If we aren't working towards a sustainable planetary civilization where we all have a life of art, joy, leisure, and knowledge... then... what... are we working for every day?

douglas (long lines site) at night (reposted with fewer typos)

the picture could be better but the tower site is colocated with someone's farm, and I felt like there was a good chance I'd get shot at if I stuck around much longer. rural Alabama moment

dark radio tower, support building, and fence. a few stars in a cloudless night sky.

new elevator buttons? I'm guessing these are an accessibility thing for emergency calls but not sure

"yes" and "no" buttons in an elevator, below the emergency call button

Hawthorne, Lewisburg, and Brick Church Long Lines tower sites from last Sunday (I also visited Shelbyville and Thach but their microwave horns seem to have been removed D:)

Hawthorne - these antennas look older than the other sites, there's also some other smaller equipment colocated on the tower

Lewisburg - not the only tower here, but another two sets of horns along with some other antenna gear

Brick Church - two sets of horn antennas probably relaying between Thach and Lewisburg

I do not understand how TWO cars almost hit me at the same time today, one going against a red light, in broad daylight, while I have a fluorescent yellow and orange vest on!!! what is this! I literally cannot be any more visible without, idk, wearing christmas lights or something!

middle Tennessee (mostly downtown Lewisburg)

vines growing up a concrete(?) wall in an alley

the marshall county court house, a brick and stone building wtih columns and a clock tower

a valley with hills on alternating sides. some deadish trees in the foreground obscure the view a bit

DCA is my favorite airport, I think

post-security hall at DCA. beautiful windows (floor-to-ceiling on the left) with lots of arches line the walls. wayfinding signs are placed just above eye level every so often. for what should be a liminal space, there is a real sense of place here.

airport security is bad because it means i can't fit a frivolous metrorail trip into this 2h connection time at dca

I will not be happy with the state of intra-city transport in europe until:
- Car industry lobbying efforts will be supressed
- Every medium and big city will have trams
- The said trams will be GAY trams
- I will be able to ride with my GAY friends on the GAY tram and perhaps HUG and KISS them 🥺 🥺 🥺 👉 👈 🚊
