May Day posies made by my daughters in 2017

Beltaine, also known as May Day (1st May), marks the beginning of summer in pagan & Gaelic calendars. It's marked with Maypole dancing, bonfires, fertility rituals (👀) & by making posies & leaving them at the doors of those you love.
Merry May Day 🌿-some May posies my daughters made 8 years ago:

There’s the ‘fighting Galen Weston/Loblaws and corporate food impoverishment’ kind of right thing to do, and then there’s ‘protecting our sovereignty so that we retain the chance to fight that’ kind of right thing to do.

They’re both the right thing to do.

That you wanna say Musk is next in that line of succession is no less a deep cause for pause.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I guess this is the new normal.. WTF

Absolutely.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

I fear there is deep truth here.

🧪The Japan Meteorological Agency global average surface temperature value for 2024 has been posted. The annual anomaly of the global average surface temperature in 2024 was +0.62°C above the 1991-2020 average, and was the warmest since 1891.

Re: parenthood
It seems I have wildly underestimated just how absolutely ecstatic I could be at someone else’s use of the potty.
