i intend on posting and i plan on posting photos of me climbing on buildings, breaking into buildings, stories about interesting things that happened to me (mostly trespassing/stealing/crime related) lifting hauls, and to post political posts about on-going topics such as ukraine and france, france should riot, ukraine should win. simple stuff, stick around if you think youd like any of this :)
also i might post anything that i find cool in general in life in the form of photos

“"HUMAN SPIDER" GOING UP” Winnipeg Tribune. October 10, 1921. Page 1. ---- Defying the laws of gravitation, Bill Strother is shown in this picture going up the sheer wall of The Tribune building in a demonstration climb today. He will scale the Union bank building Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock while a searchlight plays on him from the opposite side of the street. ---- ‘Human Spider' Will Scale Sky Scraper ---- Champion Bill Strother Will Demonstrate Art at Union Bank Tuesday Evening ---- For the purpose of raising funds in aid of childrens' charities of Winnipeg, "Bill" Strother, "human spider," will defy the laws of gravitation Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock, in an attempt to climb up tho face of the Union Bank building, corner Main st. and William ave. In the dazzling glare of a searchlight his ascent will be witnessed by thousands. Every move he makes will stand out as clearly, and as sharply defined as if the demonstration had been conducted in broad daylight. "Bill" gets to the top of the building he won’t stop there; he will continue his upward journey to the top of the flag pole. Collectors for the fund will canvas the crowd for donations. Fifty per cent. of the proceeds will be devoted to charity. The money will be collected and divided by and under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus. 
"Bill" Strother, though only 25 years old, has scaled successfully more than 1,000 buildings in the Iast seven years. His greatest demonstration was in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1917. In a contest with Harry Gardener, who terms himself "the human fly," Strother defeated his opponent by reaching the topmost pinnacle of the dome of the state capital, thus defeating the former world’s champion, who was unsuccessful in the attempt.
Other notable climbs Mr. Strother has made are, the Woolworth building, New York. 57 stories, which he accomplished by relays, in one hour and 15 minutes; the Singer building. New York, 42 stories high, and the McAlpin hotel, New York, 30 stories high. Today Mr. Strother is undisputed champion building climber of the world. 
Strother, together with his manager, Arthur R. Hill, arrived in Winnipeg from Edmonton Saturday, where he has been staging demonstrations. The demonstration will be given largely, to provide impetus for the bazaar which opens Nov. 7, in the board of trade building, under the patronage of Sir James Aiklns and Premier Norris, in aid of the Associated Catholic Children's charities. Mr. Strother may give other demonstrations while in Winnipeg, for other charitable purposes. 
More than 16,000 persons saw Mr. Strother climb the "Herald" building and Pallister hotel, in Calgary, last week.

say what you want about gen alpha and what you say is probably true, but they’re trying man. My next door neighbour’s oldest boy wants to be outside all the time. he’ll come outside just to watch me cut the grass in my backyard because his house is a duplex that took up the whole lot so he doesn’t have one. we’re six blocks from the nearest “park” (if you can call it that) and he’s eight years old, he can’t go alone and both his parents work full time to pay for the house that is too big for the lot but still too small for the family. My roommates and I spent extra time outside this summer teaching him and his younger siblings to play beanbag toss or frisbee or whatever because he literally doesn’t have room in his backyard to do those things. We only have the space because our house is the only one on the block that wasn’t demolished, turned into a duplex, and sold for 3x it’s worth. He starts every my sentence with “So guess what?” because he’s so excited to have someone listen to him talk. He can’t play street hockey or basket ball in his drive way because he doesn’t have one of those either. And our street is on a slope, at the bottom of that slope is a main road with heavy traffic, so even tho cars barely drive down our street, he and his friends still can’t play basket ball or road hockey in the street because the ball or puck is gonna roll down the slope and onto the main road. it would be a disaster waiting to happen. His parents are tying too, but there’s only so much you can do when both you and your partner work full time, but it still isn’t enough to get out of the city so your kid has room to run. They limit tv time, they don’t allow their kids to watch youtube at ALL. They got their kids a cat. They got their kids bikes that they ride to the park when they’re able to supervise. It’s maximum effort with so little reward because no matter how much stuff you have it’s can’t make up for the lack of time and space. Kids NEED time and space and the demands of capitalism make it impossible for parents to give that to their children.

As soon as my final Final is taken care of, I want to draw the few Noir Spiderman suit details I had ideas on.
Microspikes for boots, hearing protection possibly around his ears in case of gunfire, camera shutter eyelids for goggles..
