It's kind of tragic how homophobia affects insecure men.
Like sometimes they want to experiment with a bit of anal and instead of just buying a sex toy and some lube like a normal person, they instead shove random objects up their ass that inevitably get stuck and then they try to get them out by themselves which makes things worse and then they lie to doctors about it and like this all leads to all kinds of extra complications like internal damage, risk of infections, bleeding, the fall of Yugoslavia, etc.
Come on guys, just buy a dildo. It's way safer and it leads to way fewer problems.
Have you ever found yourself thinking, "You know what I wish there was fanfiction of? 1948 political protest song (Charlie on the) M.T.A., popularized by the Kingston Trio, now unofficial Boston anthem and the somewhat sinister backstory behind their public transit cards' mascot!" No? Well, someone in the 2023 Yuletide exchange did!
And it wasn't even my assignment but I could not stop thinking about it, so check out 'Neath the Streets Of Boston on ao3 for 2k of trains, literary references, and a sad little New England cryptid.
One of my biggest fears when it comes to using a mobility aid. I look able-bodied, but bet your ass if I stand for more than 10 minutes without it, I'll be in so much pain, nauseous, and probably will faint.
I really think they need to start teaching kids in schools that most blind people can see a little bit, most deaf people can hear a little bit, and most wheelchair users can walk a little bit. And they are still disabled.
Who knew that metro systems that have multiple lines per stop are greatly efficient. This is how good rail is made. Doesn't matter if its a subway or regional rail.
Urban Design Concept of the Day
Redundancy in Transit
Redundancy is a key element to good transit design, always make sure that there are multiple ways to get between locations in a city. if there is only one way to get between two locations, then there is an exponentially higher number of points of failure on a system and it is harder to get between locations as there are fewer options, overallit makes transit less appealing as a method to move about in a city. This is why things like ring lines are so important to the design of transit systems. The lack of redundancy and interconnectivity in our transit systems is why American transit systems lag behind European and East Asian Cities in terms of ridership
