I see bottles of piss here too, they&#39;re from Amazon drivers delivering toxic floss to people and pissing in bottles and leaving on the side of the road 2024-06-18T07:49:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz3wysrstjvu4ggwlw79zc0szlhvcvyk932cgw4p9qd7ywr5yjhjczyqht63hack08nzgca8ey5mxt5hqm9carzwf7jxwngwrj3lnwqt7ezj0gvs4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyn3fk6hdlm0le34ccgtjwytltkzsd4rhuzynfhrtryjp5gk2rutsl5dgzp'>nevent1q…dgzp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ugh, subway nail-cutting is maybe the thing I miss very least from NYC!<br/><br/>This is by no means the best photo in the roll but it does have placefulness going for it. But now I’m thinking about what’s litter and what’s just errant ground detritus. Does litter have to be thrown a la the Vancouver hand lettered sign?<br/> <img src="https://media.union.place/media_attachments/files/112/636/451/710/299/428/original/606bb2362e4342c9.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-06-18T07:34:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsteswcdwq9euqfyn937m964zpnlpjtjsgeq76c2d7zjhsvca9c9vczyqht63hack08nzgca8ey5mxt5hqm9carzwf7jxwngwrj3lnwqt7ezq8wdym In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszj9cgzvmucqp6j7n5xwqmg2gxv03hg5j6dsx3zxa9vuwtujsv7fsc2q9fp'>nevent1q…q9fp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As long as I can walk I&#39;ll just be staring at the ground (at litter, trying not to fall in holes, trying not to fall down generally). SoCal litter is less dense and less variegated, natch. I&#39;ll have my eye out for flossers. 2024-06-18T07:18:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8zsxd8ay6stc39vfefc0rt5l6d00r8nsa7ncwxfm0j7uk72hwzkgzyqht63hack08nzgca8ey5mxt5hqm9carzwf7jxwngwrj3lnwqt7eznftdq5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr34ucqsafh3qrd5v3je7vasy9cx0gkr8faq3t9wlgtakg9jg703s298zwr'>nevent1q…8zwr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This started in NYC, actually, because a visitor asked about all the gloves 2024-06-18T07:03:08Z
