Having a kid hit home for me how our built environment is designed to rob him of any freedom. Lived and walked in U.S, cities for 35 years and I feel like it’s never been worse. A combo of 1950s design, bloated vehicles, screens, and increasing assholery. A block from his school at drop-off time.

This one’s from a few years back and is my all-time favorite. I had to add a dollar to the swear envelope that day. My son has about $50 in the swear envelope and will tell you it all comes from Daddy yelling at drivers.

Chicago drivers are so profoundly stupid when it comes to blocking intersections, I’m sometimes amazed they can even muster the brain cells required to breathe. Here’s one with a monster truck and my man randomly dropping a “6-7!”

I keep sticking these on a signal control box in my Chicago neighborhood, along a dangerous Illinois DOT controlled road that we have to cross to get to our park. The city keeps painting over the stickers and I keep adding them. Here’s what crossing is like. I have indoctrinated my six-year-old.
