We had the entire patio to ourselves 🙂
At Brown's Social in downtown with my friend, Natalie. She's a horticulturalist, living in Deep Cove. We had some eats & drinks before going across street for PechaKucha Night VOL. 20.

They played tunes, the whole time we were there. We lucked out on getting street parking, one block away. Then lucked out on empty patio, on arrival. We had our own fire table 🥰

Masks are now outlawed in North Carolina, among other reasons because cops want to identify people at political protests.

I recently got so angry when watching the protesters against Tesla near Berlin. They were wearing masks. Now you might think, that's a good thing. But at most anarchists gatherings here in Europe they never wear masks anymore. So they were wearing the masks for anonymity. If they use it for that reason, it will backfire and get outlawed.

And who will suffer from that?

@antiaall3s 100% to all of this.

My son & d-i-l’s house in #Houston was hit. They & their animals are OK. Sheared off all their trees—roof & pole barn will need work. No power or cell service, but his truck is a generator & hot spot. He & his neighbors are helping each other bring all the broken branches & trees down. One of their neighbors got the top of a pine thru their house, but no one was hurt. That’s all I know for now. It’s going to be a while before I stop shaking. #tornados

Rats dug up 5 of my snow pea plants. Peanut butter baited traps are going back out in specific spots - tonight.
I tied some remaining snow pea plants up. More snow peas will be transplanted in 2 weeks.
My other plant seedlings are slowly growing in one small DIY greenhouse.

Pink purple #DamesRockets are blooming, all around our gardens. Often mistaken with phlox. Phlox has 5 flower petals. Dames rockets have 4. It's an established invasive on Vancouver Island. I leave it as it's not choking out other plants & pollinators love them. I remove many other invasives.

Salmon was caught near Maple Bay - Cowichan area waters.

msquebanh,
@msquebanh@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@Jon_Kramer Wild salmon population is dropping due to ongoing ecocide & open net salmon farming. I volunteer with wild salmon alliance here. We do stream keeping, watershed cleanups, wild salmon stocking & fish monitoring. Almost all salmon sold in restaurants & stores here are farmed. Jim Pattison, BC billionaire owns stocks in open net salmon farms & all his grocery stores sell farmed salmon. Don't buy or eat farmed salmon!

@Jon_Kramer Cowichan is on Vancouver Island. It's about 45 minutes drive, up island.

@msquebanh@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@Jon_Kramer Don't buy anymore! I've been part of a large grassroots coalition here to try & get all open net fish farms & their toxic hatcheries with frankenfish removed from BC waters. Almost all the fish farms here are owned by Norwegian companies & they have a lobbyist group in Canada that bribes our politicians & threaten any who try to stop their greedy ecocide.

Please look at eating other fish if you can't buy any wild.

@msquebanh@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@Jon_Kramer please see my past vids on trespassing into MOWI fish farms hatchery. I told DFO & MOWI to charge me with trespassing & take me to court because I want to show more evidence & have it go on public record. Neither have responded to my emails & phone calls. I literally said - Arrest me. I trespassed. - in my communications.

@Jon_Kramer Thank you. I'd really like for more folks to #BoycottFarmedSalmon.

The open net salmon farms here have killed multiple marine mammals. It's killed land mammals & birds too because they do illegal toxic shallow pit dumps in pure wilderness. I've seen countless wildlife die at these dump sites via drones because they block access to all public. They don't want ppl to see their environmental crimes.
