A quick update
I've been in San Francisco for almost a week now. It's been an interesting week. I really don't have time to write about half the things I want to, but to give a quick update:
* I'm staying with lovely people, and feel quite at home. There are kids and a dog and vegan snacks and plenty of discussions about politics, so I'm happy.
* I went to Occupy Wall Street West, which was a multi-centred protest that managed to disrupt significant parts of the SF Financial District. I've also been to an Occupy Oakland general assembly (which ended up moving into a council meteing), and joined a small counter-protest at a thousands-strong march against women's access to abortion.
* I've met some excellent people, and have friends to hang out and explore the city with. (And go to protests with.)
* Research stuff is going well, although at the moment I feel like I have way too much information to process.
So, basically, everything is pretty much okay. I have good people, I haven't been arrested, and I'm enjoying my work.
