2: Rowland Wheelwright

That's right, we're jumping centuries and mediums!

...specifically, from Phiz's engravings for the original 1859 monthly installments to Wheelwright's paintings for this 1925 edition! (warning: in the following, there is some violent imagery, and one image in the third grouping has blood)

As I'd mentioned in the announcement post, these illustrators will be highlighted completely out of chronological order to make it more organic when I continue to find more and more artists' work to add to the queue - so I wanted to start off with a particularly dramatic leap in time (and style!) to give a sense of the sheer variety of art we're going to be looking at here!

This also happens to be one of the sets that I scanned myself - most of these beautiful illustrations haven't anywhere on the internet (by my own intensive research at least!) until now. It's my joy to finally get to share them!

Overall, I want to give my own opinions and takes on the work of each illustrator as little as possible so that everyone can experience it in their own way, but the true beauty in his attention to detail in color, characterization, costuming, composition, and shadow calls for some comment.

This is the work of someone who loved and appreciated both the story itself and the act of illustrating it - I'm grateful to him for bringing these images into existence.

& the standard endnote for all posts in this series:

This post is intended to act as the start of a forum on the given illustrator, so if anyone has anything to add - requests to see certain drawings in higher definition (since Tumblr compresses images), corrections to factual errors, sources for better-quality versions of the illustrations, further reading, fun facts, any questions, or just general commentary - simply do so on this post, be it in a comment/tags or the replies!💫
