yall know that post with all of those absolutely stunning crochet flowers? well i just bought a pattern from the shop those are from and Good Fucking Lord.
I was expecting a like a Chart or two, maybe some written instructions. not Seventy Seven full color pages for One type of rose.
also quick faq below the cut bc idk, supporting small businesses ran by WOC is important and this lady is rad. I just genuinely love her products and want more people to know about them.

i hope the next spaceship elon musk sends out goes putputput in midair and stalls out and goes back down to earth and pushes him into the soil so far down nobody can haer him talk and he gets no signal and he is alone and in the dirt forever. like this. And then the earth will close quietly around him and a beautiful daisy pops up the next day and nobody can remember nor wants to remember the person underneath
Ngl I hate golf and I’m all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you’re just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.
Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called “Links” courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.
It wasn’t originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn’t exist.
wild how you can meet someone and never see them again, and that version of you is crystallized in their mind forever. you’ve lived a whole life since then that they don’t know about.
I’m choosing to think of this as incredibly funny instead of gut wrenching. cause the other day I asked my mom if she remembered this one cousin from my dad’s side of the family and she was like “oh you mean that bitch that CHEATED at chutes and ladders?? 🤨😤”
it’s been decades and she’s a lawyer now and has teenage children. but none of that matters. she will always have cheated at chutes and ladders
My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry
Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?
If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.
Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.
I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians
If the tracked area is for trams/streetcars only, may I recommend that you make it green track?
Not only does it add much needed greenery to public spaces, but it also reduces heat at street level, reduces the running noise of trams and dramatically improves water drainage at street level. It even goes as far as reducing the damage to the tracks caused by the material expanding and buckling in high heat by simply keeping the rails cooler and better displacing heat.
It doesn’t even have to be grass! Different species of plant, local species or hardier, low-maintenance species can be used, and furthermore, it tends to reduce maintenance costs of the tracks, as soil is easier to dig up than concrete or tarmac, and so the tracks can be accessed and worked on easier.
Obviously, if you want the street to be able to accept buses along with trams/streetcars, or other rubber-tyred vehicles, then a hard surface is necessary, but if it’s light rail only, then green track gets my vote.
Already made the edit, I hope you enjoy the green tracks and their flowers. This image is very green
Redoing the color of the bike path to make the street less fucking green
I love the idea of green tracks, but in this case they are not a good choice:
You still need the possibility for rubber based vehicles like Fire Cars or Ambulances to pass the streets.
You can’t just put them on tracks because they need to be as mobile as possible to allow maximum efficency.
Okay removing the grass due to firecodes
Urbanism pride flag lol
we still need green so maybe put flowerpots in the middle of the sidewalk? Like rectangular ones that only take up maybe a fifth of the sidewalk width, and their intermittent, maybe one between every other set of trees.
The street planters have come in
Honestly if you want some good green space you should consider bioswales between the bike facilities and the “street”, which would help replace some of the lost drainage/filtration function from de-greening the track
The bios have been swaled

@puddlebrigade Okay the tables have been moved and reduced to be more accessible and some planters have been moved

“Choosing not to work is morally wrong. Being too disabled to work is fine though.”
Okay, now how do you dictate who is disabled enough not to work? This is a major part of how systemic ableism happens.
Think for a second.
Think.
90% of disabilities are invisible. Those with power able to determine if we’re fucked up enough to be unable to work are often ableists. They rarely give a flying fuck about us and would rather we were no longer a “burden” in order to make space for someone willing and able to work.
Landlords are evil, we know this, but how tf can you look at someone and decide they’re opting to just not work? Do you consider the retired to be lazy because they’re not working? My disabilities ate invisible until they’re not, and it took going to court in order to get on SSDI. Because of dumbfuck ableists like you, I have to deal with other dumbfuck ableists telling me I’m evil/lazy/faking it and therefore I’m the evil category.
Kindly take a few seats and sit your dumbass down. You’re making an annoying fool of yourself with this noise.
