Reminds me of the video game Control, but like, pastel on one side. Hah. Great technique and understanding of colour, value, and perspective.

Believe me, I wish I didn't need a car, but I'm a field service tech and my job requires a work vehicle since I'm travelling with a ton of tools. I'd also love to get rid of my personal car, but my wife needs it for a 30-minute commute; the bus ride is close to 2 hours and there aren't really any other practicable transportation methods.

Don't even get me started on the lack of infrastructure outside of downtown, there are a ton of places around town where they don't even have sidewalks, let alone bike or bus lanes.

I don't know what the solution is when so many cities and municipalities either don't want to invest in mass public transportation or (in the case of my city) cheaped out and ended up with a light rail transit system that barely functions. It just reinforces car ownership out of necessity.

I don't use it myself, but there's a federated blogging service called WriteFreely that markets itself as being very minimalist and simple.

You can self-host an instance of it, just like you can with /kbin, or you can use an instance that already exists (I think it's a few bucks a month if you don't want to post anonymously).

Not sure if federation is something that's important to you but I thought I'd throw it out there.
