I have a lot of inspiring and motivational good to great art, media, and resistance books, including on/by Banksy.
I'm ever so tempted to start local cutting-"editorial" graffiti but I'm not confident I can evade surveillance (as was easy 20+ years ago in SF, NY, TO, etc.), much less cover the travel and expenses (26+ years ago I made 4x as much as I make now) - and it would distract from my other projects.
Though, what's different from 20+ years ago, is that in Windsor, Ontario there has developed a vibrant mural culture. I returned to Windsor in around 2011 extremely reclusive in an "anti"-depressant fog (long story), and quit with a very slow recovery. For my first "extroverted" effort, in 2015 I tried to offer my local Pillette Village business group my talents for art, branding, labour, and painting skills for free murals (if they paid for the supplies) to make Pillette a destination instead of a place to pass through on the way to somewhere else. They were NOT organized, so it didn't go anywhere. I thought my concept was quite original, however I learned about a simultaneous mural culture developing across Windsor. (I've taken many mural photos over the years, but not uploaded for some time. https://projex.wiki/wiki/Category:Windsor_murals )
So now, I am almost tempted to try to approach various places with mural/art proposals rather than illegally. But I wish to be VERY challenging, not just make nice art.
Semi-related, I've been considering advertising on Facebook to paint custom murals in homes (ie. characters on children's bedroom walls). My friend is likely investing in a mural printing business with his nephew - a very large set up like a CNC plotter or 3D printer but vertical rather than horizontal, it prints directly on the wall with any texture and looks fucking incredible. I'm hoping I might get in on some of that action.
Also, in case you missed it, ( @LarrySwinger, @Tom_Bombadil, @x0x7 ), this quite original Barry video I found tremendously insightful:

Jason can you please check your messages? I don't understand how you can miss them so consistently. The private chat with me that is. You can access it by clicking on my name and then on "start chat with this person", you don't have to dig through your old PMs to find the link.
Yes, I never check my ~1700 unseen messages without prompting because the message features are terrible or absent. I can't reliably manage communications with them, so I just don't try and omit endless frustration.
I'm responding to your private chat (that could use timestamps).
