If you just want to look at and think about cool women doing cool art, stop here. If you yearn for further treks on Planet RantWoman, Please READ ON!
RantWoman, MUST YOU turn perfectly lovely occasions like a wonderful art exhibit by a number of different interesting women into more Snit Fits?
Why do you think RantWoman penned the content warning above. If you really don't want to read the snit fits AND you have no vision of snit fits being transformed by art or otherwise, then bye!
ON THE OTHER HAND, here is a glorious and sacred invitation to walk alongside RantWoman about all kinds of transit-dependent, completely impatient with car culture twitches, trip chaining travel patterns and blunt reminders of ways other people's fantasies disproportionately impact and in RantWoman's mind place undue burdens on RantWoman.
RantWoman reminds readers that one VERY important point of Sundays and seeing people in person / on Zoom is to see a whole bunch of people who are dear to RantWoman but who all live at different two-bus distances from RantWoman. The Friend who sent R antWoman the painting is one of them. RantWoman considers Sunday bus rides to Meeting part of sacred preparation. RantWoman cannot though fit a lot of individual two-bus distances into the rest of her week. And RantWoman has NO sympathy for people who don't want to see RantWoman and cannot appreciate that there are people RantWoman does want to see.
And while RantWoman is stuck on gender-specific hiccups in the space-time continuum, RantWoman would say that demanding FOR MONTHS to meet in person when RantWoman wanted to meet by conference call is another exciting moment of utter ableism. RantWoman was TRYING not only to avoid undue burden on herself but also to save someone else the need to drive around in the local traffic mess. But sure, Friend, if you LIKE being stuck in traffic everywhere.... Maybe there are circumstances RantWoman does not understand, but RantWoman thinks it can also be perfectly fine for everyone to be on the same footing visually. Plus now there is Zoom so there is another set entirely seeing hearing other accessibility issues....
RantWoman, chill. Look at some art. Write some other stuff. Write an email to the non-commute transportation forum where the trip chaining AND the Travel to Sunday worship topics came up. Save thoughts about transportation and racial justice for ... webinar... another blog.
