how the hell is the province going to find a buyer in their right mind to buy this? I would feel like there is a huge target on my back.

👍 working hard to push though.. If the stars align I may be able to participate in the annual Canada Day invasion of Hurricane ridge. Between injury and covid I have not done it since 2019 and it would feel so much like "back to normal" if I can make it, even if only part way up before my shoulder says nope.

as a cyclist sitting on the sidelines with an injury, all this dry weather and sunshine is killing me.

These bastards always go after the trans people first.

It's not entirely accurate to say that 'fascists always come for the trans people first.' The Nazis, for instance, developed a deeply horrifying eugenics program that didn't single out any one group initially, but targeted any population they deemed 'undesirable.' (Google 'T4 Project' for more info.) Among the first victims were people with conditions we now understand as autism. In fact, the term 'Asperger's syndrome' came from Hans Asperger, a clinician working in Nazi-occupied Vienna who labeled some autistic children as his 'little professors.' These were children he deemed could contribute to society and were thus worth saving. This is one reason why many in the autistic community prefer not to use the term 'Asperger's' anymore—it's just ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) now. If you read the book 'Neurotribes,' it provides an in-depth exploration of how the Nazis manipulated narratives of 'mercy' and 'alleviation of suffering' to justify their genocidal acts, starting with what they euphemistically referred to as 'euthanasia' of disabled children. LGBTQ+ individuals, including those we would now identify as trans, were also heavily persecuted, often being wrongfully categorized as 'mentally ill.' But these atrocities were widespread and multifaceted, targeting numerous groups concurrently, not sequentially.

at this point, just get back onto a bike. Had major reconstructive surgery, and it's killing me to have all this nice weather and not even a single-century ride to show for it.
