Freedom Benefit Bike Ride
Just printing some maps for this…..
not saying things for myself
Yep, not posted much recently. If I’m honest it is probably because I actually told a few people about this blog instead of keeping my mouth shut and just posting into the ether (I don’t have to deal with what strangers think of me or at least I find myself thinking I do not care, I prefer to imagine no audience for any of this).
Yep I’m awkward.
So I’ve been reposting quotes here and there and spending a lot more time off-line. Maybe I will put down some of the things I’ve been thinking, but until then here’s a lovely Middle Ones track to go listen to x

“There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: ‘Not today.’”
, an American author and screenwriter of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. He is best known for A Song of Ice and Fire, his bestselling series of epic fantasy novels that HBO adapted for their dramatic pay-cable series Game of Thrones. Martin was selected by Time magazine as one of the “2011 Time 100”, a list of the “most influential people in the world”.
“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.”

“Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.”

This makes me want to cry
Part of the reason this upsets me is I’ve really noticed recently I’ve been getting more stressed by people trying to their views of how people should ‘be’ onto each other. I know I can find myself thinking ‘why don’t they do this’ or ‘why do they have to be like that’, but unless my memory is really failing me I don’t often (I’m not confident enough to say never) try and impose that on another person (I just get grumpy which is unfortunately an indirect way of doing the same thing, but at least I’m trying). We can talk about how things are for us, we can never really know what things are like for someone else. We’ve all got to where we are through so many varied experiences. I want to respect that. So we can talk about different ideas and ways of doing things, we can inspire each other through those interactions, who knows what may result, but please don’t let’s pretend there is one right way, however attached to ‘ours’ we may have become.
Yep maybe I’m taking this too seriously but wow really fucking wow someone even wrote this shit.
“It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded. It looks as if they were victims of a conspiracy; for the books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and the conversation of their elders, who look back upon the past through a rosy haze of forgetfulness, prepare them for an unreal life. They must discover for themselves that all they have read and all they have been told are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery is another nail driven into the body on the cross of life.”
