INSTRUCTIONS: Discriminate against sidewalks.

Most of the time, my praxis are planned pretty far ahead. This is because I am lazy, and therefore it takes me a long time to get up the gumption required to actually do the work of transforming my ideas into reality. But this time was different. Sometimes you just have a strong desire to task, right now. So I looked for task that I could do right now, and picked this one. For some reason BARTPA tasks seem to be the easiest to pick up, for me at least.

So I set out to discriminate against sidewalks. I had an errand to go on, so I vowed to never let my feet touch a sidewalk the whole way. I walked on streets, lawns, curbs, medians, alleys, parks, gardens, hallways, stairs, bridges, parkings lots, and grass, but besides a few accidental incidents, I stayed entirely clear of the hated sidewalk.

Most of the time walking off the sidewalk isn't too hard. The hard bit comes with getting across sidewalks without touching them. I did a lot of jumping over sidewalks. The aforementioned accidents took place when sidewalks proved to be too wide for me to jump across. The other major difference was that I ended taking a longer route than I would've normally, as using the main thoroughfares would've probably led to me getting hit by a car. More info about my journey can be found in the pictures.

Other Discriminatory Actions that I took include
-Refering to the sidewalks by a derogatory slur ("sides")
-Spitting on a sidewalk
-Kicking a sidewalk for no reason other than I could get away with it
-Writing anti-sidewalk slogans on walls
-Turning sidewalks down for jobs based only on the fact that they were sidewalks
-Refusing to give sidewalks a loan
-Passing laws preventing sidewalks from voting

Ok, so I didn't really do those last three things. But I did do the rest. Just to show those sides who's boss. Dirty sides, all twisting through our neighborhoods. Makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

By the way, the fact that Smedly also did this today is a complete coincidence.

Gardeners sometimes call those little strips of grass between the street and the sidewalk "hellstrips" because they usually get a lot of sun and are hard to grow things on.

They are called "parkways" where I come from.
