I love desire paths. There’s something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it’s location, a desire path can mean so many different things.
In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we’re oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.
Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.
Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.
Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can’t design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!
Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way…especially if you’re superstitious.
In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there’s something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)
And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.
And for something really crazy…a desire path used for centuries will create a ‘holloway’
All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.
So here's my new favourite thing happening on Tiktok:
Dutch people are making videos about Dutch culture in the same way Westerners make videos about Asian culture.
Things like:
-using a pink filter
-making traditional food
-mixing Dutch words into their English sentences
I think they're doing this to show how weird westerners treat Asian culture and I think its one of the best things to come out of Tiktok.
(They're calling it Dutchcore)
I cant
Fucking losing it
Glad I caught that
the first step in healing is realizing that you can use your stickers. you don't need to "save" them for the perfect spot. set them free from their vinyl sheet and let them fulfill their purpose. whore.

i just found the reddit account of a woman who appears to exclusively make very traditional quilts that are also Star Trek themed. I’m obsessed with this.
RED ALERT SHE HAS A TIKTOK
Oh damn, I need to add the person’s tags that had me laughing.

Thanks to Greg Abbott, I could be fined $10,000 for telling you that misoprostol is an abortifacient medication that can be easily found on grey market sites like All Day Chemist for less than $1/pill, and this document will tell you how much you need and how to administer it to induce abortion.
This post is a crime. Vive le resistance.
