X : Are you organising a mapping meetup in Seattle?
Me : No. But I'll be going to 5 point cafe on Monday night. Happy to catch up with people there.
X : Will you be presenting on mapping?
Me : No, I'll be having a coffee.
X : Are you doing anything in San Francisco?
Me : I'm on a study tour, lots of visits. But I'll be free on Friday evening (22nd March) staying at East Palo Alto. Happy to meet up somewhere local if people can recommend.
X : What sort of place?
Me : Something ordinary, a basic cafe ... nothing fancy schmancy. More somewhere to go for a coffee, chat with people if they are around or read a good book if they're not. I like life to be simple.

Having a wander around St Kilda, it's a sleepy town compared to the hustle and bustle that was Seattle. The pace of life appears much more gentle.
It also appears to be a place in some transition. Certain parts are quite run down but populated by people. Other parts (i.e. the beach front) contain many beautiful buildings but they seem devoid of life.
What is also noticeable is the number of former houses converted into flats ... given how much space there is in Australia, I'll guess that some have manufactured an artificial housing crisis?

The right to protest, to petition, to disagree is an essential element of UK democracy. I might disagree with the view but I celebrate the expression of political freedom in such a positive manner ->
I do hope that in the end (regardless of what path the UK takes) that such passion continues and is directed to taking on the gross inequalities in our society. That 14M live in poverty, in wretched conditions must be faced and we must create a fairer society.
The worst of all possible results is we return to the past status quo, for the energy to dissolve and for society to once again ignore the disenfranchised. Whatever path we take, we must redistribute both wealth and opportunity.

Ok, this evening I'll head to Oren's Hummus at about 8pm. If anyone wants to meet and talk maps, it seems like a reasonable starting point and within walking distance for me .... no idea how busy it gets.

Hmmm ... arrived early, people aren't kidding about busy. I'll have a wander and see if there is something a little less hectic.
Ok, I've moved two doors down to Local Union 271, University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA

Q: How come you don’t follow back?

A: Because for the most part my schedule is packed from 6:00 am till 9:00 pm every day and I am moving 200mph through the whole thing. I spend what very little free time I have researching crumbs and connecting dots, scouring 8ch and bringing
The notables over along with the juicy extras the bakers miss. (I’ve never been a baker- fun fact ....but I have made the notables with my digs 50+ times). I am bringing content over as fast as I possibly can to bring information to #WeThePeople for the #GreatAwakening ..
I barely read what others post even though I try to follow some of the best accounts for information ? Why? So I can retweet it and inform others. THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT! This is not about how many followers you have for popularity sake. This is not about being first to

I’ve never witnessed anything quite like Seattle grocery stores when locals are preparing to brave 4-5 inches of snow.
Like, people are stocking up on emergency tomatoes and leaving water jugs on the shelves.
People are buying gardening shovels in droves.

A white woman confronted a Hispanic dad at a playground by me who was walking his dog and accused him of trying to lure children and threatened to call the police.

Will this never end?
I don’t get it, don’t these people watch the news? Do they think this kind of behavior is ok? #seattle #PermitPatty
The playground in question is in the middle of a park surrounded by baseball fields. There are people walk dogs, picnicking etc by it all the time.

If this was a fenced pg and an adult wo a kid was hanging out that would be a dif story.

Partnerships allow creative entrepreneurs to contribute in all kinds of industrial sectors for everyone’s benefit, and we’ll be focusing on them today.

So I was thinking - for every like this post gets, I’ll do my best to post a bit of trivia about some aspect of my relationship with gender, transitioning, acceptance, etc.
A lot I’d imagine I’ll have to said before, but, y’know… it’s twitter- it’s rain vanishing down a window.
1) I didn’t have the language for it, but I first ‘knew’ I felt wrong ‘being a boy’ at around 5-6 years old.

So tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary that @SciMarchSeattle organizer @SciSwany physically assaulted me as she prevented me from leaving my own house.
Back on January 5th, at the peak of harassment from @SciSwany and her friends, I contacted @SciMarchSeattle to let them know about what one of their co-founders was doing.
I had told one of the other @SciMarchSeattle cofounders about @SciSwany chasing me out of and around the house on multiple occasions. August 2016. October 2016. January 2017. February 2017. One of the most notable assaults came on March 30th, 2017.
