Fun Fact: Amtrak legally has priority over freight trains, the issue is there is no governing body to enforce this and because freight trains have gotten so long, they can't fit on the sidings made for Amtrak trains to pass them, leading to many delays on train travel

this is not a fun fact

Fun Fact: Amtrak can not legally charge freight companies a tax for delays as it is technically a private company despite being government owned

And, if you want to do something useful about these sorts of issues, there is a good advocacy group that works to better train service and for things like enforcing the rules on the freight companies:

Seriously, joining advocacy groups is so important, it's how we fight for a better future

wet evening in April by Patrick Kavanagh

Patrick Kavanagh published this poem on April 19, 1952 — 72 years ago.

[ID: The poem "Wet Evening in April" in its entirety. It reads:

"The birds sang in the wet trees / And as I listened to them it was a hundred years from now / And I was dead and someone else was listening to them. / But I was glad I had recorded for him the melancholy."

The middle two lines are indented. End of description.]

Saw this on a door at work.

# the lights are agog # the ceiling’s aghast # is the desk drawer in love at last?

That fucking tag omg

I think detaching disgust from morality is one of the keys to Chilling Out. You can find inner peace by being able to go "hm! Gross" and recognize if it's an actual problem or not. Cause if it's not an actual problem... it's not your problem 🙏 god bless

Every callout post that's like "she jacks off to Weird Porn! Isn't that gross? Don't you hate it?" I mean maybe but I have the same reaction to sour cream. Personally I'm in the habit of using my brain to determine if something is ethical/moral/etc or not instead of just my first knee jerk reaction, like, "is this actively harmful to anyone involved" is a more useful question than "do I personally think it's gross"

Also if you find yourself doing mental gymnastics to explain why something could hypothetically be harmful, potentially, under the right circumstances, it's probably Just Gross. Especially if the scenario you crafted involves a secret third party besides the Consenting Adults involved ??? You are making up a guy to be mad at, my friend

I could not not share this.
