Don't even start with me this morning if you've never had to chase a 7 year old across a muddy field in the pouring rain just to get them to *bring* their raincoat to school *in their backpack.* I need primal scream therapy.

I just watched a video of the RCMP trying to unlawfully arrest a young man I've known since childhood.. I want to encourage everyone to call and email David Eby's office and tell the government we don't want any more old growth logged or forest defenders arrested. 250-387-1715 or premier@gov.bc.ca

I'm not sure why I'm so convinced that eggnog in coffee will solve my problems, it's obviously a false belief.

Why just "extend temporary protections" in the #FairyCreek watershed until Sep. 30, 2026?
Both Canada and BC committed to the UNDRIP. You can't pick and choose which First Nations' rights to uphold.

So... This was an interesting article to come across given recent events in the Walbran Valley & Fairy Creek... Is Eby actually listening to those of us who've been calling & emailing? Not sure. www.biv.com/news/eby-say...

“Wright measured the cedar's diameter at 2.79 metres, a size that should have ensured protection for the tree, along with a one-hectare buffer under provincial law.
But when he returned…the tree had been felled as part of a logging operation approved by the province.”

Why was 'incredible' giant cedar cut down, despite B.C.'s big-tree protection law?
Joshua Wright says a yellow cedar tree he photographed last year was "incredible," the largest he'd ever seen in a decade of hiking around Vancouver Island.

Flamenco is so hard, but I think because it's so difficult and I'm so bad at it I want to prove something to myself and keep doing it. Also seriously considering cancelling my gym membership in January and just taking as many dance classes as I can fit in my schedule. #dance #amateur #flamenco

Teal Jones filed for bankruptcy under CCAA in 2024. TJ fought the community, protesters, and Indigenous leaders in the courts to keep logging Fairy Creek, the last 2% of old-growth forests -- to keep raking in the profits.
Unless TJ changes its ways, let's ensure it remains in the red.

Again, as this is a public health emergency, where’s Public Health
Vancouver Fire Rescue Services responded to 54 overdoses last Friday - the most in a single day in the department's history. Averaged 16 per day in May.
There has been a surge in ODs reported all across the province in the past few weeks.
