#introduction I am a political theory professor, writer and father living on Lekwungen territory in #VictoriaBC Canada. I'm a long-time social media lurker who is now considering posting. The Fediverse seems like the place to do it. Professional interests: contemporary continental philosophy, early modern and post-enlightement political theory, new materialism, critical IR theory, Marxism and anarchism, post/anti-colonial theory, classical Chinese philosophy, Buddhist Philosophy, Indigenous political thought, Medieval political thought, abolitionist traditions. Unprofessional Interests: Dance (contemporary and ballet specifically, but honestly anything), Jazz, experimental literature, comedy, Very Weird Music, silly pop culture commentary.

If you're in #Saanich / #VictoriaBC & able to give me some rides to/from hospital over next little while, I'd really appreciate that help. I don't have enough money to spend $50/day just for taxi transportation to/from hospital. I'm off work for all of September to be there for Mom. #YYJ #RidesNeeded #Caregiver

If you want to understand more about how white privilege works, especially in Victoria, BC, Canada - try suggesting developing a data centre in middle of Oak Bay - the richest, the whitest, the most privileged population in this city. I'll bet my life, Mom's life, both my brother's lives - it would not go through, after only one council meeting, because super rich elites would not want that in their backyards. They're OK having it in our lesser privileged backyards though. That's the same municipality that refused to build or convert unused old buildings into more affordable housing. They're completely against any type of social housing or supportive housing for our most marginalized citizens too. #WhitePrivilege #OakBay #YYJ #DataCentres #GiveTheRichDataCentres #VictoriaBC #StopEnvironmentalRacism #WarOnThePoor #ClassWar #Inhumanity

A few photos from Tuesday’s Snowbirds performance in Victoria, BC. Thanks to Capital Bike and the volunteers for running the bike valet. It was such a nice experience to be able to quickly and safely ride to a busy event using protected bike lanes and multi-use pathways. Afterwards we parked at the bike valet on Pandora Ave and had dinner downtown. What a show and what a city!🚲✈️ #yyjbike #victoriabc #snowbirds #biketooter
