    This is how I rolled my car off the interstate.

    (I’m fine!)

    I was less than a mile from my exit and I thought I could make it. I was trying to hard to stay awake I ended up driving past several exists. Suddenly, I realized my eyes were closed and I wasn’t sure how long they had been like that. I panicked, afraid I would hit the median, slammed on my brakes and swerved.

    Once that happened, I was alert and I knew I couldn’t stop the car from rolling so I let go and let it happen. Apparently, that’s partly why I wasn’t seriously injured. I didn’t tense up and try to brace myself. That and seatbelts/good safety design.

    I was scared to drive for awhile but it’s fine now. Though, I never speed. I always pull over if it doesn’t feel right. By that I mean, if I’m tired, if there is bad weather, if my car isn’t driving properly….anything. I don’t risk it.

    Other drivers seem annoyed that I’m going the speed limit but I don’t give a fuck.



  • I use Lemmy primarily. I try not to use Reddit, Meta, TikTok or anything else as much as I can if there is a Fediverse option.

    Unfortunately, there are a few things you have to use that stuff for:

    • Facebook Marketplace has completely replaced Craigslist in my area.

    • Neighborhood apps like NextDoor, even if there are other options, doesn’t matter if your neighbors don’t use it.

    • Reddit for specific niche forums. If the community is active on Lemmy, I post questions here first but in some case I need an answer for something that doesn’t exist in the Fediverse yet.
