a fun fact about modern france is that you can drive from montreuil to arras in approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. this makes trying to write a contemporary version of the scene where it takes valjean almost an entire day very difficult

I feel like every time I drive at night there’s someone driving with their high beams on. And I’m not even talking about headlights that are bright LEDs, I mean actual high beams. Either someone driving at me and blinding me, or someone driving behind me and retina blasting me via mirror reflection and lighting up my whole car cabin, making it hard to see the road in front of me.
And don’t even get me started on the number of people driving with their headlights off because they think their Daytime Running Lights on and they think it’s enough? But then their tail lights aren’t on and you almost run into them because they’re driving a black car.
I’m starting to believe that it’s a detriment to society that we allow people to “learn” to drive from their parents. Like if their parents are shit drivers and don’t know about cars and don’t explain how to use their cars, we perpetuate the problem. Genuinely starting to think we should move towards driving schools like Japan in order to get a license, not just memorizing road signs and then being released onto the road.
“I failed my permit test 5 times and my driving test 3 times before getting my license hehe” you should not be driving. Honestly.
And I understand this also leads to discussions of public transit (more people who don’t like driving and don’t want to should have the option of a robust and reliable network of bus and rail) and privilege (driving schools cost money, not everyone has parents who can teach them) but like … that’s for another post.

Maybe this is because I'm sleep deprived so this post may make no sense but I wonder if gender works differently on the Spiral than it does on earth. Like I wonder if the type of magic you have can influence your sense of identity in any way whether an AFAB girly-girl wizard tries on the 'he/him' pronouns on like a new pair of casual pants on Tuesdays or if something entirely new comes up and it just feels comfy and correct. I once saw a post where it headcanons Dasein to be mirrorgender and I think about that post everyday. Every single FUCKING. Day,
