through the power of hobbies, you can experience both "working hard" and "hardly working" at the same time
you can also achieve this by being kind of incompetent at your job. but that's not as fun.
My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry
Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?
If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.
Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.
I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians
If the tracked area is for trams/streetcars only, may I recommend that you make it green track?
Not only does it add much needed greenery to public spaces, but it also reduces heat at street level, reduces the running noise of trams and dramatically improves water drainage at street level. It even goes as far as reducing the damage to the tracks caused by the material expanding and buckling in high heat by simply keeping the rails cooler and better displacing heat.
It doesn't even have to be grass! Different species of plant, local species or hardier, low-maintenance species can be used, and furthermore, it tends to reduce maintenance costs of the tracks, as soil is easier to dig up than concrete or tarmac, and so the tracks can be accessed and worked on easier.
Obviously, if you want the street to be able to accept buses along with trams/streetcars, or other rubber-tyred vehicles, then a hard surface is necessary, but if it's light rail only, then green track gets my vote.
Already made the edit, I hope you enjoy the green tracks and their flowers. This image is very green
Redoing the color of the bike path to make the street less fucking green
I love the idea of green tracks, but in this case they are not a good choice:
You still need the possibility for rubber based vehicles like Fire Cars or Ambulances to pass the streets.
You can't just put them on tracks because they need to be as mobile as possible to allow maximum efficency.
Okay removing the grass due to firecodes
Urbanism pride flag lol
we still need green so maybe put flowerpots in the middle of the sidewalk? Like rectangular ones that only take up maybe a fifth of the sidewalk width, and their intermittent, maybe one between every other set of trees.
The street planters have come in
Honestly if you want some good green space you should consider bioswales between the bike facilities and the "street", which would help replace some of the lost drainage/filtration function from de-greening the track
The bios have been swaled
ALT@puddlebrigade Okay the tables have been moved and reduced to be more accessible and some planters have been moved
ALTThe large dark green dots are trees
Is it too soon for this?
Yes, you aren’t even on the current version
Sidewalk seems a little tight tbh
Sidewalk widened. Goal achieved
ALT@i-use-oxford-comma The benches have been added and @prawnhubpremium The dragon is opening a shop
ALTWe are making a good street
I made a 3d render of our street
Oh my god, that looks like a real place I could visit, I love this
Doodles. I was going to color in the second page but nah
Cause it is. I'll sometimes draw it in whatever angle it's in
The bee is real

ALTi wouldve drawn this on my computer instead of my macbook but i was worried i wouldve forgotten to draw this comic while working
"A favorite section was the arrival of the 'mail man,' which always triggered intense barking and ferocious 'attacks' from the pups."
This is so cute omg
@commodore-64 This is a display at the Leather Archives and Museum in Chicago! This was not my first time there, but between this visit and the last they've really expanded their display on pups. It's a very wholesome and interactive place--that particular room had chalk and encouraged visitors to draw on the walls, hence the cute little nude figure in the picture.
They even had some gear to try on in that room!
They also have a library with tables full of sketchbooks and coloring pages.
Even the bathrooms were a joy. Here we have a poll which granted a landslide victory to bush--the pussy not the president.
At the gift shop they were selling vintage comics, porn and erotica. I think that selection was temporary, but I was able to pick up a book of comics that includes Tumblr's darling, Gerard Donelan! Also this little plush piggy.
And someone at the front desk was able to tell me all about a leather bar in my hometown that closed before my time. The museum and archives have a star-studded board, including Billy Lane, the first openly trans International Mr Leather contestant, and Gayle Rubin, an acclaimed pro-sex feminist scholar and activist. Both have displays about them. This place has workshops, film screenings, classes... I could just go on and on. If you're ever in Chicago, visit this place, the 64Ten shop and Jackhammer in the same neighborhood.
Anyway, thanks for asking!
Losing my goddamn fucking mind over how Batman 1966 gave Catwoman a sidekick in one episode and named her Pussycat.
that’s the legendary Jewish lesbian singer Lesley Gore btw, so I have an inkling they knew what they were doing
it’s almost as if Tolkien knew what he was talking about
It’s almost as if Tolkien personally witnessed one of the bloodiest wars in human history and then used that to fuel his writing.
playing paladin is SOOO funny in one scene there is a guy who claims to be a paladin of tyr but if you pass the religion check you see the image of a shattered scale, meaning he's lying. god was like "he is NOT affiliated with me"
