A BC moment, my life riding these small ferries, the milk run homeward bound.

Today has been torrential rain and furious sun. Too restless to let the paint dry. Wind howling crazy music, too loud to hear the cuckoo across the burn, somewhere in the broken wood. #sketchbook #art #ScottishArtists

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

#ResistanceEarth The COOLCITY platform has ranked a town in Poland the most climate change resilient in the EU. The town earned the top score of 8.5, largely due to the country's initiative to reduce concrete, increase greenery and improve water retention. notesfrompoland.com/2026/05/09/p...

Every year my husband takes my son to the thrift store and lets him pick whatever he thinks I need for Mother’s Day, which this year is a straw hat and book of sea shanties

What a tender poem from Ursula K. Le Guin I recognise this anger/love very much

Tonight's sunset.

Gaza is facing an “environmental and biological apocalypse” under Israeli bombardment and blockade, reports Palestinian aid worker Eyad Amawi of the Gaza Relief Committee.

Neptunia oleracea can grow on moist soil, but as it grows into water, it produces corky tissue on its stems that allows the stems to float. The leaves are held above the water. They are sensitive to touch, like Mimosa pudica. 📷: Gwendolyn Stansbury CCBYNCND2. #aquatic #Fabaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

The moon is up and riding high in the sky. On the ferry coming home

#WIPWednesday • I missed last week because I was so sick. But I’m improving in hospital & have done a fair bit of stitching. Working on the more sparse colours & had to send Husbandchef out for a couple other shades. #SciArt #embroidery

Sad news that Langara’s long-respected journalism program may be coming to an end. The decline of journalism (lack of funding, attacks on credibility, corporate ownership/mergers) is a serious problem in the state of the world we currently find ourselves in. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/04/29/v...

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

I’ve been feeling blue today I took myself to the sea The tide is out it’s just me, a lone heron And the sound of the sea I think I’m feeling a bit better

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

NASA’s Earth photos from Artemis inspired me to put this on today… 🙂 Getting lots of positive comments on it as I run errands…

Today is Holy Monday - the day Jesus threw the merchants and money changers out of the temple. He was incensed at them for commercialising a house of prayer. What would Jesus think of those "conservatives" who see religion as a way to spread hatred and make money?

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

Wore the pin my step daughter sent me!

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

Greed doesn't just destroy forests.It murders millennia-old beings that can't run or fight back. Less than 5% of the world’s old-growth forests remain intact. We are on the verge of telling our children that giants once walked the Earth,as if it were a fairy tale. It isn’t fantasy.It’s our reality.

Only a couple days old but already has the zoomies 🥰 🐣 🪶

Regardless of the madness in human affairs, the celestial ballet continues. Venus and the moon following the sun towards the horizon.

Good Morning, finally blue skies 😊

Made a beautiful focaccia garden for the spring equinox. We’re doing a lil feast and a fire pit. Needing some rebirth up in here!!

Another starless night, the Spring Equinox seems to bring me dreams I remember upon waking. I always wake in the dark and wait for the morning light.

As a general rule, if the river flows to the Pacific it is Chile and if the river flows to the Atlantic it is Argentina. The rare exception is the Futaleufú. The greatest of Patagonian rivers carves across the Andes. It belongs to both countries. It belongs to the world.

Irish-American pagan here. DO NOT set leprechaun traps. this invites faer folk directly into your home & invokes a murky wager, which they will mostly certainly win. Celebratory shenanigans with the Daoine Sídhe should have clear terms for both mortal humans & our beautiful kind neighbors.

Josh Hawley named his bill to ban the abortion drug mifepristone nationwide the "Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act." Abortion is safer at any stage of pregnancy than giving birth, but fascists act as if pregnant people need protection from abortion www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

I'm trying to gather up the hopeful feelings of Spring 🐦

1/ I was in Toronto last night to surprise my incredible mother, Michele Landsberg, as she received the Ursula Franklin award from Canadian Voice of Women for Peace.

Looks like Persephone has popped up from the Underworld. Happy Woman’s Day!

Our David Suzuki is about to turn 90 this month! Still fighting the good fight.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Does anyone actually know why we…ya know…started a WAR IN IRAN?!
