Here’s the full stack of previous ones for context. Seems context does matter here as, I think they are saying that if the convo reaches a dead end, you can still try to advocate for action fm a diff angle. Dr. Hayhoe also had a comment that she agreed.

Have you ever struggled to connect with someone about climate change?
Here's what to do when the conversation unravels!

Last May when I was living off grid solo up the coast I finally got around to harvesting a few oysters for my supper. They were really good!

Photo of a blue rimmed plate on a woven mat on a wooden table with shucked, steamed oysters on it. In the background is Desolation Sound, British Columbia.

Sitting quietly by the sea in Desolation Sound I met this lil guy. Garter snake sub type with turquoise under the chin, foraging along the rough and salty shore. Amazing how they have adapted to be able to swim in the saltwater.

Photo of a garter snake peeking out between barnacled rocks and oysters.

Same angle and subject as before but the snake is curled up a bit more and you can see the turquoise on the underbelly, black stripes, pale green stripe and dark orange banding.

Reminds me of the river near my place. Happy #forestfriday.

My girlfriends: Why on Earth would you want to unplug fm everything & go up the rugged coast of BC to solo tent camp off-grid for a month at a boat access only piece of wilderness land that doesn’t even have a camping platform? Me:

I’ve been fasting from the news and it has been so healthy. Have also been offline as embarking on living off-grid solo up the rugged coast of BC, Canada. I’m living out of a tent in this endeavour on a piece of wilderness property in Desolation Sound.

Desolation Sound on a good day. Blue sky. Arbutus trees. Douglas firs. A small tent looking towards the blue.

Outer worlds, inner worlds.

This would be great. My dh and I have Rad bikes and love them.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre…

the old world. And it explains so much about this one. About strains of the patriarchy that were set in motion then, are still working out their trauma narratives today. Like the Revadim Ashera. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revadim...

Photo of ancient Revadim Ashera(h) artifact from the wikipedia link. Shows a tan coloured carved female figurine with long hair that comes down and ends snake like, nursing two infants, with tree and ibex iconography on her thighs, as she reaches down to her vulva.

We went into Vancouver to bike the blossoms. I thought we might be too late as I’ve seen a lot of cherry trees in bloom already, but on our route most had not bloomed yet. But we still had a lovely bike ride, and went by my old elementary school, which was quite the trip down memory lane.

Photo:

The Easter bunny has a new furiend to help distribute spring goodies.

Photograph:

Long portrait mode, background is mossy ground between tall trunks of west coast cedar and Douglas fir. In the foreground is the bottom of the egg in the previous video, and we can see that out of it has hatched a floofy ragdoll cat with a beige bunny, surrounded by colourful small toy easter chicks and bunnies.

If you come across this post it’s a chance to pause doomscrolling & ponder for a moment the Q I asked myself hiking today: What sort of absurd creature would lay a day glow pink egg almost a meter high by the side of a cliff in a west coast rainforest? A dinosaur? 🦕 A megamonstrous pterodactyl??

Though most of the last spring break week my ability to go up to the land was blocked by bad weather (wind storms and hail even!), finally managed to take a surveyor up on Friday, and on Saturday, we had one lovely actual vacation day. The 8 yo and I planted a wee rockery.

Finally found a boat.

Photograph looking out down a slope past manzanita bushes and arbutus trees towards the sea, reflecting the blue of the sky, with just a few clouds floating by, low lying treed slopes across the water. A small aluminum boat with a blue Bimini floats near shore, tied to a mooring buoy.

So, we’ve been using an old mattress from my mom that has been the bane of our existence. I overheat on it and my dh has had neck and shoulder issues for months. Sooo we finally got a new mattress at Silk & Snow. Organic and petrochemical FREE.

Photo of the mattress rolled up in the box.

Apropos of nothing else in the news, I went to see Mindchatter live at the Commodore on Saturday. First concert out with the dh in what, 8-10 yrs? Yes, we are sad, but the concert utterly slayed. So good. Love this song: Inner Democracy

Surely, you’ve heard of Schrödinger's cat, but have you heard of Schrödinger's war? “Reporter: “You said the war is "very complete." But your Defense Secretary says "this is just the beginning." So which is it?" Trump: “You could say both."”
