Living on a small Island in British Columbia where it is quiet and the nights are dark. I need regular escapes to the Big Smoke. I do a lot of staring into the great black abyss of night. Probably anxious. Observer and seeker of happenstance.

Well it's Hallows Eve and we are socked in with rain and mist. It's only 1:30pm and the fire in the wood stove is the only thing giving light and warmth to this dreary day. I guess we'll be hunkered down with the Blue Jays if we don't float away.

the last time a World Series game was played at SkyDome in Toronto, it was in 1993 against the Phillies and their catcher was Darren Daulton. Later, his Phillies teammate, Gary Varsho, named his son after Daulton, and Daulton Varsho just homered for the Blue Jays at SkyDome in the World Series

The dark has begun on this small Island. The magic hour is now 2 o'clock in the afternoon. No city lights to reflect off the clouds, the descent has begun.

The entire budget for USAID for FY2024 was $35 billion, and it was keeping millions of the world's poorest people fed and alive. Trump just sent $40 billion to Argentina to prop up the fascist chainsaw freak in his upcoming election.

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Today is the end of 3 years of chemotherapy for my partner in crime! He's in remission after a misdiagnosis of multiple myeloma. I couldn't get him out of bed Christmas day. Bouts of Covid and then a stem cell transplant but here we are, everyone is going through something as this world turns.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Fall is the odd, uneven time...
and I'm of the #autumn people. I was born on the edge of it, or in the middle of it, depending where you live. What I know for sure is that I like bright hills, clear #rivers and the smell of fallen leaves.
