Even Columbus looks better on the back seat of a bike / and all my fears get washed away in a stream of blinking lights / and the concrete strip below seems less like a noose / and more like a tie that binds / or at least a tourniquet.
— “Bikes and Bridges” by Defiance, Ohio
This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
