Commons scholar Peter Linebaugh describes the street in 18th-century England as part of the urban commons: a vital place for sport, theatre, trade and encounter, a space joining producer and consumer, where social and economic life were inextricable. The wave of enclosures in the late 18th century (a large-scale process of privatisation, closing off and fencing in) affected urban infrastructure as well as common lands. The street moved from a place for lingering and negotiations to its primary role as a thoroughfare. Alongside this transformation, Linebaugh notes in his book Stop, Thief! (the meaning of "traffic" changed from commodity exchange to vehicular motion on the roadways linking forever speed, avarice, and congestion?
The term 'traffic still refers to trade, but is now synonymous with illicit and exploitative practices. This slippage in meaning makes me wonder if the removal of trade from the streets, the common and vernacular, might be considered as another fundamental form of enclosure (at least in England, where I write): the separation of the worker from the means of distribution. Something relinquished that could yet be recovered, by changing how we think and act with infrastructure.

people acting like its some terrible shame that anyone was speculating about Kate Middleton's whereabouts now we know its cancer. Oh shame for ever making fun of shitty photoshop jobs, don't you know she has cancer??
Nah mate. She married into a rich and powerful family thats been leeching of the British public and wider world for decades, centuries even. She is going to be given top treatment, probably at the expense of others. Hell despite the cock up they kept her out of the public eye for months so that's not a big stress either.
I'm sure it sucks for her and her rich spawn. I might even say I feel bad for the younger kids. I dont wish cancer on anyone but Charles etc, etc.
But lets not act like she's some poor single mother waiting on the NHS. Struggling on benefits or struggling to work while on chemo. Trying to feed her kids during cost of living crisis. Trying to just find time to be with them.
Kate has all the money in the world, her kids are in top schools with lots of rich relatives. They could easily be taken out of school and taught by top tutors to be more flexible with her health. She will likely be fine. And even if she isn't? She'll have had the best chance out of anyone. She would have the most comfort possible and people around her until the end.
So no. I literally do not care. I have no guilt or grief over memeing the every loving fuck out of a PR cockup by a bunch of royal leeches. To act like I should is absolute bollocks.

There is an entire category of superhero that became a superhero because they wanted friends and I find it truly hilarious that the Young Avengers, arguably some of the most badass heroes in Marvel, all joined the team because they were lonely

(after their spouses see a viral citizen’s video of them needlessly walking a high-wire between two buildings)
Yelena: Kate just text that they saw the video.
Natasha: Shit.
Yelena: She sent the knife emoji. They're going to kill us.
Natasha: I could tell Bucky I'm pregnant with his baby. Can't kill me then.
Yelena: With what uterus?! And how does that help me?!
Natasha: You could tell Kate she's pregnant with your baby.
