Feel free to contact #SaanichPD professional standards guy about how you feel about how #SaanichPD #traumatized & used #AbuseOfBadgePower to #intimidate my brother & Mom to point my Mom was terrified they'd treat my Dad awfully & complied to #illegal demands to provide them with her personal ID. THIS IS NOT OK.

Here's the thing - if you're a penis owner & you're somewhat interacting with me in genuine ways & I tell you - straight up - I only engage in platonic friendships with men AND you try to convince me how you're different than most men - you're already disrespectful of my platonic boundaries & I've put you on my #RedFlags list.

Don't disrespect women.
Don't try being shady to get closer to us.

Invest your time better, by helping ppl in your community & expecting nothing but smiles in return.

My personal superpower is having courage to speak from my heart & soul, drawing upon both my own lived life experience lessons/observations & from life lessons learned from being open to learning from others' mistakes & from folks who are stellar at personal accountability.

I learned a long time ago that it's wise to learn from others because none of us have enough time in our lives to learn everything ourselves. It's also arrogant to think we can't learn from other peoples' life blunders.

Two of the easiest ways to inspire folks you know to get more into gardening for climate & local food security is by sharing your harvests with family/friends/neighbours/colleagues or by both sharing some yummy/pretty harvests AND gifting them an easy to grow food or herb plant (of their choice) - include care instructions for newbie gardeners & remember to encourage folks you're trying to introduce gardening to. A few kind, encouraging words, along with support - goes a helluva long way ✌🌻👩‍🌾

Does anyone know of a site where I can find out what species of flora & fauna went extinct during my short lifetime thus far?

In June, #FortAlbany #FirstNation was #evacuated due to #wildfires .
The #Cree community is near the #JamesBay coast and surrounded by the #boreal forest and peatlands.
Community members shared photos and videos on social media of massive smoke plumes above the forest's edge, with the low-lying #peatlands nearby.

I swing between calm peaceful nature appreciation & quiet family moments & raging at 'the systems' that continue to be unjust towards marginalized people & those who treat Mother Nature like our planet is disposable.

We all have different ways of seeking some sort of personal balance in a chaotic & unbalanced society.

#Indigenous & #Sikh #motorcyclists in #Manitoba made a third annual trip Saturday to #HonourChildren who died in #ResidentialSchools - as well as #survivors of the residential school system.
The rumbling motors of the bikes roared down Pembina Highway as the #EveryChildMatters ride left from Dhillon Automotive Group in #Winnipeg on Saturday morning, beginning a day-long trip across southern Manitoba.

One of my heirloom scarlett #sunflower #plants are beginning to push out their #flower petals 🥰🌻 This plant stands at about 6' tall right now.
It's my first year growing a few different heirloom sunflower varieties.

Another #yellow variety of my #daylilies have bloomed. Delightful bright & cheery florals.
You can eat daylilies - I've eaten petals & fried their buds before.

What's your morning beverage? I had to switch to decaf years ago, so mine is typically a Starbucks decaf espresso (blended mid-way for a paper filter). I use the highly-recommended AeroPress, of course. Can't do without a vegan heavy cream to add that rich, hearty flavor. Oh, and I always drink from a Star Wars mug (otherwise it doesn't taste Forceful enough).

In Māori, uterus is "whare tangata", which literally translates as "house of humanity".

My son is sleeping over at a home with 9 bathrooms, a staff, an elevator, a private beach on the lake with a boat lift and dock, tennis courts, movie theatre and the kids parents own another mega house on the same street so if you’re feeling inadequate today, hey, me too!

Ok, so I flipped out on #SocialMedia yesterday (meaning, I responded and engaged with someone that said something offensive). I blocked him but should've done that before typing that angry reply.
I think I'm on edge because the #Malaysia state elections is around the corner & feel more anxious than usual. So anti-China posts, which is almost like the anti-Chinese posts on right-wing Twitterjaya really triggered me.
I guess I may be 200+ yrs removed from my...

Still can’t get over the fact that an editor of the Financial Times said that we need to do away with #capitalism in order to deal with the #climate. If that’s not a sign of mainstream economics/finance finally waking up to the reality of the situation we’re in, I don’t now what is.

I just got a piss poor reactionary email from Sgt. Mark Pamminger - a paid consultant police peon employed by #Saanich municipal folks. He is only contacting me now - after #SaanichPoliceDepartment & #Saanich municipal folks ignored my multiple past emails on abuse of power by #SaanichPD - they are scared I will expose their BS. Fuck these late to the ethical party asshats.
