Hamish Campbell<p><strong>The stress of living in the remains of the commons, boaters in the UK</strong></p> The boater community is in rapid transition, with the pressures from gentrification, corporate control (#CRT), and online group dynamics (#failbook) colliding with a long-established scruffy, self-sufficient, and sometimes chaotic #liveaboard culture. This can be seen in the #failbook London Boaters group which has shifted away from its activist roots into more of a "management" role, shaped by #NGO-style moderation and back-channel conversations with #CRT.

Bobbing Boat<p>By a rural field, I saw a worker waiting on the offside bank of the canal, rubber suit wet up to his chest, holding up a bucket like he didn't want it to get wet. Then I spotted another worker in the shallow water by the offside bank, with a spade.</p><p>No path, no boat. How'd they get there?</p><p>Once I boated past, they waded in to cross the canal, back to the towpath side. One walked across, the other floated.</p><p><a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanalLife</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boat</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boating</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narrowboat</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/worker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worker</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/maintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maintenance</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CRT</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/LiveAboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiveAboard</span></a></p>
