it was at the exact moment I read this that I realised I did, intact, didn't have my earplugs on me
finally developing a habbit of having my earplugs on hands at all times (those specifically for ear protection) just kinda highlights for me just how fucking unbarable and entirely artificially loud so many public spaces are. I also noticed my auditory processing and cognition improve after not being blasted with loud noise all day. But like why. Why do these structures insist public places have to be as uncomfortable and hostile as possible, even when they're specifically leisure-centric???
