I am really enjoying Sugunes Thivamalar’s teaching style: crisp, effective, approachable, with well thought-out series of asanas. She has several classes a week, 30 min. each, and I feel much less pain afterward. Free/by donation on #InsightTimer. insig.ht/pc79IxKt14b #YogaTeacher #YogaClasses 🧘🏻‍♀️🇲🇾

I am very much enjoying Outcast by Rosemary Sutcliff. 📚

Are these bristletails? My friend would like to know what species if anyone has any idea. They are in Orkney. #Invertebrates # bristletails

It is amazing to me that such a law exists and is currently being prosecuted. I get the intent behind it, but wow. I notice that the woowoo benefits offered by prayer circles and other Christian methods are not illegal, however similar they are. #WitchSky

#VancouverPaganAwarenessDay is coming soon 💖. I’ll be offering a Brigit devotional and reading a couple of prayers from A Brigit of Ireland Devotional - Sun Among Stars, then leading a workshop, Finding Our Voice with Brigit, Goddess and Saint. #PaganSky #BrigidGoddessAndSaint #FindingOurVoice 🕯️📚

So funny. I was searching the other night for a book on the history of Buddhism in Vietnam, giving up when it got complicated and I had to sleep. I opened a book today that I’d ordered a while back: there it was. A beautiful, detailed history and absorbing read in Master Tang Hoi by Thich Nhat Hanh.

#SmallBeauties Image of 3 Black-and-White Photos on a white wall beneath a woven hanging. They are many years old. When is there an elderly woman wearing a baseball cap and gloves, one is of the same old woman with her brother, grand son in law and great grandchildren. 3rd is a young family.

#SmallBeauties I can’t get into the alt text for some reason. Photo of three people, focused on a young white child about to bite the face of his auntie.

In honour of gay pride month, I want to salute myself and my friends for being brave in circumstances when you risked everything if you let people know you were anything but straight. We were sweet, and smart, and so human. Please, let’s not allow that poison to gain control again. Below: young me.

My Irish class got a little out of hand today... #AltText shows a screenshot with the words "Tá glaiseanna lámh bandearga clúmhacha ar an leaba” and myself, a white woman of a certain age, laughing. (Translation: “There are pink fluffy handcuffs on the bed.”) #Gaeilge 

The first 2 photos are volunteers in my garden: a lovely columbine and a nest of baby yellow & black orb-weaver spiders (unfortunately not as clear as I’d like.) I always feel honoured when they appear in my garden. Finally, some aquatic plants and wet-loving Vietnamese coriander. #SmallBeauties 🌿🐙🕷️
