in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!
i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.

I don't have any more pictures really, but I do have the story behind it! In 2020 he was interviewed by his team, and one of the questions was this:
Are there any special causes that you support?
A few years ago, the son of a friend of mine fell seriously ill and I got involved with the charity “Groot Hart” to help. The charity name means “big heart” and I’ve tried to help wherever possible. I invited him along to ride at Zandvoort with me, in a Radical SR3 and he gave me a teddy bear that weekend as a gift. Sadly, he passed away six months later, but I still carry the teddy bear with me to race weekends.
This happened in 2014 and he has carried the teddy with him since.
