one of my many driving-related toxic traits is that whenever i hear someone complain about getting honked at by someone "impatient" behind them, i automatically assume the complainer is at fault for driving slowly. "i was first at the light and it turned green and it took me a second to start moving and someone HONKED at me, can you believe it?" 1. i guarantee it was longer than a second 2. on lights with short cycles during rush hour (when there's always a line backed up), time wasted by the first car translates into fewer cars making it through on that light cycle. you are directly shaving minutes off of other drivers' lives. side tangent, i've been kicking around this concept for a utilitarian utopia where all traffic information is perfectly tracked and supercomputers crunch those numbers to determine exactly how many cumulative seconds of other drivers' lives you're wasting, and when that number reaches the average lifespan of a human being you are summarily executed for murder via the remote-detonated brick of C4 under your driver's seat (mandated in all cars sold since 2026)

Children Have Died
Children have died
says the safety label on the carseat
and it’s true
but I pay attention to the news
so I already knew about the
3,360
children who have died
in Gaza over the past three weeks
I already knew about the
20 dead children at Sandy Hook
17 dead children at Parkland
19 dead children at Uvalde
I already knew about the killings of
Trayvon Martin
Tamir Rice
Ma'Khia Bryant
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the warning label
just thinking we should put them also
on the bombs
on the bullets
on the badges
so that people with guns being told
by society and their commanding officers
to points weapons at children
stop choosing to pull the trigger
Or maybe it’s just about the wording
it shouldn’t say
children have died
it should say
children are dying
and we have the power to stop it.
