#thats the tram line here

[andromedasummer]

thinking about the felt store i dropped into at the mall near my uncles house a month back. god i would love to see more craft and hobby stores in malls, i dont know what it was about that place but it instantly made the mall feel way warmer and nicer (and it was a pretty damn nice mall)

[transformationofmatter]

ive been meaning to do a write up about some of the influences for my map... so i'm going to just ramble for a bit about some metro maps i like!

the biggest influence is the paris RER/metro/tram map. its quite busy and complicated, and its quite amazing. i cant post the whole thing bc its too big but here are some screenshots and you can see it for yourself here.

the look of my transfer stations, buses, and the very large scale of my map is all borrowed from what you can see above.

the RER map does have some problems though, it completely lacks accessibility information (there is a different map for it and I find that kind of bizarre) and there is kind of a really approximate approach to the bus routes (likely just out of necessity--theres a lot of them lol!) which doesnt make as much sense for the kinds of services i'm showing on my map.

the black outlines surrounding multiple stations come from the paris metro map, which is... not really the best map. but I like the increased clarity about the fare situation. below is the paris metro map. i'm also thinking about using a similar system to indicate rail service continues off the map

the boston T map (below) is a great example of a map that becomes increasingly diagrammatic as it gets farther from the center. in reality, the green line "D" branch is by FAR the longest of the branches followed by B, then C, then E

you can see this in my map so far in the bronx. because theres intersecting services (the SBS buses) it cant be quite as diagrammatic as the green line, but its still a lot more so than midtown

i'm not taking much from vignelli style maps, honestly bc i dont think that style really is best for the readability of the map, despite it being really visually attractive. but i am being quite conservative with my corner radii, like the vignelli maps. what i mean is that theres only a few options for radius of semicircular elements--the transit lines all use 6mm radii (some very rare exceptions use 2mm, and theres also some 12mm radius partial circles in places), geographic elements use 6mm and 2mm for small details, and thats basically it. this helps keep the same basic structure of nyc maps that we're more familiar with, rather than the very loose application of curves in the RER map for example which would likely create a very different map.

that is all, thank you for coming to my ted talk

[unidentifiedfuckingthing]

we need words that mean sexy but for autism and not sexual attraction because i feel nothing towards these faceless middle aged guys on the internet, sexually, but oooh listening to people talk about mechanical precision gets me so hot and steamy. do you know what i mean. theres this website for a company that produces incredibly, painfully perfect spheres, and designs for precision machinery that depend on incredibly perfect spheres (you would be surprised how much this is All Of Them) and they have a large blog section explaining how to use spheres, and common misconceptions about the use of spheres in precision, and explaining the proofs behind a kinematic mounting system, which im sure exists 100% so that corporate customers who want precision but dont have an understanding of how to get it and send them stupid emails can be given a swift and decisive "Sure! Here's our literature on the subject:" and they never have to respond to one of those stupid emails with the precious time and effort of a living human on this earth to explain to another white collar lackey why you cant Just make a table with 4 legs thats as precise as a table with 3 legs, Yes it would be 100 times as expensive and still worse, etc. but oh my fucking god there was probably like 6 months of my life that whenever i was bored i would immediately load up that site and just browse again all the blogs id already read about the difference between a maxwell coupling and a kelvin coupling. or why Actually you have to use a pin in a v-groove and not a matching angle. i didnt need to learn them a 10th time i just got so excited hearing it. if you knew me in 2021 you could not escape how much kinematic couplings excited me and how much i needed to tell everyone about it. theres something about these ridiculous and arbitrary things like, for instance, how to grind the diameter of a steel ball within a hundredth of a thousandth of an inch, or shimming runout on a machine, or figuring out how to machine a piece without having to move the piece around so that all the cuts are automatically perfectly referenced to each other, that is so awesome and exciting to me. like its just the most contrived situations, with absolute deathly requirements that its gotten exactly right and NO less, and people thought about it hard enough that they were able to say Actually there are these fundamental principles [of physics, of kinematics, of machine design, of machining technique] that inform every one of these problems anyone will ever have, and by extension of knowing these fundamental principles theres a method for literally every instance of this kind of a problem. you need to position something perfectly, perfectly accurate, and you need to do this repeatably a thousand times without wear, you would think this requires blood sweat and tears and hours of manual tramming. but its a flat, a line, and a sphere. we simplified the entire universe down into the perfect description of the 6 degrees of freedom. its like if you were given one of those nauseating calculus equations the size of a chalkboard and its filled with matrices and shit in it and it simplified down to x + y = 1. its like the screensaver hitting the corner of the screen. its the humanly closest thing achievable in the immutable physics of this world to measurable perfection. it gets me hard in the brain

[marculees]

I missed some tea on the bus today oof my friend just sent me a video of these lads just beating the shit out of each other on the middle of the road and then chasing after each other in their cars. Meanwhile my bus driver just kept beeping, he literally would deck any of them if they tried to do anything to the bus or us inside. I’m glad I wasn’t there. I don’t think I’d be able to keep calm; I’m very sensitive when it comes to stuff like that and violence in general ;-;

[ruthlesslistener]

Not sure if I ever stirred up an actual controversy or if I'm just being paranoid of misinterpretations here, but just a note of clarification here, me saying that PK and WL aren't colonizers doesn't mean that they're exempt from being responsible for some nasty shit they did when establishing their place in Hallownest. Colonization merely a subset of conquering, and while they don't fit the requirements for colonization (the beetles they ruled over were natives, the White Lady seems to have sprouted in Kingdom's Edge due to the abundance of roots there, so she also came from Hallownest, there's no evidence of any attempts to establish colonies in lands outside of the City of Tears/Dirtmouth pipeline [the Deepnest tram doesn't count, thats transit/trade], and the different tribes in the caverns ARE able to establish borders and barter with them, which would NOT happen if they were intent on colonization), they're still responsible for:

-Conquering the Radiance's lands, then turning a good chunk of them into crystal mines (assuming, ofc, that the Crystal Peak was once the home of the Moth Tribe)

-Assimilating their moths into their culture and encouraging them to destroy what they had of their legends; the Seer blames this choice on her ancestors, and there is no proof that it was forceful, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't coerced

-Annexing huge chunks of Greenpath to mould into the Queen's Gardens and Fog Canyon (ofc, this could have been bartered for, but either way the Mosskin were driven back or changed, and what would one elder god be against two younger ones?)

-Getting involved with intertribal politics between the Mantis Tribe and Deepnest

Additionally, this is NOT to say that people cannot interpret what they did as colonization, or to write or produce fanwork with that mindset. Pretty much the worst thing in fandom is when there's a monopolization on people's views of a character, and Hollow Knight lends itself very well to fluid interpretation. I personally tend to default to a more biological/ecological interpretation than sociopolitical myself, because PK having a beef with Radi and WL and Unn fighting for reasources screams 'same niche, different species' competition to me. I'm merely pointing out that the original story of Hallownest appears to be more in line with a vague message about damning the cycle of different powers conquering others and abusing each other rather than anything explicit.

Additionally, I am wary of the concept that claiming that the Pale King and the White Lady are colonizers will downplay the horrors of what the Radiance did to all of the tribes of Hallownest, even those who were politically independent and had no stake in the war between the Gods of Light. There's also the matter of the Void Civilization coming before Hallownest; we don't have much information to definitively prove anything about their fall, but what we DO have seems to point to the Radiance doing the same thing, with the Knight reclaiming their birthright, purpose, and land when they ascend as the Lord of Shades to tear her to shreds, explicitly against their parent's will

So tdlr: yeah I did write up a very long angry post once about PK and WL not being colonizers, but that's only because I'm a stickler for details, not because I think they're innocent. It's like the difference between venom and poison- both will kill you, just in different ways. Also I feel like those who tend to go for the 'PK and WL are colonists' narrative tend to overlook the fact that there was a whole other civilization of people who worshiped a different god who seem to have been totally- or at least mostly- wiped out by the Radiance. And ngl I kind of think those would be the snails bc that rock where you get the Abyss Shriek that can be dreamnailed is full of rocks in the background that look like a fuckton of the snail shaman's charms/spells, + they are the only ones other than vessels to use void magic

So basically no matter how you view it, Radiance = The Pale King = The White Lady in terms of war crimes, genocide, and body count. Unn is just vibing. The Lord of Shades

[vero-niche]

Okay, so my dash is being too-american for me rn. No offense to them being them, but sometimes it's hard to hear my own thoughts over american in my own head. SO… please tell me something about your country,state,culture,city etc. that is unlike the american world.

For me rn it's definately the school lunches - like what do the americans mean that there isn't like laws that make school cafeterias cook "healthy, balanced, nutritious" meals for their children. Where the weakly meal plans have to have certain weight of meat,vegetables etc.? That's baffling. I wasn't always happy eating at school 'cause I am picky eater and like potato salad was unsalty,unfaty mess, but…

If you post this public and someone sees it and they have their own favourite thing .. my askbox is open :) or you can tag me - I will gladly hear anything that will make me feel less like the world is turning into one big american-values-blob :(

Hello friend!!! This is a great idea, lets share some non american things >:D

What comes to mind first is the public transport system in Budapest because its pretty advanced even with EU standards (which is fuckin rare in hungary). Locals loooove to bitch about it but i found out not long ago that if in Paris they are renovating the metro or a tram line stopped working, there are no replacement buses! Thats pretty insane, how are you supposed to get to work/school/etc if nothing comes??

Another thing is that it was so absurd to find out that in suburbs there are no shops n stuff?? Like??? No tiny corner shop where everything is more expensive but the staff knows you by name? Or shady little grocery stores/marketplaces where everything is super cheap but you'd never ask how they got the wares.

Oh and if you have a garden and you dont have at least some trees but more likely veggies or flowers, you are considered weird. Hell, i live in an apartment complex in Budapest and my neighbours are growing veggies/herbs in those bigger kind of flower pots.

This was a nice ask, made me think of some positive stuff around here which is uhh. Hard, given the country's current state 😅 Hope you liked it! 😊

[spideronsilk]

I fucking hate how public transportation isn't more normalized in the US.

Like I'm about to be 25 and don't have a license. I get laughed at or looked down upon because if that but why??

There are places that have all these trains and subways and trams and its all apart of peoples normal, every day life. But here, at least where I live you HAVE TO have a car.

Sure they have a bus system. But where i live it never dips below 100° in the summer and our bus stations are outside with a shade covering SOMETIMES. Sometimes its just a pole with the bus symbol. And people are fucking frowned upon for having to take the bus. Oh you don't have a car? Why?

BECAUSE IM FUCKING POOR. because me and my boyfriend make well above minimum wage but can still barely survive. We have ZERO savings. We have maybe 100 bucks each at the start of each month after rent. Why am I paying $1550 for a two bedroom one bathroom apartment that's literally falling apart. Where our ac was POURING water for over a year that they claimed they couldn't fix. Where our doors look like they were kicked in and then shittily patched up after the old tenant left. But ohh its a LUXURY apartment. We have a stainless steal fridge THATS why its so expensive?!

Oh well that's just how all apartments are now a days.

LITERALLY WHY?

they want money i literally don't have. They're trying to force me to buy a car I can't afford. Drive somewhere that's purposely put on the opposite side of residential areas. All for what?

I have no money to give.

I shouldn't have to sell my fucking soul to be above the poverty line. I shouldn't have to feel guilty for not being able to buy a car. To have safe, affordable living.

Like fuck eveything

The Freedom of Expression Ep 45 - Walking from Kishibojin, Haunted staircase.

00:00 J: Ah, this, this! Akamaru Bakery.

00:20 K: So, as to why we are here..it will be a mystery to everyone I think.

J: Haha

K: Joe just really wanted to eat this bread.

J: Thats right.

K: So, we came here.

J: Yes.

K: Akamaru Bakery.

J: Yep, Akamaru Bakery.

K: Where is this?

J: Its Zōshigaya. Well, Zōshigaya is just up there, but this place probably only locals know about. Its on Tsurumaki Street. This is a very small shopping street, but Akamaru Bakery is here. I found this place by chance before, and it was really good.

T: What did you get?

J: Kaoru?

K: Chicken Nanban

T: I got a hot dog.

J: I got this tuna and egg mix.

K: I wanted to get that, but I thought I shouldn't if you are getting it.

J: Haha, no, no, no, that makes me look bad.

K: Hahah.

J: This is ¥190, right?

T: Its cheap, isn't it?

J: It is cheap!  Ok, lets stand and eat.

T: Yep.

J: Ok, lets go for it. Apologies to the locals, we are not trying to be rude. Its a food report. This kind of bakery is quite rare these days, isn't it? They're all like new, stylish ones now.

K: *eats* Mm.

J: *eats* Mm, tastes good.

K: Yeah, its good.

J: The bread is really soft too.

T: Yeah.

J: I didn't eat before this.

K: If this was in my neighborhood, I would come every day.

J: Absolutely. Ah, delicious. So, this is like an 8 min walk from Zōshigaya station, right? Its a bit of a walk, but you'll be able to find it online if you search for it.

T: Ths is good. Its delicious.

2:25 J: (*At station*) Well now..

K: Where is this?

J: So this is the tram on the Toden-Arakawa line.

T: Its Kishibojinmae station.

K: Ahh, so ??? (*Facing away from camera with mask on...couldn't clearly make out what he said*)

J: Thats it. So, we are gonna move to a different spot from here.

T: Yep, its been all funfunfun before now, but this time we are gonna go looking for some Tokyo mysteries. So, we'll get on this train and go to a certain place.

J: Tokyo Sports is all about mysteries, monsters, and UFOs, right? (*Couldn't really follow the rest of this exchange*)

*They get on, then off the train at the next spot*

3:29 T: The mystery spot that I am gonna introduce is this bridge. Omokage bridge (Omokage=face/visage).

J: It just looks like a regular bridge.

T: Its a really short bridge. Its almost not a bridge. This explains the name (*points to info board*). So, actually, on the otherside of the bridge there used to be the criminal execution center for Zōshigaya.

J: Ahh, so this is not exactly the river Styx, but..

T: Yeh, and they would part from thier family on this side of the bridge, and be taken over to the other side.

J: I see.

T: Its just a theory, but its thought that its called 'Omokage/visage brige', because they left the memory thier faces here. But there is also a history to this brigde. You know the story of 'Yotsuya Kaidan'/The Ghost of Yotsuya?

J: Yep, yep.

T: With Oiwa san..

J: Like 'I curse youuuu'

T: Yeh, yeh, yeh. Do you know the story of Oiwa san?

J: Yeh, I do. Like 'One plate, two plates..'

T: No, thats Sarayashiki, thats a different one. So, what happened was, there was a man, and his wife called Oiwa. The man became annoyed with her, and she was made to drink a poison which scarred her face. Then he forced her to seperate from him. The woman cursed him, saying she would come back as a ghost. This woman Oiwa was nailed to a door post, and thrown in the river to be washed away, there's a scene like that, right?  Its thought that this is the spot she was thrown in the river. So, this story, Yotsuya Kaidan, came about as a Kabuki play after its writer, Tsuruya Nanboku had gathered up a lot of these kind of local  rumors during the Edo era. We don't know if Oiwa san really was washed away here, but we know this kind of thing did happen. Its only a short bridge, but its got this kind of history going back to the Edo era.

J: ???*1

T: Actually, I used to live around here.

J: Ehh? Why in such a frightful place?

T: It was cheap.

J: Is this in Shinjuku ward?

T: No, its in Toshima ward.

J: Oh, Toshima?

T: Just on the verge of Shinjuku.

K: It says Shinjuku here.

T: Yes, but..Oh, the other side is Toshima.

J: Where we are stood now is Shinjuku. Its next to Waseda, right?

T: Should we cross the bridge?

K: Yeah, lets cross it.

6:50 J: The river is pretty, isn't it?

(*Next is short exchange about the sakura leaning into the river, and execution spot over on the other side, which I can't make out clealy due to them all facing away from the mic, and very loud traffic passing simultaneously*)

T: So you see, this place is very historic.

J: It makes a shiver run down your spine when you think of it.....*shudders*. Sorry, its just being in this place.

K: Ok, should we head to the next spot?

J: Yeh, should we go?

K: Its a different place next.

*In the suburbs*

7:46 K: Where is this?

J: Here in Bunkyō Ward, they call this place Nezucchi (*The name of a comedian who is good at tellIng riddles*)

T: Nezucchi?

J: Haha

K: He lost it. haha

J: Sorry, Im embarrassed now, haha. Well, actually, they call this area Yanasen/谷根千, which is the neighborhoods of Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi together, and we are in Nezu today. Its a very quiet surburban area, but this place was voted for by a listener, or rather a user, as a good mystery spot. We recieved this email, so Kaoru could you read it out?

K: (*reading*) Its from 'Yasubeniisann'. It says, 'This is quite famous, but in Nezu there is a haunted staircase. When you go up the stairs there are 40 steps, but going down, there are only 39'....Um..did..

J: We already spilled the mystery.

T: Yeah.

J: Well, we already spilled the mystery , but yes, this is what we are going to see. A mysterious set of stairs. Lets go.

8:49 K: (*approaching the stairs*) Right up to the top, yeah? Not half way?

J: Yeah, I think right up to the top.

K: Both sides are the same, right?

J: Seems like it. Which side is the way up?

K: Eh? You could go up either side, right?

T: You mean like on an escalator where one side is up and one side is down.

J: Should we try counting the steps?

K: You're too eager, haha.

T: Which side should we do, the right side?

J: No, lets go with the left side.

T: Like in Kantō.

J: Yep, Kantō style.

K: Ok, Im gonna start.

J: Ok...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7....

9:57 K: (*reaching the top of the staircase*) 39 steps.

J: 39? Yep I got 39 too. And next, if we go down..

T: On that side?

K: Will it be 39?

(*They walk downstairs *)

K: (*Reaching the bottom*) Eh?

T: Wasn't that 40?

K: I got 39.

T: Huh?

J: Huh?! I got 39. You got 40?

T: Yeah, I got 40.

J: Eh?! Hang on, whats going on?

10:55 K: (*Re-reading the email*) It says there are 40 steps going up.

J: 40 going up?

K: Are they including this? (*points to first concrete step on level with the ground*)

J: Oh, is that it?

K: If they are including this..

J: Yeah, if thats included, then..

T: I see.

K: I'll try starting from this. (*starts going up*)

J: Maybe you're supposed to go up the other side.. I can hear you.

T: Im out of breath..

J: Oh, you're carrying the bag..

T: Its embarrassing, im out of breath.

J: Its this step, this one.

11:36 K: (*Gets to top of stairs*) Ah, I see.

J: (*Getting to top*) 40!

T: (*Starting from the bottom*) This is the first step, yeh? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9....

J: Haha

T: Then across?

J: No, no, diagonally.

T:...38, 39, 40.

K: You included the very first step at the bottom, right?

T: Yes...huh?

K: Huh? Really? How come only I'm different?

12:30 T: (*Going down*) This is the first one. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6....... ....... 37, 38, 39, and this is 40.

K: You're not counting this one, are you? (*To J*) This one is ???*2

J: Ahh, thats the difference.

13:08 J: Do we count this one? Thats the problem. According to the email, there are 40 steps going up, and 39 going down.

K: Its like can you count this as 1..?

J: Yeah, thats it.

K: Im not sure.

T: Its raised by about 5cm.

K: Well, I mean...we'll digest that bread easily.

J: Haha, yeah, we can definitely say we exercised today.

T: Its been quite tough for the staff doing the filming.

J: Yeah, haha. While we were going up one by one, they were going up and down each time. But what is our verdict about this?

K: Was is right? If this is the first step?

J: Im pretty intrigued about this.

T: Well, let's give our answer here. To conclude.

J: As a last word?

T: Yeah.

J: Well, it depends on whether or not you count this as the first step. If you do count it, then there is 40 steps going up. But if you look over here, this side is barely elevated from the ground at all. So you end up taking the second level as the first step.

K: Yeah.

J: Thats it right? And back over here, the first step is more elevated, so you would make that number 1.(*Starts climbing*).1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

K: (*To T*) Ok, shall we go?

T: Yep, lets go. Bye Joe.... ... ... That was fun.

K: Yeh, it was. (*Too windy to make out what they are saying*)

T: I wonder if Joe is still doing it.

15:00 J: (*Coming downstairs*) They're not here? They left me. Hello? You two? What? There's no one here.

Takabayashi: That was 39.

J: Was it 39? So, yes, that means going up is 40 steps, and coming down is 39 steps. The  others have already left, so if you'd like to try this, its in Nezu...the haunted staircase. Please come and have a go, get some exercise.

15:31 T: He didn't call out for us to wait, right? haha....... ... ... Haha, here he is.

J: ??? (*No idea what he means here*)

T: You didn't realise we'd gone?

J: No, I didn't. When I came down there was no-one there, so it was a bit lonely. I closed the segment by myself.

T, K: Hahaha

T: How about this haunted staircase?

J: What do you think, Kaoru?

K: There was no ghost.

J: There wasn't, was there.

K: Its more like a mistaken staircase.

J: Yeah.

T: Ah, I see. Haha. To be accurate, the mistaken first step.

J: Yeah. When you go up, the fist step on one side looks as if its slightly elevated, so..

T: Yeah. We could go looking for other mysteries like this.

J: Yeah, lets solve them all!

K: So it seems as if we can use this one then.

J: Ah, thats good! We didnt waste our effort. So, if anyone knows any other mysteries that we could solve..?

K: Yeh, anything is ok, just let us know.

J: We'll solve them.

K: Ok, well, we can finish here. Please subscribe. Thank you very much.

OH MY GOD WHERE IS IT i cant find it but the bust of his torso where the tongue is out is so SoFTTHANK UUUU

[stillwooozy]

im so happy be back in my apt it makes me feel guilty cuz i like being there for my siblings but

even post heart attack and covid and almost-death my mom is MEAN to me. everything i fcking do is wrong, and if ONLY i listened to her.

im a fucking train wreck, but im trying, and im functional. Idk i’ve learned to be proud of myself

I left at like 5am to “beat traffic” but rly i just needed to leave

My 12 yr old brother said he “didnt really love AoT & isnt invested in s4” but he’s giving Death Note a try so you know what. stfu.

A few hrs after i got back my sister called crying about my mom just being difficult to her. And i have problems w/ my sister but also.... come on. mom jfc. pretend to have an emotional iq for a second. My sister has always had a good relationship w/ my mom up until now. But i guess menopausal moms and their 19 yr old daughters dont get a long.

I have good moments w/ my mom. when she came home we were both got high on trams and weed & my sister was sober but hanging w/ us. My brothers were entertaining themselves and my dad was gone (dad and mom cannot be in the same vicinity of eachother, they legally married, but jfc they even live apart. it is hell when they are together) and it was so fun. i was making jokes (that i kinda regret because it was tmi) about the men i’ve hooked up w/ in the apt next door, and telling her about the “straight dads” down her residential block that are “discrete” on grindr. She thought it was hilarious. My sister allowed me to swipe for her on tindr & talk to guys and let me say - straight men really do suck. there was like 1 that was attractive & seemed to have a good personality & didnt want sex asap. & i think my sister is very pretty so she matched w/ a good amount of people. ANYWAYS straight guys either have 0 idea how to converse and/or just want to fuck right away. I mean those are grindr-gays, but tindr-gays arent looking for that - and if they are it obvious so u just swipe left if not interested in a hookup. I guess there isnt a straight-grindr but there should be. Anyways my mom was telling me stories about shrooming in college and when she hiked the TMB & hitchhiked around europe for 2 yrs, met my dad but forgot about him, and then met him in the US 2 yrs later. It was interesting, and she wasnt judging me & we were actually laughing. Ik its the drugs and that is sad. Ik she is “mentally ill” in some manner too, but i can’t control her lack of self awareness, all i can control is myself. And that is hard when i come from a long line of schizos & bpd & even a probably-APD! some diagnosed, some u just loook at and go “yea they are batshit” i mean... i also come from a family is severly traumatized ppl, either losing everything in ww2 and/or the whole israeli conflict. like jfc i do feel bad. fleeing europe to israel cuz no one else will take u, and then fighting for ur safety & really no other choice, and then finally ur offspring move to america and canada. my paternal grandpa is literally the sole survivor in his family of ww2, i mean he remembers nothing, he was the youngest and shipped off to America to live w/ a branch of the family that came a while earlier cuz they were offered business or something idk.

Im rly on too many stims. And yet. I am posting in my ~diary~. i get to work tomorrow and im actually happy cuz i like the research. although im having like.. nothing. u think grads are paid horribly (they are)?? Undergrads have to be groveling at the feet of ppl to get any kind of paid internship. i mean i had experience before cuz i did unpaid research for 2 semesters in another lab. My hours, when im not impromtu fleeing cuz my mom may die, are more than 40+ a week. i mean i have enough to pay rent and thats about it :/ as long as im not in debt im gucci. i stockpile on-sale dog food and im fine living off beans and rice so were good for a while. I have crypto that is a backup but that is either used for drugs and as an “investment”.

like i cant rly get a traditional 9-5 retail job while working in this lab. while also having full-time classes. i was doing lab work 20 ish hrs a week (unpaid ofc), managing my friends band/booking shows/promotating & getting a fair chunk from that, walking a neighbors dog 3 times a week but honestly that took 20 mins of my day & was almost a free $45 dollars a week cuz a just walked her w/ my own dogs, + full time school and.... pre-covid, i was getting into the groove of college & while not making a bunch - i was comfortable for being a 20yr old scumbag? i mean i was working my ass off for my friend but i enjoyed it and was optimistic as hell. i didnt have to cut myself off fully from the song revenue but honestly that was unusual (to my knowledge) for an indie band at all, but i accepted it ofc until covid. my best friend spiraled and 2 of the bandmates lost their jobs and like. their passive income was tiny so why tf should i take from it? shows & selling merch at said shows (for us) made the most. online merch is eh & i wont take a cut until after covid. Plus they are on hiatus and any local “hype” that was beginning to build is long dead cuz they are probably long dead. not high enough to give a shout out to my 2.5 followers cuz my identity will not be exposed hehehehe. i mean if someone rly wanted to u could figure out thru all my info dumping of my personal life on here but eh, pls dont. this is my fancy lil diary where i spew aboslute nonsense & show off how fast i can type when i type before i finish any type of concise thought in my head

Touring the Central & District Lines

After attending a TV recording of Child Genius, Emma and I decided to try and tick off a few more stations together.  Our Targets for the way of the was towards West London on the Central and District Lines.  Our Travel Adventure began at Holland Park station.

Shepherd’s Bush was the second of the day.  Good if you fancy visiting loads of posh shops at the more middle class of the two Westfields.  We don’t have the disposable income to shop here so soon headed back underground.

An awesome thing about Shepherd’s Bush is that if you go to the Eastern end of the platforms you can stand down the end and see down both platform, it’s especially cool if you get a training coming on both platforms at the same time!

White City was next, we used to use this a fair bit when going to see TV recording at the old BBC Television Centre before these closed.

East Acton was next, there wasn’t too much of note here... It's next to Wormwood Scrubs Prison, and I used this station a few times when I used to work at Imperial College Union and visit Hammersmith Hospital.

We didn’t have particularly much to say about North Acton either...  We did have a nice walk around the block as the stations had two main paths out.  The Central Line does split at this Station, so we had to make sure we got on a train heading down the correct branch.

West Acton had a nice looking station building.  It’s currently a Grade II listed building designed by Brian Lewis of the Great Western Railway and opened in 1940.

The Central Line portion of the day’s station ended at Ealing Broadway.  Although not a station of us use, Emma knew the area reasonably well as she’s driven a Rail Replacement Bus around here a few times!  We a had a nice explore of the Town Centre and the Broadway before heading back to the station.  We continued the adventure this time using the District Line.

Our first District Line station of the day was Ealing Common. I liked that this was a simple station with just two platforms, served by both Piccadilly and District Line trains sharing platform.  Many other stations separate the Deep Level and Sub Surface trains onto different platforms.  It’s amusing seeing the different sized training coming through

The final Acton station of the day was >Acton Town.  We’ve been here a few times to visit the Museum Depot.  You can just about see it in the background of the Photo.

Chiswick Park was quite busy as we exited for a quick look around, I think most people were headed to the Magic Lantern Festival at Chiswick House.  An random fact from this station Emma noticed was right outside the station.  An Enviro 400 bus would fit under it, but a Wright Gemini 2 wouldn’t.  Two of the buses she drives most often.

As we got to Turnham Green the sun was starting to set, our next train was fairly soon so didn’t get a chance to get a decent photo.  We headed out the station but there wasn’t too much of note.  We headed back in and to a different platform as we were going to go back in the other direction onto the Richmond branch of the District Line.

The first station on this branch was Gunnersbury. A station shared with the London Overground.  We’re not counting London Overground, DLR, Tram or TFL Rail/Crossrail stations during this challenge, but maybe thats something for 2018 eh?

Kew Gardens was our penultimate station, home to it’s namesake, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Notably Kew seemed to be having some issues with their info screens... 730 minutes?!?

We made it to our final station of the day at Richmond.  Light was all but gone, making it hard to get a decent photo without the glare but we just about managed.

We took the Overground home from here.  This has been the most stations visited in a day, and if all days go like this, it shouldn’t be too hard to get all 270!

A bonus station for Emma!  She wasn’t with me last week when I came to Highbury & Islington, but she was able to tick it off today!

14 new Stations visited, 15 for Emma, bring my total to 51! Thats 19% of the 270 visited.

To that recreational angling end, Beijing has come up with the craziest of ideas: a map that it circulates widely of the Asia-Pacific that has a nine or ten-dash line carved into it.

Such a dream could morph into a nightmare as America has consistently challenged such claims, stating that seas and oceans must remain part of the "global commons" or a common space for all nations.

The U.S. destroyer travels within eight miles of Woody Island, one of China's most important new bases. Beijing is not amused and was ready for this. Chinese satellites detected the course of the vessel and China dispatches what appears to be 25 fishing vessels. But in reality, these ships are part of the country's maritime militia, thousands of non-naval vessels that Beijing uses to press its claims in the area. Many of these so-called fishing ships have massively reinforced hulls for ramming, their fuel is subsidized by the Chinese government for long-distance travel as well as guided by Chinese-based GPS systems provided by Beijing. The ships are ordered to continually cut in front of the U.S. destroyer, a game of near chicken, all to get the ship to turn around and leave the area.

 those are great if youre three

 and artificial flowers

  oh those just get me psychotic

yeah me too

 bent stingers pointless pollination

 bees must hate those fake things

for it a little bit

  this lawsuits a pretty big deal

i guess

 you sure you want to go through with it?

 am i sure? when im done with

the humans they wont be able

 to say "honey im home"

without paying a royalty

 its an incredible scene

here in downtown manhattan

 where the world anxiously waits

because for the first time in history

 we will hear for ourselves

if a honeybee can actually speak

 what have we gotten into here barry?

 its pretty big isnt it?

 i cant believe how many humans

dont work during the day

 you think billiondollar multinational

food companies have good lawyers?

 everybody needs to stay

behind the barricade

  whats the matter?

 well if it isnt the bee team

 you boys work on this?

 all rise the honorable

judge bumbleton presiding

 all right oase number 4475

 superior oourt of new york

barry bee benson v the honey industry

 is now in session

 mr montgomery youre representing

the five food companies collectively?

 a privilege

 mr benson youre representing

all the bees of the world?

 im kidding yes your honor

were ready to proceed

 mr montgomery

your opening statement please

 ladies and gentlemen of the jury

 my grandmother was a simple woman

 born on a farm she believed

it was mans divine right

 to benefit from the bounty

of nature god put before us

 if we lived in the topsyturvy world

mr benson imagines

 just think of what would it mean

 i would have to negotiate

with the silkworm

 for the elastic in my britches

 talking bee

 how do we know this isnt some sort of

 holographic motionpicturecapture

hollywood wizardry?

 they could be using laser beams

 robotics ventriloquism

oloning for all we know

 he could be on steroids

 mr benson?

 ladies and gentlemen

theres no trickery here

 im just an ordinary bee

honeys pretty important to me

 its important to all bees

we invented it

 we make it and we protect it

with our lives

 unfortunately there are

some people in this room

 who think they can take it from us

 cause were the little guys

im hoping that after this is all over

 youll see how by taking our honey

you not only take everything we have

 but everything we are

 i wish hed dress like that

all the time so nice

 oall your first witness

 so mr klauss vanderhayden

of honey farms big company you have

 i suppose so

 i see you also own

honeyburton and honron

 yes they provide beekeepers

for our farms

 beekeeper i find that

to be a very disturbing term

 i dont imagine you employ

any beefreeers do you?

  no

i couldnt hear you

  no

no

 because you dont free bees

you keep bees not only that

 it seems you thought a bear would be

an appropriate image for a jar of honey

 theyre very lovable creatures

 yogi bear fozzie bear buildabear

 you mean like this?

 bears kill bees

 howd you like his head crashing

through your living room?

 biting into your couch

spitting out your throw pillows

 ok thats enough take him away

 so mr sting thank you for being here

your name intrigues me

  where have i heard it before?

i was with a band called the police

 but youve never been

a police officer have you?

 no i havent

 no you havent and so here

we have yet another example

 of bee culture casually

stolen by a human

 for nothing more than

a pranceabout stage name

 oh please

 have you ever been stung mr sting?

 because im feeling

a little stung sting

 or should i say mr gordon m sumner

 thats not his real name? you idiots

 mr liotta first

belated congratulations on

 your emmy win for a guest spot

on er in 2005

 thank you thank you

 i see from your resume

that youre devilishly handsome

 with a churning inner turmoil

thats ready to blow

 i enjoy what i do is that a crime?

 not yet it isnt but is this

what its come to for you?

 exploiting tiny helpless bees

so you dont

 have to rehearse

your part and learn your lines sir?

 watch it benson

i could blow right now

 this isnt a goodfella

this is a badfella

 why doesnt someone just step on

this creep and we can all go home?

  order in this court

youre all thinking it

 order order i say

  say it

mr liotta please sit down

 i think it was awfully nice

of that bear to pitch in like that

 i think the jurys on our side

 are we doing everything right legally?

 im a florist

 right well heres to a great team

 to a great team

 well hello

  ken

hello

 i didnt think you were coming

 no i was just late

i tried to call but the battery

 i didnt want all this to go to waste

so i called barry luckily he was free

 oh that was lucky

 theres a little left

i could heat it up

 yeah heat it up sure whatever

 so i hear youre quite a tennis player

 im not much for the game myself

the balls a little grabby

 thats where i usually sit

right there

 ken barry was looking at your resume

 and he agreed with me that eating with

chopsticks isnt really a special skill

 you think i dont see what youre doing?

 i know how hard it is to find

the rightjob we have that in common

 do we?

 bees have 100 percent employment

but we do jobs like taking the crud out

 thats just what

i was thinking about doing

 ken i let barry borrow your razor

for his fuzz i hope that was all right

 im going to drain the old stinger

 yeah you do that

 look at that

 you know ive just about had it

 with your little mind games

  whats that?

italian vogue

 mamma mia thats a lot of pages

 no but there are other things bugging

me in life and youre one of them

 fine talking bees no yogurt night

 my nerves are fried from riding

on this emotional roller coaster

 goodbye ken

 and for your information

 i prefer sugarfree artificial

sweeteners made by man

 i always felt there was some kind

of barrier between ken and me

 layton youve

gotta weave some magic

 with this jury

 it doesnt matter what matters is

youre alive you could have died

 id be better off dead look at me

 they got it from the cafeteria

downstairs in a tuna sandwich

 look theres

a little celery still on it

 what was it like to sting someone?

 i cant explain it it was all

 all adrenaline and then

and then ecstasy

 all right

 you think it was all a trap?

 of course im sorry

i flew us right into this

 what were we thinking? look at us were

just a couple of bugs in this world

 what will the humans do to us

if they win?

 i dont know

 i hear they put the roaches in motels

that doesnt sound so bad

 adam they check in

but they dont check out

 oh my

 oould you get a nurse

to close that window?

  why?

the smoke

 bees dont smoke

 right bees dont smoke

 bees dont smoke

but some bees are smoking

 thats it thats our case

 it is? its not over?

 get dressed ive gotta go somewhere

 get back to the court and stall

stall any way you can

 and assuming youve done step correctly youre ready for the tub

 mr flayman

 yes? yes your honor

 where is the rest of your team?

 well your honor its interesting

 bees are trained to fly haphazardly

 and as a result

we dont make very good time

 i actually heard a funny story about

 your honor

havent these ridiculous bugs

 taken up enough

of this courts valuable time?

 how much longer will we allow

these absurd shenanigans to go on?

 they have presented no compelling

evidence to support their charges

 against my clients

who run legitimate businesses

 i move for a complete dismissal

of this entire case

 mr flayman im afraid im going

 to have to consider

mr montgomerys motion

 but you cant we have a terrific case

 where is your proof?

where is the evidence?

 show me the smoking gun

 hold it your honor

you want a smoking gun?

 here is your smoking gun

 what is that?

 its a bee smoker

 what this?

this harmless little contraption?

 this couldnt hurt a fly

let alone a bee

 look at what has happened

 to bees who have never been asked

"smoking or non?"

 is this what nature intended for us?

 to be forcibly addicted

to smoke machines

 and manmade wooden slat work camps?

 living out our lives as honey slaves

to the white man?

  what are we gonna do?

hes playing the species card

 ladies and gentlemen please

free these bees

 free the bees free the bees

 free the bees

 free the bees free the bees

 the court finds in favor of the bees

 vanessa we won

 i knew you could do it highfive

 sorry

 im ok you know what this means?

 all the honey

will finally belong to the bees

 now we wont have

to work so hard all the time

 this is an unholy perversion

of the balance of nature benson

 youll regret this

 barry how much honey is out there?

 all right one at a time

 barry who are you wearing?

 my sweater is ralph lauren

and i have no pants

  what if montgomerys right?

what do you mean?

 weve been living the bee way

a long time 27 million years

 oongratulations on your victory

what will you demand as a settlement?

 first well demand a complete shutdown

of all bee work camps

 then we want back the honey

that was ours to begin with

 every last drop

 we demand an end to the glorification

of the bear as anything more

 than a filthy smelly

badbreath stink machine

 were all aware

of what they do in the woods

 wait for my signal

 take him out

 hell have nauseous

for a few hours then hell be fine

 and we will no longer tolerate

beenegative nicknames

 but its just a pranceabout stage name

 unnecessary inclusion of honey

in bogus health products

 and ladeeda human

teatime snack garnishments

 oant breathe

 bring it in boys

 hold it right there good

 tap it

 mr buzzwell we just passed three cups

and theres gallons more coming

  i think we need to shut down

shut down? weve never shut down

 shut down honey production

 stop making honey

 turn your key sir

 what do we do now?

 oannonball

 were shutting honey production

 mission abort

 aborting pollination and nectar detail

returning to base

 adam you wouldnt believe

how much honey was out there

 oh yeah?

 whats going on? where is everybody?

  are they out celebrating?

theyre home

 they dont know what to do

laying out sleeping in

 i heard your uncle oarl was on his way

to san antonio with a cricket

 at least we got our honey back

 sometimes i think so what if humans

liked our honey? who wouldnt?

 its the greatest thing in the world

i was excited to be part of making it

 this was my new desk this was my

new job i wanted to do it really well

 and now

 now i cant

 i dont understand

why theyre not happy

 i thought their lives would be better

 theyre doing nothing its amazing

honey really changes people

 you dont have any idea

whats going on do you?

  what did you want to show me?

this

 what happened here?

 that is not the half of it

 oh no oh my

 theyre all wilting

 doesnt look very good does it?

 no

 and whose fault do you think that is?

 you know im gonna guess bees

 bees?

 specifically me

 i didnt think bees not needing to make

honey would affect all these things

 its notjust flowers

fruits vegetables they all need bees

 thats our whole sat test right there

 take away produce that affects

the entire animal kingdom

 and then of course

 the human species?

 so if theres no more pollination

 it could all just go south here

couldnt it?

 i know this is also partly my fault

 how about a suicide pact?

 how do we do it?

  ill sting you you step on me

thatjust kills you twice

 right right

 listen barry

sorry but i gotta get going

 i had to open my mouth and talk

 vanessa?

 vanessa? why are you leaving?

where are you going?

 to the final tournament of roses parade

in pasadena

 theyve moved it to this weekend

because all the flowers are dying

 its the last chance

 yes it kind of is

 ive ruined the planet

i wanted to help you

 with the flower shop

 i thought maybe you were remodeling

 but i have another idea and its

greater than my previous ideas combined

 i dont want to hear it

the roses have the pollen

 i know every bee plant

and flower bud in this park

the pea?

 it goes under the mattresses

  not in this fairy tale sweetheart

im getting the marshal

 you do that

this whole parade is a fiasco

 lets see what this babyll do

 hey what are you doing?

 then all we do

is blend in with traffic

 without arousing suspicion

 once at the airport

theres no stopping us

 stop security

  you and your insect pack your float?

yes

 has it been

in your possession the entire time?

 would you remove your shoes?

 wheres the pilot?

 hes unconscious

and so is the copilot

 not good does anyone onboard

have flight experience?

 as a matter of fact there is

  whos that?

barry benson

 from the honey trial? oh great

 vanessa this is nothing more

than a big metal bee

 its got giant wings huge engines

 i cant fly a plane

  why not? isnt john travolta a pilot?

yes

 how hard could it be?

 wait barry

were headed into some lightning

 this is bob bumble we have some

latebreaking news from jfk airport

 where a suspenseful scene

is developing

 barry benson

fresh from his legal victory

 thats barry

 is attempting to land a plane

loaded with people flowers

 and an incapacitated flight crew

 flowers?

 we have a storm in the area

and two individuals at the controls

 with absolutely no flight experience

 just a minute

theres a bee on that plane

 im quite familiar with mr benson

and his noaccount compadres

 theyve done enough damage

 but isnt he your only hope?

 technically a bee

shouldnt be able to fly at all

 their wings are too small

 havent we heard this a million times?

 "the surface area of the wings

and body mass make no sense"

  get this on the air

got it

  stand by

were going live

 the way we work may be a mystery to you

 making honey takes a lot of bees

doing a lot of small jobs

 but let me tell you about a small job

 if you do it well

it makes a big difference

 more than we realized

to us to everyone

 thats why i want to get bees

back to working together

 thats the bee way

 we get behind a fellow

  black and yellow

 so it turns out i cannot fly a plane

behind this fellow move it out

 move out

 our only chance is if i do what id do

you copy me with the wings of the plane

 dont have to yell

 im not yelling

 its very hard to concentrate

with that panicky tone in your voice

 its not a tone im panicking

 i cant do this

 vanessa pull yourself together

you have to snap out of it

 you snap out of it

 you snap out of it

  you snap out of it
