intrusive thought: one of those irritating tv adverts for some resort where a stick-thin girlfriend is holding your hand and cajoling you along off a plane, into a pool, into a bar, and at the end of it the camera flips POV to reveal you, a large stick of celery with facial features made of jam

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Once again baffled at Glasgow’s decision to turn all crossing lights 90 degrees, so now at a crossroads, the light directly within a pedestrian’s line of sight, which actually refers to the crossing *perpendicular* to them, can show green, prompting the pedestrian to step into active traffic.

that red pedestrian signal does not mean what you think it means because somebody has changed the direction of a chunk of the pedestrian lights in glasgow so they refer to the street at right angles to the one suggested by established visual language and i'm surprised people aren't dying as a result
