At the monthly Peretz Centre dinner last night they played this documentary The Anarchist Lunch (2023) by Rachel Epstein, about her father Norman Epstein and his circle of mostly men, mostly UBC profs who met for Chinese food and to talk about politics every thursday since the late 80s. it's partly about lifelong activism and partly about male friendship and aging.

today's the 1-year anniversary of me getting hit by a car on the Ontario St bike path here in #Vancouver lol all things considered it could have been much worse, mainly my knee gets sore on a rainy day and my favorite bike was destroyed without any kind of insurance payout big enough to replace it. but no serious lasting health issues and I'm not traumatized about biking so that's something at least.

the Granville Strip is one of my least favourite parts of #Vancouver, but ... this is the usual local tradition of driving poor and homeless people out of tourist districts right before a big international sports event being hosted here. I was evicted from my first Vancouver apartment just before the Olympics because it was sold to be repurposed as mental health housing when money was being showered around, so I know it well.

We've been trained to not use "terrorism" to refer to state actions, for generations.
It's reserved for non-state actors because the threat of violence is ok for legitimate states.
