I can't fully express how infuriating it is to be in a city where you MUST have a car to get around. I haven't been in a car in a couple weeks and MAN. this is not it.

here is a poem about how i hate cars and why i will never learn how to drive. NOT because im incapable of driving OR scared of driving, but because I have chosen to take my environmental activism to a level that others are not willing to go to.

ANTI CAR FOREVA!!!!!

vroom vroom = doom doom

So we've established that it's fall. Everyone knows it's fall. It's a little brisk outside, everyone has busted out the sweaters and turtlenecks.We all agree that it's fall. so where are the pumpkins. WHERE ARE THE PUMPKINS, CHICAGO??????!!!!!

rev of the engine
pipes
and exhaust
you have your privacy
but at what cost??
my wheels or yours
arent you bored?
of driving five minutes to the
gro-cer-y store????

My last day as ann 18 year old. The best gift ive gotten so far is the opportunity to hear Dr. Dori Tunstall speak about decolonizing design. More people should have been there!!!

It has been over two months since my last entry. The last two months have not been funny at all. What is life.

Life.

That is all I can say.

This song by die lassie singers is the only thing that is getting me through.
