My friend's Dad, was discharged 2 days ago from hospital after 5 weeks stay, just tested positive for #Covid19 & he's been completely isolated since discharge & only ppl who have been in his home were 2 family members & 2 community health workers - all masked with N95 all the time. My friend believes but can't prove that his Dad got #covid from people inside the hospital.
"The B.C. Conservation Officer Service advises that if you encounter a cougar, never turn your back and never run. Pick up children, make yourself look as large as possible and keep the animal in front of you at all times."
My Dad deserved better, in last moments alive. I'm fighting for justice & my fuel is my everlasting love for my Dad. #Saanich#police & #SaanichCouncil employers must be held accountable for failures towards longtime Saanich residents. We didn't deserve #AntiMasker cops invading our home without legal causes.
I still remember the first time I got the shit kicked out of me by 3 men, on Yates St, in downtown #VictoriaBC in front of old Scandals nightclub 1995 - because I wasn't OK with how they tried to beat up my #TransFriend in her dress. One of the violent bullies was their coworker in BC Govt. My trans friend reported every single bigot incident but #BCgovernment did NOTHING to protect them. They were actually told they should quit if they can't deal with bigots.
I found this #free#WineGrapes patch 3 years ago & made note to return each year to #harvest more #fruit 🍇 Took us about 10 minutes to pick a bag of #grapes 😁
I underestimated the harvest weight yesterday; we got closer to 8lbs in the bag I'm holding in the photo!
It's part of my musical park tour video that you can vicariously enjoy. I suggest watching this, when you need a little extra joy & natural beauty in your life: https://youtu.be/wJC97eCmVJM?si=vYmFJE7J33JOjH7s
Happy to see some of my alternate cover crops lawn replacement seeds sowing efforts, slowly paying off. Lots of red & white clovers, more sedges, self heal, wild chamomile, plantain & wild sorrels are showing up on our front lawn space now 👩🌾🥰👍🌿👍
There's active #rewilding work being done in Newman Park in #CentralSaanich 👍
I saw new big leaf maple & garry oak #trees planted in the old pasture fields by the parking lot.
I'll be back at local highway overpasses around #VictoriaBC, with my #Palestinian flag & protest signs in about 2 weeks or less. Even if I go & stand alone - I'll be out there, doing my thing because I believe every single act of humanity matters.
I'll be speaking shortly after 1pm. Please come & chat before or after & signup to volunteer for my upcoming community art for #Palestine#solidarity event ✌️🎨🇵🇸🍉💗
Some of the #footpath#NatureTrails we walked on today 😊 It was sure nice to see no other humans in the park. We enjoyed a lot of nature delights, loved all the birds calling & singing, saw a squirrel & muskrat in creek areas & had a lovely time together ❤️
It's proven to be #DroughtResistant, once established. One of very few #plants proven to be resistant to air pollution too. I highly recommend this for #ClimateAction#gardening. It's a gorgeous plant too.
Large #edible#perennial that needs full sun & no shade. As it's namesake, tolerant of high sodium soil & wind resistant - it depends on winds to pollinate hermaphroditic flowers. I recommend this easy to grow #plant, for coastal food gardens.
Heading home now. Good #solidarity protest for #ceasefire for #Palestine in #VictoriaBC today.
Enjoyed chatting with some younger disabled activists who approached me at rally
