brielle bouquet v2@rose @cmconseils i used to take pictures of single shoes when id come across them. i used to go for lots of walks. and i found a surprising amount of single shoes. i probably lost most of the shots, and i used to be too broke for a phone so i missed lots of them. but its interesting to see someone else with a similar habit. if i were still walking everywhere, id still be doing it
@briellebouquet @cmconseils Every lost shoe implies a story in a way that a lost glove never will, because - how does it even happen? I don't see many, though.
@rose @cmconseils that is literally why i started doing it lol, you're fully in my head at this point
@rose @cmconseils i climbed up onto a roof of a little multi-unit commercial complex once just to like. be weird. and hang out up there and smoke weed. and i found a single fucking shoe. a fair number in alleys. the odd one downtown. kids boots here and there. i suspect most of the adult ones were from unhoused people
@briellebouquet @cmconseils My favorite lost glove shots are from when I happen across one of my partner's gloves - she is challenged to keep hold of her stuff - such as one I found on a Cleveland OH sidewalk that I only later learned was hers. I've even got one of my own glove, retrieved an hour after it fell our of a pocket at a bump in the road on a bike ride. I celebrate the universality of lost gloves, eyes open that some people can't afford them.
Never found one on a roof, though.
@briellebouquet @cmconseils Also fun - but rare - is when I find and document the second glove in a lost pair.
