Policing is bad and that includes nagging people about the clothes they wear. I will not wear head armour every time I get on a bike for the same reason I won't wear a mountaineering lid when I go for a walk.

I got evacuated in a helicopter after doing my job. Got to thunder bay ontario and smog made everything dark brown. I had plans to go somewhere else but my boss demanded 'where are you going' and nothing was mature enough to commit to. So I flew back to vancouver. wild scenes. Climate crisis.

I had a cool consultation with an immigration lawyer this morning. The upshot is that I'm in a good place to get Canadian PLR, but that A. I have to get an actual job for a year and B. I have to learn French and sit a test, scoring good grades. I guess those guys won after all this time after all.

actually doing my nut in about the 'just buy air con' discourse regarding london. 1. Poor people especially homeless people cant afford it 2. Its a city of 8 million people. We dont have that many units to give out. 3. Huge amounts of us work outside. Air con wont help me there. We need a day off.

found a really good healthcare hack. I fell off my bike (massive speedbump in a mall car park) last week and got bad road rash. So after cleaning and etc my wounds, I've wrapped them with tattooing recovery 'second skin.' It is breathable and keeps the burns covered while also flexible and strong.

hung out here by this lake for 2 hours. It was so great. I did an out and back loop so just pulled over when I wanted and so didnt have any time pressure. really nice. For a heap of time i just watched the sun sparkling on the water with some wind squalls. No artificial noise at all.

the mental and emotional toll of migration really is crazy. Its only when you actually dig yourself up and you move that you realise how much your habits and regular networks were helping your general mental condition, and you really have to start fighting to just do regular things. It is bananas.

I have done nothing today whatsoever. Ive yapped with one friend on the phone, made some bread, made some scones, walked round a block with another friend with the scones I've made, got my headset sorted and drunk two coffees. Its been tremendous.

end of my first working rotation as a dirty dirtbag gatherer. Spent it trying to focus on what is important; guarding my peace, human connection, and not getting lost in the sauce. It worked. Proud of it. Tomorrow with an able body is never guaranteed.

One of the reasons one of my best friends quit medicine was the attitude that to be a doctor is to just be a vending machine for a machine that wants to chew you up. That your only value is what you can produce for capitalism.

This is one of my real llm fears. Actual human connection is a good. I like seeing stuff other people have written down or drawn or glittered or glued. I find looking at anything thats an output from these hell machines makes me mad as hell and I think it should provoke you snd me to do something.

A notable feature of AI is that it has changed the nature of what feels amateurish. It used to be that a poster made by someone who didn’t know what they were doing would be comic sans on clipart, which was at least charming. Now it’s that creepy Ghibli-knockoff style and lots of greebly overdetail.

Fwiw, I think this is why a pivot into cultural and mutual aid work is probably the right move for trans folk. We do not have the capacity to counter this at the institutional level. We tried, we lost. We defeat trans genocide by keeping trans culture and possibility and people alive.

Libraries are such radicalising places. In a world where so many people get nickel and dimed for just sitting down, that anyone can access a free world of books, internet, and so many other resources, for free, and you get to be a space that doesnt reduce you to your bank balance. It is very moving.

Deeply greived that my shared house I'm subletting in is up for sale. If I lived here I would hope I'd be moving heaven and earth to make it unsellable and to keep the home. I am a guest so its a difficult position but I'd be hanging flags saying 'we live here' and all sorts. Whatever it takes.

Migrating again on Monday. One month in once place, now I am off to another. I am hugely grateful to the people and communities who've made me home since my trip out on April fools day. Emigration is terrifying. Bikes are a constant.

One of the most important anarchist principles I've learned is that while criticising structures is valuable, we must also promote what it actually is people want to do. Two very good friends run a DIY bike fixing service. They don't do it to get rich. They do it because they like to do it.

Lived up to the insecure seasonal worker stereotype by buying two packs of playing cards and an uno set from dollarama, 20 rechargeable AA batteries, 3 sets of fairy lights, a lamp, and a hundred dollars worth of books. It has been a good day.

Just enjoyed my first in a while but of unsolicited cop behaviour. I rode my bike down on a wooden board way thing because that is the quickest way to where I wanted to walk. Some white guy in a shirt yelled at me 'no cycling.' I said it hurt me to walk, and I continued, paring up on some grass.

Came back from hanging out at a polo hangout in vancouver. Big up east van bike polo for having a great time and paying not a thing. Bike polo is so punk rock. You can make your own mallet, you can use the cheapest type of bike there is, you can make spoke guards out of milk jugs. It is the best.

Went out, sent a letter, and got some headphones done at the post office. The worker there hadn't taken photos in ages or used a printer, just more bullshit they are expected to do without a pay rise, an entire career 'just figure it out'-ed. Upsetting and unfair. Being a worker should be bigged up.
