false-alarm
type: Note
content: False alarm. It's not all vegan, and whilst they do have a large range of (labelled) vegan sorbets, they don't have any vegan non-sorbet ice cream. Slightly disappointed.

london
type: Note
content: London is TOO BIG ugh it's absolutely preposterous. Also I started with nearly £25 on my oyster card yesterday and finished with exactly £0.00 so somebody explain to me how daily capping works please? I admit there was a little bit of zone 5 involved, still this is absurd.

occrp-ods
type: Note
content: For the last year I have been honoured to be part of the OCCRP Data Team, working with and for amazing tecchies and journalists, wrangling data I'd never dreamed of and learning things about the world I never expected. I'm loathe to leave but change beckons and this month I'm excited to be joining the fully-remote data-wrangling-for-good workers cooperative Open Data Services. I'm honestly astounded I keep finding great jobs in tech that support my idealistic world view, let me make a living working for positive change, with people who share my ethical stances, whilst travelling the world. I know I'm astonishingly privileged to be able to be so picky about the kind of jobs I take in the first place. It's mindblowing that I have been consistently in work for the past few years despite this.

tfw
type: Note
content: TFW you politely decline an invitation to speak at a meeting and then they want an explanation why. When I first declined, I ran through possible explanations and excuses in my head, and then decided I don't need to justify myself. Then the follow-up just threw me. I've been working for years on saying no to stuff, on not over-committing, on focusing on few things at once. I can finally do it, and I don't owe anyone an explanation when I can't perform free labour relating to a distant side project that I'm barely involved in any more. And yet. Just.. respect peoples' energy and time, folks.

vegan-in-tricity
type: Article
content: I stayed a month in the Trójmiasto (Tri-City) area on the north coast of Poland. The three cities, Gdynia, Sopot and Gdansk, are connected by a handy fast train, or stunning walks along beaches or through the woods. There were plenty of veg*n places to eat, and I didn't get to try everything on HappyCow. But here's what I did try: Gdynia i Krowa Kala A vegan burger bar right outside the SKM exit of the main Gdynia train station. I went there a few times due to convenience on my way back from the city center. It's open late, and has a lot of varied options. No English menu, however, and staff didn't seem keen on translating anything for me. Since it was all vegan, I picked at random. There's wifi, but no power that I could see (I didn't look very hard) and not much seating. (I never saw it full though.) I tried a seitan burger one time, and a tofu grill another time. Both pretty decent. Full of salad and sauces, and hard to eat. The bread is toasted, which doesn't help. They also offer pita though (and gluten-free bread). The fries were particularly good, seasoned with something a little spicy. On another occasion I got 'pierogi samosa', because I had to know... and they were neither pierogi nor samosa. More like mini deep fried cornish pasties stuffed with samosa vegetables? A big portion though, and they travelled well. They have different desserts here every day, too. One time I got a really great jam-filled doughnut. If I ever get back there, I want to try the pita with deep fried oyster mushrooms. They were out when I asked for it. I got a falafel pita instead, with distinctly non-traditional falafel, but still good (the next day, in Amsterdam). Bio-Pierkarnia A chain of eco-bakeries, with multiple branches in all three cities (though not all of the branches listed on HappyCow actually seem to exist). I mostly went to the one next door to i Krowa Kala, for obvious reasons. It's not all vegan, but about one third of their cakes, pastries and desserts are. The one…

vegan-in-vienna
type: Article
content: Part one of Vegan in Vienna earlier this year. I passed a few hours in Vienna this afternoon, between buses. It's a Sunday, so not a lot of food options. I walked (about an hour) from Stadion bus terminal to Vegetasia, an all-vegan Chinese buffet. The food was really good, from fried stuff, to fresh stuff, to rice, noodles, soups, and sushi. Ooh and savoury bao! There were desserts too, but I didn't have space. All-you-can-eat is €10.90, and by Vienna standards this is damn good value. I also had a 'cocktail' of aloe vera, lychee and lime, for €6.50, which was generously sized (though too sweet for me really, I've gotta stop ordering lychee things). The interior is well-lit and spacious too, and there are also tables outside (I'd had enough of sun by then). The staff are friendly, and there's wifi. Main drawback is they close between 1500 and 1700, so I couldn't stay there longer. Then I walked, about 35 minutes, to Erdberg bus station.

week-in-review
type: Article
content: Spent half a day in Amsterdam, saw some cool people at WebSci. Took a nightbus to London. Three days getting to know the Open Data Services dev team, who have generously agreed to employ me for the forseeable future. Went to Citizen Beta's civic tech meetup. Briefly caught up in Hull trains' crisis, but eventually made it to Lincolnshire and spent the weekend with family. Hid in a box to surprise my brother on his 21st birthday. He was not surprised.
