realized my “it’s still there” gag about Bernal Heights generally could have been read as if I had anything to do w/ the (cool) antifa cycling club sticker in one of my photos. Nope, I’ve got nothing to do with that.

I read volume one+ when I bought this five years ago*: Rocannon’s World, Planet of Exile, City of Illusions, The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, as well as The Word for World Is Forest. Thanks for the suggestion all those years ago @InclinedPlane!

sixth book: volume two of Ursula K. Le Guin’s two volume collection, The Hainish Novels and Stories. ( https://www.ursulakleguin.com/hainish-novels-and-stories )

fifth book: took a break from all the serious stuff I’m reading to get and read Kitchen Confidential this week. Never read any of his stuff, but it turns out Bourdain’s writing on Parts Unknown is in exactly the same voice, so it was practically an audio book to read.

bonus ride photo, cool new bike sticker

rode up to bernal and then carried my bike to the top, it’s still there, great work everyone, thanks so much

in my building, it’s x-mas all year round, thank you

cheap trick lookin’ work fit

air puppets make great roommates so long as they save rent money between giant blowout sales you wouldn’t believe because they really keep to themselves and only need a window

wierdly half squatting off the bench and then dropping back down to get the last rep from almost there to there on an arnold press is actually good form in a reverse-jerk technique i just invented, tyvm
