    “Why are they jumping through bonfires naked?!”

    “Well it’s far too dangerous to jump through the bonfire with your clothes on!”

      The suburbs really are the worst of all options.

      It’s too spread out for scenes (eg: a music scene, an art scene) to take off.

      It’s too dense for nature to be primary.

        And then there are small towns. Plenty of nature, minimal public infrastructure, but everyone around you is either slowly dying or slowly killing themselves.

        Suburbs are a calculated kind of death, yes. Alienated, compartmentalized; all space is individual, no freedom to roam (unless you want to do crimes abd wander all night to stay away from school and dance with thoughts of running away, and even then fences are annoying). Difficult to navigate cleanly. Everything’s so individuated so there’s never a theme or flow to anything. Trees that are too big get cut down. No space to do or be. No life.

        Fuck them so hard.

        You get more nature in a city and more nourishing human contact in the deep woods.

      Cities feel dead to me. There’s social stuff, maybe but it’s easy to get lost in it all.

      Give me a community with some vibrancy in spitting distance of some wildlife instead.

        Well built and maintained cities with green spaces and neighborhood organizations totally have community and wildlife. Cities that have had their naturally grown social systems and ecosystems disrupted with gentrification and bad urban planning feel dead, but so do rural areas that got poisoned by irresponsible agriculture and mining and industry collapses.

        Give me a dense urban center with public transportation and parks and wildlife that knows what time of day the bakers throw out yesterday’s stale bread

        e; and neighborhood block parties where local musicians jam and raise money for food pantries

          Fairly often you’ll see deer in and around Cleveland. So if you’re into wildlife, public transport, and the infinite depression of urban collapse…

          Vienna/Austria has boars, foxes, badgers and more! Even a healthy population of deer on the central graveyard :-) A few months ago a weasel fell in our small backyard garden and panicked our cats lol

    Please don’t do this in the woods unless it’s rained quite recently.

    We’d like to still have the woods tomorrow.

    There are less-destructive ways to meet hot firefighters of whatever gender you prefer.

    Damn, I didn’t realize they were inviting hot chicks to the cross burnings now. Always assumed it was more of an old drunk white sausage fest.
