It simply must be said. A major (or even the main) reason that american city planning is so atrociously bad, and continues to be that way, has a everything to do with racism in America. Cities do not want easy transit to all parts of the city, because the city is designed with the intention of keeping white people separated from black people. This exists not only in the lack of decent public transit, but also to the dominant form of transit in the USA: the car. Setting aside the fact that cutting up a city with highways is always a poor design choice that worsens life for everyone in the city, you may notice that these borderline impossible to traverse, noise machine, air quality killing, auto insurance payout generating death trap roads tend to conveniently isolate the portions of the city where everyone except fairly well off white people live, thereby not only making the city environment significantly worse in general, but also actively preventing any sort of integration of various communities in a way that is uniquely difficult to work around.
As if that wasn't enough of a clue, the often scarce public transportation itself can serve as a further means of isolation, by acting not as a dedicated transit network for inhabitants of the city to wherever they wish to go, but a means of transporting poor minority workers to and from work, completely out of sight of the white upper class, who often wouldn't be caught dead on public transit. This particular failure of design isn't necessarily racist, it's a nearly universal trait of American public transit that has to do with the fact these systems were designed exclusively with the idea of transporting poor people who can't afford cars to work, and not to facilitate movement across the city no matter the destination. This is why american cities often have fairly minimal train systems with immense rail line transfer hubs near where the majority of non-car owning commuters work: they're optimized for capitalism, not convenience.
There's an interesting historical parallel to this, too. The early predecessor of the inner-city highway, the large boulevard, was originally developed into the distinctive feature of Paris during Georges-Eugène Haussmann's renovation of the city in the 1800s, with one aspect of the project being to do just this - to cut off the poorer areas, and provide wide stretches that couldn't be barricaded during revolts.
Actually, Jonathan Sims was the name of the writer. You're thinking of Jonathan Sims's monster, Jonathan Sims.

my name is elephant I don’t fit the rhyme scheme I drink the soup It’s not like you’re going to stop me
stop. pick up the journal. speak to yourself gently. sit down. have a cup of tea. the world isn't ending even if it feels like it constantly is. what made you upset? how are you feeling? did you hydrate yourself enough today? ate a piece of fruit and watch the sky, soak in some warmth? pick up a random book you want to read and indulge yourself for a moment. better yet, flip it to a random page and read the passage. splash some water on your face, move your legs a little, shake your wrist. i know all you can think of is it's hard, it's hard, it's hard and i will commiserate with you and say that it is. so have some gentleness instead. we all need it. give yourself a taste of it.
This time of year is always very nostalgic for me bc I used to be the Token Gentile at an office and every few months there'd be a Jewish holiday and my friend would be like "Hey, I need you to do Gentile things for us" and I'd be like hell yes dude. Gentile Things often meant I'd sign things in exchange for a few dollars on venmo but Pesach was a special time for me because it meant everyone gave me boxes of pasta, cereal, and other baked goods. The first time my friends were like "Hey for reasons we won't bother getting into we're going to give you all of our bread" I was like, it is a powerful responsibility but as an Ally I cannot refuse. Best time of the year, frankly
Reminds me of the year I spent in a house with a Muslim housemate, and he ate nothing during the day throughout Ramadan - then of course he would be hungry af and buy a fuckload of food as soon as he got off work in the evening. Around midnight, he’d realize he just couldn’t eat everything he’d bought on his own, and come knock at my door to ask if I felt like having dinner again.
I always felt like having dinner again.
I misread that as ‘Tolkien Gentile’ and felt let-down by the post.
On the contrary, it feels very Tolkien for people with unfamiliar customs to show up and give you a bunch of their food with barely an explanation. Like a reverse of the opening of The Hobbit where the dwarves show up and eat all Bilbo's seed cake, or something.
