Twice in the last month or so I’ve been solicited for work. Twice in the last month or so I’ve written something. Otherwise I’ve just been skating, working, and familing. It’s been pretty great

Open YouTube, type in Rodney Mullen Define Skateboarding, and pay attention to the first 3 minutes when he talks about the diversity of skateboarding, how it attracts the marginalized. Skating is illegal by statute in Wisconsin. these kids behave like outlaws because they treat them like outlaws
