- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

So here’s the thing with that- doing the exact same thing every day is even worse for me because the memory of doing it every day for the past x days occasionally ends up ticking off the check box in my mind for today as well. Also the way my brain is wired it often ends up counting “remembering to do/bring a thing” as “doing/bringing the thing”. It’s a wild way to live life and it’s a constant patchwork of coping mechanism and cheats and hacks to get things done. AirTags help out a great deal.
