I'd Show You What My Car Could Do: Alterhuman Joy

Ranger Cincinnati posts about driving our car.

Being a Desert Ranger sucks. It sucks kind of a lot! We feel a lot of pain and homesickness and grief over a lost way of life from this. It makes it hard to get out of our bed sometimes. But this isn’t just something that happens to us, this is also something we choose to be, and there’s a reason for that! When we CAN get out of bed, it makes beautiful things happen.

The rest of the system doesn’t like driving. They tell me it’s stressful and scary and boring. They talk about how they wish our city had a bus, or a train, or that they want to join a carpool. We only got our driver’s license when we were 20, despite not having any disability that would make driving impossible and having access to a car and lessons. We didn’t want to. It was scary.
