Why tho, #DB? I am sitting in a German #train, virtually missing an important meeting, because we have more than 3hrs delay. We’re currently resting our not-well oiled machines in Hameln, waiting for the rats to catch us.
Infrastructural decay is tough to swallow, ngl

ngl, I read a research report of mine from a few years ago, my #train study, and I feel like a treasure hunter.
It’s a mix of digital methods including code work (1 M tweets!), creative quali methods (podcast ethnography meets og interviews), and the prose has been smoothened by a proof write. 🫂

It would be really cool to be able to take the train to see my brother and his family.

6.5kms morning walk today. Still 40% slower than normal but the goal was to increase distance while reducing discomfort, which I did by focusing on just walking; not looking around (which causes discomfort).
Got some nice pictures though. Same mountains and valleys as the last few days but in new settings and with some new elements.

'We *must* be future focused' a man talking on his phone warns in a serious voice. He's standing in the open train carriage, wearing a white shirt, dark suit & slicked-back hair. A brightly-lit iPad dangles nonchalantly in the same hand as his briefcase. He holds onto the pole with his other hand.
Upstairs, a woman slowly & painfully reads a used car ad out loud. I wonder if she notices that the kicker's placed right at the end: the heater works, but the AC doesn't. It's a hot country.
She tries to discuss dinner with her boyfriend - she's only got $13, he's got $8. But she's interrupted by "Hello Moto" & a call from a high-pressure electricity salesperson. With absolute sincerity, she tries to help them find a better time to call her back.
They all get off at Redfern.

View out of a train window. Immediately outside there is a staircase leading down to a dock (I think?), and beyond that is a river. In the distance, a bridge goes over the water. The sun is shining, too, reflecting off the water.
