Me 🍁, Antifa / Love My Country 🇨🇦

Incredible to watch a pod of Orcas encircling a Harbour Seal that was hauled out atop a raft of kelp. Even more incredible to see a Humpback Whale repeatedly defending the seal. Fascinating altruistic behaviour! Yesterday in the Salish Sea, guiding for RPBO & @eaglewingtours.bsky.social. #MarineLife

Belgium turns old wind turbine blades into park benches & playground equipment. These massive fiberglass structures were headed to landfills but now they have a second life as stylish public furniture. The photo depicts a vibrant expanse of green park grass and people sitting on wind turbine blades converted to sleek, curvy benches. It really does look space-agey and sophisticated as all get-out. And what a COOL way ti repurpose something so massive, that would otherwise just sit in a landfill. I am so impressed. It reminds me of that country that was making asphalt out of chopped up old tires and other plastics too difficult to recycle. Whatever happened with that? I thought for sure that would catch on. It was brilliant. I always assumed it turned out to be prohibitively expensive (gods forbid we pay extra money to save the fucking planet) or even worse for the environment, somehow... I'm going to look that up. Every time I think about it it bothers me I don't know what happened with that. Anyway - these turbine blades look super cool. I bet one day the US will have innovation again. If we don't kills ourselves off, or cut ourselves off from the rest of the world, Gilead-style. FUCK. I am so depressed.

There are other countries on the planet besides your own.

When you take the time to look around at them, & consider the possibility THEY might have brilliant people with extraordinary ideas to share with the world...

LOOK WHAT HAPPENS!

No cancer or dead whales or birds.

Just cool park benches.

I love whales.

You know what's a teller?

Guys who follow you, lotsa pics of selfies, nothing to add but cats pics, immediate dm's.

Enuff said.

Creepy.

Because these people are racists through and through, who think that Indigenous people are thieves who have always tried to wheedle things out of white people. In reality, has it not always been exactly the other way around?

Thank you for spreading the word Lisa. I signed it back on September 11, so it is encouraging to see the number of signatures to date. It’s grown substantially. I plan to post the link in the comments of every post showing a politician lying.

it's become painful
to laser in on reality
i used to curse my faulty eyes
now i'm glad i have the option
of soft focus
i'll chance the sharp edge
of the coffee table or the embrace
of the doorframe
rather than stare into
the circles of hell wrapping us
in the ugliest history has
to offer

I thought so as well, which is why I posted it. A lot of people are struggling right now, so thought it might give some people something to think about and maybe help get through some difficult days.

Looks like it's a bighorn day.

Oh and if you get a chance follow the link and please do consider a small donation tonight. My illness cost me that part time thing that was keeping me above water and things are, difficult at the moment while I await surgery.
Thank you ;-)

Greta Thunberg among Gaza flotilla detainees to leave Israel Swedish activist Greta Thunberg will be among more than 70 people of different nationalities to leave Israel on Monday after they were seized aboard an intercepted Gaza aid flotilla.

Very pleased #GretaThunberg will be leaving Israel tomorrow. Recent reports of the treatment she received while there were extremely worrying. I hope that she does a comprehensive sit-down interview addressing all of what happened and that it happens soon. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

It was honolulucycalist right? Listifications just confirmed he blocked me.

I liked that original post with the speech. It was good and had some good lessons.

Yes totally agree no need to engage .

Wow. Well, no loss. He missed the entire point, then lectures me on what I should post. I have enough narcissists in my life! Sheesh.

I guess I got blocked too. Never said boo to him.
