Can’t they just be angry in their parents basement? What purpose does this even serve?
Just a tip, since you’ll be shielding behind umbrellas, you’ll need eyes on the crowd somehow in case they get violent. That would be awful and any way to prevent that is for the best. Good luck out there!!

You are vastly uneducated. 4 in 10 adults have at least 1 chronic illness. i have 11. when you get 1 they often essentially latch on to other weakness to cause related or comorbidity illnesses.

You’ve lived here for 15 years (just like me) and you think the infrastructure has gotten better? We must be living in two different cities. 2019 and prior, I commuted using metro but upon becoming a disabled cane user who can’t stand for longer than a couple mins, I cannot physically do that commute - especially a transfer. Elevators broken or escalators broken and I’m SOL. The infrastructure is awful here compared to other cities.

People with chronic illnesses have been advocating to work from home for decades and thankfully it’s more the norm now post-pandemic. I’m very chronically ill and could never work in an office full time again. This isn’t anti-social it’s called survival.

a lot of autoimmune illnesses/chronic illnesses are also hereditary or commorbidic of each other as well.

i have a recurring dream that i walk around barefoot. maybe it's my time to shine.

heated floors sounds like the worst thing to happen to a metro train.
scenario 1: it's the hottest day of summer. the ac in the metro cars is obviously out and you're shoved into the car like a pack of sardines. but your feet feel like the first circle of hell because...heated floor.
scenario 2: all that food people leave on the metro just stanking and stay lukewarm on the hot floor allllll day.
charging units sound great though.

Reply to DC is my City [#228] : Bird House at the National Zoo by carmonamedina
I’m a huge bird nerd and have been anxiously awaiting the Bird House to re-open. Your piece of art is incredible. I love the character that went into the birds. I hope this makes them seem more approachable for kids too. Birds are often not the most exciting to children while at the zoo, when there are lions and tigers to wide-eyed gaze at. I was a weird and wonderful kid who liked all the unique animals, so birds have always had a place and my heart and hope this new exhibit and your art opens up the varied species to so many others as well.
