The first chapter of ATP is very emblematic of French post-structuralism in that it's not actually that conceptually complex but is easily confusing to read. Essentially D&G set up their central concept of the Rhizome and then spend the rest of the chapter elaborating it over and over from different angles, using different metaphors. This can become pretty overwhelming if you lose track of their central argument. So uh what's a rhizome?

i wish 'rhizome' was a common word in english because if it was just translated into english as 'root(s)' i feel it would be a much more immediately approchable concept

Today, my friend, witchpixels and I are going to travel the entire length of the three-line, 79.6 KM rapid transit system known as SkyTrain! This will have us riding eight trains through 53 stations across seven municipalities in Metro Vancouver!

I've been wanting to do this for a while and with the construction of the Broadway extension and the upcoming Surrey/Langley extension, this is our opportunity to ride the system using what we believe is the shortest path!

@Cariad

It begins! 12:27 pm we have left VCC Clark!


Cariad
@Cariad

12:48 PM and we are at Lougheed Town Centre!


Cariad
@Cariad

1:04 PM and we completed the Millennium line! Now to go back! We lucked out as our train didn’t require us to deboard!


Cariad
@Cariad

1:23 PM and we made it to Lougheed! Unfortunately we will be waiting for our transfer train to get us to Columbia.


Cariad
@Cariad

1:37 PM and we managed to make a quick transfer at Columbia! Onward into Surrey!


Cariad
@Cariad

1:45 PM and we made it on to the long leg all the way to Waterfront!


Cariad
@Cariad

2:21 PM and we are just passing where we started!


Cariad
@Cariad

2:31 PM and we made it to Waterfront! We are going to Richmond-Brighouse first! We had to pass through the station hall but somehow boarded our waiting train effortlessly!

So far we have lucked out on transfers with the worst being five minutes!


Cariad
@Cariad

2:58 PM and we are at Richmond-Brighouse! One more transfer left and we will be at the end!


Cariad
@Cariad

3:07 PM and we are about to do the last leg. The train we need is immediately next!


Cariad
@Cariad

And time! 2 hours 49 minutes and 8 seconds to ride the entire SkyTrain system! I guess in 2025 or 2026 we can do this again with the Millennium Line extension to Arbutus.
