highway 59

Just like on any road trip he and Lucy take together, Will drives most of the way. This time, they’re on their way to Milwaukee. Lucy’s on a dissertation committee for a creative writing student out there, some guy who wrote a novel about a boy choosing his mother, like a good version of the movie North. Apparently, Lucy sort of knows the guy through her mother.

“I taught his brother, too, at Wayne,” she says as she makes some last-minute notes on the thick manuscript in her lap. “He was in my freshman comp class. He said Chris was the smart one between them. I don’t think he was lying. This book is really good.”

Will exhales softly. He notices the silence, so he turns on the radio.

I’m not like them, but I can pretend / The sun is gone, but I have a light …

He snorts now.

Thanks, Sam.

“Would you like me better if I wrote a book?” Will asks.

He’s looking at the road, but he can feel Lucy rolling her eyes. It’s her third favorite thing to do, behind two things Will shouldn’t reveal in public.

“I couldn’t like you better if I tried,” Lucy says. “We’ve been over this. Even if you’d been a farmer. Even if you’d been a no-count juvenile delinquent, like you thought you were.”

“I smoked!”

“So did Jan Brady.”

Will rolls his eyes now, too. He merges into the middle lane. According to the map, their exit is coming up soon.

“But if I knew about books the same way you do,” he says, “like you, and Elenore, and your parents, and this guy … what is it … Chip …”

“It’s Chris. Why would it ever be Chip?”

“Why would it ever be Dale? I don’t know. I’m just … I feel like there’s this whole world I’m not part of. Everyone else is there, and then there’s me.”

And that’s how he’s always felt. Like everywhere he goes, he doesn’t fit in. In his family, he’s the only boy, the sore thumb, most likely to be a teen dad. They love him, but does he belong with them? In the Pisces, he always felt like he was the only one who wasn’t really smart, who was faking just so he could keep up with the rest of them. And now, with Lucy and the girls, it’s like they have something on him they can’t even name. Plus, he’s the only boy again.

“Will, listen to me, because I’m only going to say this once,” Lucy says. “I love my job. I love what I teach, and I love what I write. I love that our girls love it, too. But when I look at our jobs … seems like getting people custody of their kids is more important than figuring out if Helen Burns knows she’s angry.”

Will thinks about that for a little while. He doesn’t know who Helen Burns is, and he figures that’s probably the point. But he does help people. That was always the idea. Get the people in the places where they can belong. Get the kids in the right places. Get justice. Justice is a very big thing with Will. He doesn’t even like it when the kids working the two-lane drive-thrus at McDonald’s screw up and take the later car before the earlier one. Maybe that makes him worthwhile. Even if he doesn’t like talking to other lawyers much.

Maybe he has something to be proud of.

“Highway 59’s coming up,” Lucy says. “That’ll get us to Milwaukee.”

Will nods and merges into the far right lane. The college rock station is playing a different song now.

You could stand me up at the gates of Hell / but I won’t back down …

He laughs a little. This song usually reminds him a lot of Lucy. But maybe, just for three minutes, the song can be his.

Thanks, Sam.

He takes the exit toward Highway 59, and it takes them to Milwaukee.

i’m not letting spn off the hook for being violently racist but like... in the same way that they use Bitch as a generic swear because they couldn’t say fuck, i do wonder if some of the creepy midsommar whitebread waspiness pervading the spn Vision of America comes from filming in a place to my knowledge way, way, way waspier (rural british columbia) than a lot of the locations they were claiming to be 

#like i'm not from the contiguous us i've never lived there but.... many of these locales even the rural ones ain't that white #and its like. blindingly white. some of this is on the script which is disturbingly honor bound to never have a last name that isn't anglo #but mississippi? texas? colorado? even a lot of the urban midwest like chicago and milwaukee? i call bullshit

So on the 7th of September (which is a truck day!!! The busiest day of the week for me!!!!) some really really high head honchos are gonna come to the store. Like my boss's boss's boss's boss.

Which means I'm gonna have a very bad week trying to make sure every nitpicky thing is perfect. But it's also one of those visits where if I want to move up the ladder (which tbh I'm not sure I do) that's the time for me to show off. Like our store is 150% better than it was when I started, and a lot of it is because of me. But I gotta make sure we're on top of freight and planograms and all the random stuff they look for that we don't even think about.

#moving up the ladder would mean a significant pay increase #and also look fantastic on a resume #they're opening four new stores in the milwaukee area in the next few years so i do actually have a lot of opportunities coming up #if i stay with the company #and i don't really want to but there's not a lot of good options for me at the moment #like i don't want to just move from one shitty retail job to another #if i leave the company it's gotta be for something better #so idk #but yeah gonna have a rough week

reading pros and cons of moving to chicago (as a remote working techie), seems to mostly come down to  pros:  - has most of the urban amenities of a major city like dc, new york, or la if you put in some effort (music, restaurants, art)  - has transit rivalling new york (it’s pretty easy for me to get to meetups and parties in <hour)  - has real estate prices of a second-tier city  - crime is relatively well contained  cons:  - some of the subway cars are unrideable, but that’s limited to specific lines and only a few cars per train if at all - crime is really bad in the bad areas  - you’re more than a day’s drive from any other real city 

#i currently rent a 2 bed with enough space to entertain #near a couple major music places + good restaurants #half a mile from the subway #3 miles from city center #for $1500 #there's a lot of big college towns in driving distance #madison champaign-urbana south bend indy #as well as milwaukee

Bro of course they make vtmb2 suck and reveal Banu Haquim are gonna be in it 😭😭😭😭

#they’re one of my fav clans #I like… a lot of the clans lol #but my fav character I’ve played and the only character I’ve played… has been a Banu Haqium #Hassan Badawi you’re still so real in my heart and I hope you escaped that town 10 miles out of Milwaukee #I hope you were able to discover love in your afterlife for yourself
