Knowing how stuff works at the municipal level is a fucking curse because you can do your best to relay information to the community and they still assume the worst of you.

To the average person, it looks like we're just tearing up all the parks for development. But there were meetings and posts and announcements, and there was community input and awareness programs and we did our absolute best to keep everyone in the loop but some people still fell through the cracks.

So they think we're destroying all the parks.

"Why did parks and rec get rid of the fence at this park??? All parks should have fences!"

The fence was damaged and we thought it might be more convenient to open up the area so that people using the shelter didnt have to walk all the way around to get into the playground. The fence was damaged because people would climb it as a shortcut. (I personally disagree that all parks should have fences.)

"Why did they tear down the playground at Miller Park? It was perfectly fine- they wouldn't have to tear it all down if they bothered to maintenance it like they're supposed to."

Playgrounds are suggested to be replaced every ten years to keep up with accessibility updates. Likewise, it was decided that while we're updating the playground it would be a good opportunity to address the safety concerns brought to our attention in the past decade.

"THEYVE COMPLETELY TORN APART WILLOW RIDGE PARK! How dare they take away our precious few greenspaces and line their pockets with kickbacks from high density housing???"

-deep breath-

If you had bothered to go to any of the four public meetings, read the announcements, or looked at the giant sign in front of the park, you would notice that we are remodeling the park to include a wetland restoration area to address the flooding issues, which was voted on by the neighborhood it is adjacent to.

Yall are gonna feel real silly when these projects turn out to be massive improvements.

Your first words is something that’ll come up for the rest of your life. You don’t know it at the time though. You don’t know that decades later they’ll still be bringing up how your first act of clear communication was calling your dad mama and your mom dada. There’s no way to warn you of that at that age.

Wattpad users: AO3 is an archive. It collects fanworks. You curate your own reading by learning to use the search function, checking boxes on what you want or don't want to read. There are several guides already circulating around on how to use AO3, not to mention the FAQ on the site itself. There is no app for AO3 because the site works well.

There will be themes and genres that give you the ick but your disgust is not the same as morality or standards. You don't have to read those fics. Just go back to your search and look at the tags for what you want. The archive is for everyone who creates fanworks. Lurk and learn how to use it, and appreciate that you get no ads whatsoever. Take ownership of your fanwork experience and be polite.

AO3 writers: lock down your accounts. Whenever we get an influx of new people barging around like entitled tourists in a small artisan eatery, we end up with a headache. Those who learn to behave will eventually get their chance to enjoy the really good stuff, and the petulant loudmouths will leave full of complaints because they didn't get their way, and that is how it should be.

AO3 volunteers: thank you guys for bearing the brunt of any nonsense that's coming your way
