it's been so long i forgot what number i'm on

oops welp we're so back again, this time for RICHMOND (23/272)

went on a cycle ride through barnes, around richmond park then through brentford and chiswick (hence my post yesterday lol) but was just lovely, barnes is so nice now hammersmith bridge is shut to cars, it's so quiet, peak urban design richmond park itself was amazing, i feel a lot of parks in london go a bit too far with making it look nice, i.e. artificial gardens and such, but richmond has very little of that, just trees and grasses and lakes and shit it's lovely. especially on the hill where you can see the skyscrapers in the distance, i love seeing which ones i can recognise / want to go to next

apart from that, richmond town centre was a little disappointing tbh, of course there were loads of cool cafes and shops and that but just. too many cars, im gonna sound like a broken record but why is there a massive motorway right next to richmond (that goes for chiswick as well >:( )

although about chiswick, apart from the motorway the cycle lanes were actually really good, i could tell when i entered the hammersmith and fulham borough bc they got instantly worse (as in no physical seperation, just those flexi posts), so good job with that hounslow borough <3

i need to explore the areas around the river more tbh they're always just so beautiful (<3 docklands)

anyway dont have much else to say abt richmond, find my photos here will probably do kew gardens next even tho i actually visited like a year ago and forgot to do the post :sob:

A new mode of production arises out of the newly networked masses.

people keep trying to make "ladies and gentlemen" more inclusive.

I think we should go the other way around.

make more and more weird false dichotomies in greetings. "gamers and pianists". "oil painters and swordsmen". "vexillologists and entomologists". "chess masters and diamond artificers". "accountants and gendered individuals".

we need to be dropping shit into formal meetings to make people say "wait what? which one am I?"

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.
