@Cyborgneticz it will be hilarious if we end up on the same train haha

@Cyborgneticz when the pandemic is over* I think I’m going to take the Crescent down to Louisiana again to visit my folks — it’s a long ass ride but it’ll be fun

Plus its probably easier than trying to take my meds & shit thru airport security

@Cyborgneticz right??? I mean I’d rather not have like six different transit cards in my wallet sometimes 😆 but I honestly love taking the bus/train places & it’s so cheap

Even the more pricy stuff like Amtrak NER still usually comes out ahead of the equivalent gas + wear & tear + parking fees

@Cyborgneticz yeah theres all these students who buy cars *and* pay for insurance & gas and then on top of all that shell out $$$ for a parking pass on campus? I want to say their parents must be loaded but i’ve seen the kind of loans some of them took out….

Glad I never had to deal with that shite

@Cyborgneticz yeah i’m done with it

@Cyborgneticz we have to tear up all the tracks & dump all our money into road infrastructure because America runs on gasoline 🙄

@Cyborgneticz yeah same — i’ve never had a drivers license, almost certainly never will (my diagnoses are borderline where its not medically advised but it would be legal to get one)

It’s been a pain in the ass at times, and I’m v grateful that the east coast generally has above average public transport by US standards

But also car owners beliefs about the necessity of cars is such a self fulfilling prophecy & it frustrates me so much

@Cyborgneticz love thinking about the ‘privilege’ of being a non-driver as I cross a six lane freeway to get my disabled ass to the bus stop on the other side

@Cyborgneticz oh mood

@Cyborgneticz snow day!

@Cyborgneticz the only fraud i’ll accept is forged beanie babies

@Cyborgneticz i think it might still be possible w/some planning but yeah that does make things harder

@Cyborgneticz thats def true haha

@Cyborgneticz clearly you went to a much cooler middle school than i did!

@Cyborgneticz thats so cool!!! I hope you got to eat them after

@Cyborgneticz omg no??? That sounds so cool

@Cyborgneticz a headache but also hillarious

@Cyborgneticz yeah i rotated some of them so they grew into little spirals as they tried to compensate

@Cyborgneticz mine was also plants, i grew grass seeds in CD cases to prove that they knew which way was up
