#WildlifeWednesday

While waiting for the ferry, I spotted this gull eating a starfish, looked like chocking at first. Dropped it, started over.. Got a long series…

We need serious #ForestryReform in #BritishColumbia immediately. We need to implement the science-based recommendations from experts who were commissioned multiple times by #BCNDP #BCgovernment to produce #OldGrowth Strategic Reviews (twice during Horgan's regime). They promised to implement the recommendations but they have not done so. Our old growth forests aren't numerous anymore & yet our #capitalist driven, #neoliberal government is still allowing them to be cut. In a severe #ClimateCrisis - we're stuck with political leaders who are still siding with ecocidal corporations. We need to ban corporate lobbyists. They never have citizens' best interests at heart & our politicians are too easily bribed.

My frontlines interview with Donna Clark from #XRVancouver has finally uploaded.

I talk about why I'm at the blockades. I talk about the ecocide on my family's matriarch homelands. I talk about the devastating & longterm effects of the US invasion on Vietnam. I talk about how we need to protect/study/find more ancient forest medicines. I talk about colonialism & brutalities. I talk about my amazing resilient villager relations. I talk about how ecocide destroyed my matriarch village ways of life.

I also bring up the sellouts.

We were carpet bombed by #USA #racist terrorists. Fact.

Please take the time to listen to what I have to say. Thank you for those who care enough to listen to me & why I keep fighting for a better world - for all of us.

#RainbowNation #Resistance.

With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.

2021, from the frontlines.

This is where I live and I know I couldn’t be more fortunate. #SilentSunday #GarryOakMeadow #pnw #photography

This is infuriating. A rare plant was removed from the US Endangered Species list despite 90% of its population occurring on one Washington golf course. The result was fairly predictable. The golf course mows it down, and we have a completely avoidable extinction risk of not only an important pollinator plant, but an Indigenous first food too.

Some more autumn flowers in my garden. First two photos: Begonia grandis 'Alba', which is holding its blooms for a really long time this year. Perfectly hardy and perennial in the #PacificNorthwest. Second photos: Mahonia 'Charity', a hybrid of our native Mahonia aquifolium and a Chinese species. A prickly, geometric nightmare of a shrub with winter-blooming flowers that attract hummingbirds It's blooming very early this year.

The Great Wall of Snow Geese - flying in organized chaos- illuminated by sunset glow- it's a miracle they don’t collide.
Mesmerizing scenery at Fir Island, Washington.

Licorice ferns grow all over the sides of big trees in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. These are covering the branches of a Bigleaf Maple.
