Still 0–0 here between #CEEuropa and FC Cartegena. We had the ball in the net early on but it was chalked off for hands in the build up. (I didn't see it but VAR did apparently.) It's a big game because winner leapfrogs to second in the table. So far we've definitely been on the front foot; hopefully they can make that count in th second half.

Coffeeneuring 4 of 7. Today's route happened to mostly follow this video I once made for YouTube and recently uploaded to PeerTube: https://tube.todon.eu/w/xcSPssoPfa7Ao25k6XSg4B … also, I filmed footage for the follow up video to that one on coffeeneuring № 2 and it should be ready soon!

Haven't been on here because spent the previous week on a bike trip. It was lovely. The first part was a rails-to-trails path and the second half was the old roman road / pilgrims path.
Highlights:
🪨 Biked on a roman road and counted down the roman mile stones!
🏞️ Pretty landscapes
🍽️ Ate well
🫏 Slept next to donkeys
💑 Spent time with my partnerAccomplishments:
🚄 First time disassembling the bikes for the train
⛰️ Most climbing in a day & steepest mountain climbed (800+ m / cat 3)
⚙️ First major field repair (chain twisted and had to convert to a single speed)Takeaways:
🧦 Bring extra dry socks (it was colder and wetter than we had planned on) -

There is the blatant moral horror of murder, displacement, and destruction. There is the obvious reality that they don't care about human life and suffering, followed closely by the increasingly inescapable realization that all of it—the schools, hospitals, aid workers—is on purpose. And then there is the sheer pointlessness of it. It's an empty ritual that not even the high priest believes in anymore. Still, the magic words have to be sent out as a press release and the blood sacrifice has to be made, over and over again. Not even Bibi can be dumb enough to believe that chaos and devastation will lead to peace and stability. Not that it matters what he believes anymore. And I want to go scream at the Liberals on Facebook who kept trying to be "reasonable" and "understanding" and "nuanced" with their "well I don't like Bibi either but…¨(while posting humanizing photos and names of Israeli hostages but never of Palestinians) but I don't have the stomach for it and it feels pointless anyway. #screamingintothevoid

I also like how this photo makes the bike journey look almost epic, and that in the distance you can see the mountains we would go over the next day. #BicycleTouring

Coffeeneuring 3 of 7! We headed over to Sant Andreu, which is a neighborhood that I have passed by/through from time to time but never really stopped in. It's very friendly. Barcelona is so much more than Ciutat Vella + Eixample!

I saw delightful little eggplants and got them to make makdous (preserved eggplant dish). But then we got word that they are ready to start work on renovating the kitchen (some cabinet doors are missing because they fell off). Starting a multi-day eggplant processing project is probably a bad idea now which means I have to find a new use for all those eggplants. (To clarify, this is not a hardship). All of which is a long-winded excuse to share “Los Guisados de la Berenjena” 🎶

Apparently the Tour de France next year will depart from Barcelona. Madrid showed up to stop the Vuelta and I can't imagine this place is going to allow itself to be outdone.

While out cycling I also snapped a quick photo of some train infra in progress. This is just north of the new large logistics terminal being constructed at La Llagosta as part of the Ten-T Mediterranean Corridor. Reports say it's to open in 6 months.
(It also happens to be in a spot where there is a gap in the cycle infra that requires carrying your bike to go under the tracks as they go over a mostly dry river bed. It would be great if they put some way to safely get from La Llagosta to Mollet that doesn't require either a massive detour or joining a busy road while they were at it.)

If you've been thinking of following @WalterBenjamin today would be the perfect day. Tomorrow the not starts tooting a new text: On the Concept of History. Not only would you be joining at the beginning of the ride, this one is particularly good, like, really really good, like if I was to start a religion this would be part of my sacred texts.

@dynamic It has been a while since I had to deal with this, but yes, in principle it's income and it's up to you report it along with appropriate deductions. What the crowdfunding platform will vary but often if it's below a certain amount they won't report anything. Setting yourself up as a sole proprietorship in the US (unless you are using a business name other than your own name or if you want access to certain kinds of banking) beyond including the self employed income in your end of year filing. #notlegaladvice

The parents want (1) the garden to be open even when their are no volunteers to keep an eye on things and (2) fewer plants and more room for kids to run around in, including a play structure. The volunteers who currently manage the space (as part of an agreement with the city, mind you) argue that (a) this random group can't just come in and dictate how the space they have been taking care of should be used and (b) this is a unique space with a unique focus on biodiversity and calm greenery and more playgrounds shouldn't come at the expense of already existing public space.
This is their petition to try to slow the roll of the participative budget process and not lose the garden: https://chng.it/Z5MbyLSTpx

Barcelona has a participative budget program, which is great and results in some nice projects. Except, it also tends to reward the types of people and groups who are good at navigating the proposal and online voting process. Often that means parents who want more playgrounds. I'm always in favor of more public space, and playgrounds are an important type of public space, just not the only type of public space we need. And in this case a group of parents are pushing through a proposal to turn the Jardí del Silenci into a playground.
There's one glaring omission in their proposal: they never coordinated with, or even spoke to, the folks currently managing the space—you know the volunteers who have been nurturing the plants, shaping the space, and who fought to keep it from being turned into a parking lot to begin with!

Want to hear a local (to me) story about public space, urban planning, and neighborhood activism? A story that starts with a convent and ends with a link to an online petition to try to make things right? Of course you do! So…
Once upon a time there was a convent. However, with the nuns only getting older and fewer folks interested in taking up the calling it was closed down. The church, in their infinite wisdom, sold the building and small garden to a real estate development agency, who planned to build a parking lot. Neighbors stepped in, joined up, and pressured the city into buying the land. Since 2012 it's been run, entirely on a volunteer basis by a neighborhood non-profit as «El Jardí del Silenci», The Garden of Silence. It's quite lovely. And now, it's being threatened … but not by whom you might think.

The sudden proliferation of paint and sip places in the neighborhood feels like cruel mockery of all the artists and artisans who work here. It's almost a form of cultural appropriation. At the very least it's gentrification via pale simulacra. Also, Wine Gogh is a shit pun and Frida's Place is just insulting.

@blauertee @FediTips Postal codes vary in size. In the Netherlands they designate about 8 houses. You can use less of it (12 vs. 1234 vs. 1235 AB) to designate a larger area but it's not inherently obvious what size to use. —- that said I don't think a general standard is necessary. Every neighborhood can come up with its own hashtag. I have used #viladegràcia before when talking about local interest and (to the extent anyone around here is using mastodon) I think that's been fine.
-
In response to the @domtoren_klok I'm tempted to set up a Campanar de Gràcia bot. I would have to think carefully about how to represent the two bell sounds it uses.

There are roving bands of drumlines marching/dancing/drumming their way through the neighborhood tonight. I have no idea why. I recognized one of them as the drummers of the els petits malsons de la vella diables. I think at least some of the others are visiting from other neighborhoods. I keep encountering them at random intersectioms as I walk home and I can hear more in the distance.

In today’s episode of I live in a very neighborhood-y neighborhood: While getting coffee at the queer coffee shop the guy who runs the other coffee shop I often go to calls to ask the owner a question. He answers “I can't hear you; I'm busy making coffee for one of your customers,” because of course we all know each other. (For context, these places are ~300 m apart because this place is compact and walkable AF.)

It’s almost Passover! Do you need a radical anti-capitalist anti-Zionist haggadah for your seder? I’ve got you covered comrade! It’s the “SoCal Haggadah,” newly revised, updated, and ready to rock your world. I have PDFs both for printing as a pretty booklet or for reading from a screen/tablet. If the prospect of the usual “God did everything. He chose us and just us. Let’s all praise Him” spiel has you down in these dark and fascist times (which, you know, of course it does) then this is the haggadah for you and your co-conspirators. Have a meal together, read the SoCal Haggadah, and go start a revolution!

I've been working on an alternative haggadah for Passover, but that of courses raises the question: “Why is this haggadah different from all the others? …or, why make yet another one?”
Magic. The answer is magic. But to explain a bit more I wrote an afterword for the haggadah that I thought would be interesting to share on its own.

I can 100% get behind this sentiment. But, last week I passed a bakery already selling panellets, and the other day I saw a castanyera. We have to make sure this nonsense doesn't start to creep earlier than October 1st or we'll be no better than the enemy.
